  • Patent number: 12631966
    Abstract: A method of forming a photoresist pattern and a semiconductor device on which a photoresist pattern manufactured according to the same is formed. The method includes forming a photoresist pattern on a substrate; coating an organic topcoat composition including an acrylic polymer including a structural unit containing a hydroxy group and a fluorine and an acidic compound on the photoresist pattern; drying and heating the substrate on which the organic topcoat composition is coated to coat it with a topcoat; and spraying a rinse solution including an ether-based compound on the substrate coated with the topcoat to remove the topcoat.
