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.
