Publication number: 20130288482Abstract: In a method of forming a pattern, a photoresist pattern is formed on a substrate including an etching target layer. A surface treatment is performed on the photoresist pattern to form a guide pattern having a higher heat-resistance than the photoresist pattern. A material layer including a block copolymer including at least two polymer blocks is coated on a portion of the substrate exposed by the guide pattern. A micro-phase separation is performed on the material layer to form a minute pattern layer including different polymer blocks arranged alternately. At least one polymer block is removed from the minute pattern layer to form a minute pattern mask. The etching target layer is etched by using the minute pattern mask to form a pattern. Minute patterns may be formed utilizing a less complex process that those employed during conventional processes of forming a minute pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jae-Woo Nam, Kyoung-Seon Kim, Eun-Sung Kim, Chul-Ho Shin, Shi-Yong Yi
