Abstract: In a method of forming patterns of a semiconductor device, a to-be-etched layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. First etch mask patterns are formed over the to-be-etched layer. An auxiliary layer is formed on the first etch mask patterns and the to-be-etched layer. The auxiliary layer is thicker on upper sidewalls of the first etch mask patterns than on lower sidewalls thereof. Second etch mask patterns are formed in concave portions of the auxiliary layer. The auxiliary layer between the first and second etch mask patterns is removed. The to-be-etched layer is patterned using the first and second etch mask patterns as an etch mask.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling an electronic apparatus, including a user input unit which includes a plurality of user input keys to receive user input signals; a control unit which determines which user input keys can be operated from among the plurality of user input keys based on arrangement information of at least one piece of selection information displayed on a screen and selected in response to a user input signal and provides information about the determined user input keys; and a transmitting unit which transmits identification information identifying the user input key, wherein when one of the determined user input keys is selected, the control unit controls the transmitting unit to transmit the identification information to the electronic apparatus so that selection information corresponding to a position of the selected user input key can be selected from the pieces of selection information displayed on the screen.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for selecting a broadcast channel are provided. The apparatus includes a controller which constructs a broadcast information providing screen image such that broadcast information of each of a plurality of channels is arranged at a location corresponding to a location of each of a plurality of user input keys, based on arrangement information of at least one piece of the user input keys; a display processor which controls outputting of the broadcast information providing screen image; and a user input signal receiving unit which receives an input signal from one of the user input keys, wherein the controller selects a broadcast channel corresponding to broadcast information at a location corresponding to a location of the user input key through which the input signal is received.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording a non-recorded part of a partially recorded broadcast program, e.g., the recording starts from the middle of the broadcast program, is provided. The broadcast program recording apparatus includes a control unit, which when a broadcast program that a user is watching is selected to be recorded and at least a part of the broadcast program is not recorded, requests a program compensator to compensate for the non-recorded part of the broadcast program; the program compensator recording the non-recorded part of the broadcast program at the request of the control unit; and a storage unit storing the recorded broadcast program. If a user instantly wants to record a broadcast program, the broadcast program recording apparatus compensates for a non-recorded part of the broadcast program before the recording started, thereby completely recording the broadcast program.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording a broadcast program, by which a user can know whether a program the user wants to record will be rebroadcasted using electronic program guide (EPG) information, thereby allowing the user to choose whether to continue or cancel recording of the broadcast program.
