Abstract:
A fabrication method of the semiconductor device comprises forming an isolation layer and an active region, which is defined by the isolation layer, on a substrate, forming an insulating layer on the substrate, forming a plurality of pillar masks, which are spaced from one another by a first gap and a second gap that is smaller than the first gap, on the insulating layer, forming spacers on the plurality of pillar masks, forming mask bridges in regions where the plurality of pillar masks are spaced from one another by the second gap by partially removing the spacers and forming a contact hole, which exposes the active region, by etching the insulating layer using the plurality of pillar masks and the mask bridges.
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor pattern can include providing an etching target layer. A hard mask pattern can be formed on the etching target layer using photolithography. First spacers can be formed on opposing sidewalls of the hard mask pattern and the hard mask pattern can be removed from between the first spacers to provide a first double patterning pattern self-aligned to the hard mask pattern. The planarization of top surfaces of the first double patterning pattern can be increased to provide a smoothed first double patterning pattern.
