1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising:

  • forming at least one hard mask, each hard mask comprising an oxide layer disposed between an upper nitride layer and a lower nitride layer;

    reducing a lateral dimension of the hard mask oxide layer to less than the corresponding lateral dimension of the hard mask upper nitride layer;

    forming a gate structure on a substrate using each hard mask, each gate structure comprising a first spacer layer, the first spacer layer conforming to the dimensions of the hard mask oxide layer.
