High density semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. Spacer fabrication techniques are utilized to form circuit elements having reduced feature sizes, which may be smaller than the smallest lithographically resolvable element size of the process being used. A first set of spacers may be processed to provide planar and parallel sidewalls. A second set of spacers may be formed on planar and parallel sidewalls of the first set of spacers. The second set of spacers serve as a mask to form one or more circuit elements in a layer beneath the second set of spacers. The steps according to embodiments of the invention allow a recursive spacer technique to be used which results in robust, evenly spaced, spacers to be formed and used as masks for the circuit elements.
