Abstract: In a method of forming patterns, first and second upper reverse patterns are formed on a lower reverse layer. A buffer layer is formed to fill first opening portions provided by the first upper reverse pattern. A shield pattern is formed to cover a second region of the buffer layer. An etching process is performed using the shield pattern and the first upper reverse pattern as an etching mask to form first lower reverse patterns providing second openings overlapping first openings, a buffer layer pattern and a second lower reverse pattern overlapping the shield pattern. A hard mask layer is formed and etched to separate hard mask layer first patterns filling the first and second openings. An etching process is performed using the hard mask layer first patterns and the second upper reverse patterns as etching masks to form third lower reverse patterns overlapping the second upper reverse pattern.
