US Patent 9087729 Semiconductor devices including unitary supports

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of cylindrical structures located at vertices and central points of a plurality of hexagons in a honeycomb pattern, and a unitary support having a plurality of openings. Each of the openings exposes a part each of four of the cylindrical structures. Each of the openings has the shape of a parallelogram or an oval substantially. A first distance between opposite cylindrical structures of a first pair of the four cylindrical structures exposed by each opening is shorter than a second distance between opposite cylindrical structures of a second pair of the four cylindrical structures exposed by the opening. The first distance is equal to a distance between the central point and each of the vertices of the hexagon.
