Abstract

A method for preparing a semiconductor device structure includes forming a target layer over a semiconductor substrate, and forming a plurality of first mask patterns over the target layer. The method also includes forming a plurality of energy removable spacers on opposite sidewalls of each of the first mask patterns, and forming a second mask pattern over the target layer and between the energy removable spacers. The method further includes removing the energy removable spacers, and etching the target layer using the first mask patterns and the second mask pattern as a mask.
