Summary: | A method of monitoring critical dimensions of gate electrode structures is provided including providing a substrate, forming a gate electrode pattern on the substrate comprising forming gate electrode lines parallel to each other, forming a mask layer on the gate electrode pattern and forming openings in the mask layer in a crosswise direction with respect to the direction of the parallel gate electrode lines, thereby exposing portions of the gate electrode pattern, etching exposed portions of the gate electrode pattern through the mask layer openings, thereby obtaining a negative image of the mask layer openings, removing remaining portions of the mask layer, and monitoring dimensions of the mask layer openings. |
