  • Patent number: 9520289
    Abstract: In a method of forming a pattern of a semiconductor device, a hard mask layer is formed on a substrate. A photoresist film is coated on the hard mask layer. The photoresist film is exposed and developed to form a first photoresist pattern. A smoothing process is performed on the first photoresist pattern to form a second photoresist pattern having a roughness property lower from that of the first photoresist pattern. In the smoothing process, a surface of the first photoresist pattern is treated with an organic solvent. An ALD layer is formed on a surface of the second photoresist pattern. The ALD layer is anisotropically etched to form an ALD layer pattern on a sidewall of the second photoresist pattern. The hard mask layer is etched using the second photoresist pattern and the ALD layer pattern as an etching mask to form a hard mask pattern.

    Abstract: In a method of forming a pattern, a lower coating layer and a photoresist layer are sequentially formed on an object layer. An exposure process may be performed such that the photoresist layer is divided into an exposed portion and a non-exposed portion. A portion of the lower coating layer overlapping or contacting the exposed portion is at least partially transformed into a polarity conversion portion that has a polarity substantially identical to that of the exposed portion. The non-exposed portion of the photoresist layer is selectively removed.
