摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, sacrificial layer patterns extending in a first direction are formed on an etch target layer. Preliminary mask patterns are formed on opposite sidewall surfaces of each of the sacrificial layer patterns. A filling layer is formed to fill a space between the preliminary mask patterns. Upper portions of the preliminary mask patterns are etched to form a plurality of mask patterns. Each of the mask patterns is symmetric with respect to a plane passing a center point of each of the mask patterns in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and extending in the first direction. The sacrificial layer patterns and the filling layer are removed. The etch target layer is etched using the mask patterns as an etching mask to form a plurality of target layer patterns.

Methods of forming an integrated circuit device may include forming an insulating layer on an integrated circuit substrate, forming a first conductive layer on the insulating layer, and forming a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer so that the first conductive layer is between the second conductive layer and the insulating layer. Moreover, the first conductive layer may be a layer of a first material, the second conductive layer may be a layer of a second material, and the first and second materials may be different.

After forming the hole in the second conductive layer, the first and second conductive layers may be patterned so that portions of the first and second conductive layers surrounding portions of the first conductive layer exposed through the hole are removed while maintaining portions of the first conductive layer previously exposed through the hole.

A second insulating layer is formed on a first insulating layer. A plurality of stacks each including a bit line and a bit line mask are formed on the second insulating layer. A third insulating layer is formed overlying the second insulating layer to fill gaps between the plurality of stacks. A hard mask layer is formed on the third insulating layer. A photoresist pattern is formed on the hard mask layer. The photoresist pattern has an opening region that intersects the plurality of stacks. The hard mask layer and the third insulating layer are sequentially etched, using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask, thereby forming a hard mask pattern and forming a recess in the third insulating layer. The recess exposes a portion of upper sidewalls of the bit line mask. Spacers are formed on the exposed upper sidewalls of the bit line mask.
