  • Patent number: 11289337
    Abstract: In a method of forming pattern, a target layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and pluralities of first spacers having cylindrical shapes protruding from the target layer are formed. A second spacer layer is formed to cover the first spacers, provide interstitial spaces between the first spacers, and provide second inner spaces within first inner spaces of the first spacers, respectively. The second spacer layer is etched to form first opening portions in which the second inner spaces and the interstitial spaces extend into the target layer.
