  • Patent number: 10950439
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pattern forming method is disclosed. The method includes forming a guide pattern, forming a block copolymer film that covers the guide pattern and includes first and second polymers, and forming a microphase-separation pattern including first portions of the first polymer and second portions of the second polymer which are alternately arranged by subjecting the block copolymer film to microphase separation. The method further includes measuring a position of the guide pattern, the first portions or the second portions by using a scanning probe microscope, determining whether a misalignment amount of the first portions with respect to the guide pattern is within a first range, based on the measured position of the first and the guide pattern, and removing the first portions, when the misalignment amount is within the first range.
