The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device that includes forming a mask layer over a substrate, forming a dummy layer having a first dummy feature and a second dummy feature over the mask layer, forming first and second spacer roofs to cover a top portion of the first and second dummy features, respectively, and forming first and second spacer sleeves to encircle side portions of the first and second dummy features, respectively, removing the first spacer roof and the first dummy feature while protecting the second dummy feature, removing a first end portion and a second end portion of the first spacer sleeve to form spacer fins, and patterning the mask layer using the spacer fins as a first mask element and the second dummy feature as a second mask element. |
