Abstract:
A method includes forming a hydrophilic guide layer, a DBARC layer and a photoresist film. A portion of the photoresist film and DBARC layer is exposed to form exposed and unexposed portions. The unexposed photoresist film is removed to form a photoresist pattern including the exposed photoresist film portion. A neutral layer is formed on the photoresist pattern. The photoresist pattern and the DBARC layer of the exposed portion are removed to form first opening portions exposing the guide layer. A block copolymer layer includes a block copolymer having first and second polymer blocks coated on the neutral layer while filling the first opening portions. The block copolymer layer is microphase separated to form a pattern layer including first and second patterns. A pattern including one polymer block is removed to form a pattern mask. The object layer is etched to form a pattern including second opening portions.
Abstract:
A conductive pattern on a substrate is formed. An insulating layer having an opening exposing the conductive pattern is formed. A bottom electrode is formed on the conductive pattern and a first sidewall of the opening. A spacer is formed on the bottom electrode and a second sidewall of the opening. The spacer and the bottom electrode are formed to be lower than a top surface of the insulating layer. A data storage plug is formed on the bottom electrode and the spacer. The data storage plug has a first sidewall aligned with a sidewall of the bottom electrode and a second sidewall aligned with a sidewall of the spacer. A bit line is formed on the data storage plug.
Abstract:
In a method of forming a pattern, a photoresist pattern is formed on a substrate including an etching target layer. A surface treatment is performed on the photoresist pattern to form a guide pattern having a higher heat-resistance than the photoresist pattern. A material layer including a block copolymer including at least two polymer blocks is coated on a portion of the substrate exposed by the guide pattern. A micro-phase separation is performed on the material layer to form a minute pattern layer including different polymer blocks arranged alternately. At least one polymer block is removed from the minute pattern layer to form a minute pattern mask. The etching target layer is etched by using the minute pattern mask to form a pattern. Minute patterns may be formed utilizing a less complex process that those employed during conventional processes of forming a minute pattern.

Abstract:
Methods of forming contact holes include forming a first guide pattern over an etching target layer. The first guide pattern has first openings each extending in a first direction and each first opening arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. A first BCP structure is formed in each first opening. The first BCP structure includes first material layers in the first direction at a first pitch in each of the first openings, and second material layers filling a remaining portion of each first opening. First holes are formed by removing the first material layers. A second guide pattern is formed over the first guide pattern and the second material layers, and the above processes are performed on the second guide pattern to form second holes. Portions of the etching target layer overlapped by the first holes or the second holes are removed to form a desired pattern.
