ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating conductive lines is described. A substrate having a polysilicon layer thereon is provided. A mask layer having an opening that exposes the polysilicon layer is formed on the polysilicon layer. Then, spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the mask layer. Using the mask layer and the spacers as a mask, a portion of the polysilicon layer is removed until the substrate is exposed. After that, an insulating layer that completely fills the opening is formed over the substrate. The insulating layer has an etching selectivity different from the mask layer. Thereafter, the mask layer is removed to expose the polysilicon layer and then a metal silicide layer is formed on the upper surface of the polysilicon layer.
