Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor structure is disclosed. The method includes the following steps. A first pattern structure and a second pattern structure are formed on a substrate. The second pattern structure is wider than the first pattern structure. Spacers are formed on sidewall surfaces of the first pattern structure and the second pattern structure. An oxidizing treatment step is performed to the spacers having a width gradually increased from tops of the spacers. A pattern defined with the spacers is transferred into the substrate after the oxidizing treatment step.
