Abstract

A method for manufacturing a mask structure includes: patterning a sacrificial layer and a second dielectric layer, so as to form pattern structures each including a first pattern and a second pattern, and a width of a lower portion of the pattern structures is less than a width of a upper portion of the pattern structures; forming an initial mask pattern on sidewalls of each of the plurality of pattern structures; filling a first filling layer between adjacent initial mask patterns located on the sidewalls of different pattern structures; removing the second patterns and the initial mask pattern located on sidewalls of each of the plurality of second patterns; removing the first filling layer and the first patterns, so as to form first mask patterns; and forming second mask patterns on the first mask patterns.
