Original Abstract Submitted
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: providing a substrate; forming a plurality of first mask layers over the substrate, wherein each of the first mask layers extends along a first direction; forming a plurality of second mask layers over the substrate, wherein each of the second mask layers extends along a second direction different from the first direction; patterning the plurality of second mask layers to form a cut pattern; forming a first aperture modification layer on the cut pattern to define a plurality of first openings overlapping the plurality of first mask layers along a third direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction; patterning the plurality of first mask layers to form an active region definition pattern; and patterning the substrate to define an active region by the active region definition pattern.
