Abstract: A method for forming a storage node using photoresist is described. The method can form a storage node pattern in a rectangular shape which allows for deep etching because it has a smaller slope than a conventional elliptical pattern by employing a double exposure method which firstly forms a portion corresponding to the major axis of the storage node using a negative photoresist and secondly forms a portion corresponding to the minor axis of the storage node using a positive photoresist.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, wherein a reticle that can expose only a portion where the pattern is changed on an edge area of a wafer is manufactured, and then a double exposure process is performed by using the reticle, whereby all of the photoresist on the part where the pattern is changed is removed. There are advantages that the yield of the semiconductor device is enhanced, and the electrical properties thereof are improved.
