    摘要: An optical mask for use with an exposure beam includes a mask substrate adapted to be placed on a traveling path of the exposure beam. A reference pattern is formed on the mask substrate. The reference pattern is adapted to direct the exposure beam to travel in a predetermined reference direction. A comparative pattern is formed on the mask substrate. The comparative pattern is adapted to direct the exposure beam to travel in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the reference direction.

A floating gate electrode of the nonvolatile memory device may have a cross-shaped section as taken along a direction extending along a control gate electrode. The floating gate electrode may have an inverse T-shaped section as taken along a direction extending along an active region perpendicular to the control gate electrode. The floating gate electrode may include a lower gate pattern, a middle gate pattern and an upper gate pattern sequentially disposed on a gate insulation layer, in which the middle gate pattern is larger in width than the lower gate pattern and the upper gate pattern. A boundary between the middle gate pattern and the upper gate pattern may have a rounded corner.

    摘要: Provided are a mask pattern including a silicon-containing self-assembled molecular layer, a method of forming the same, and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The mask pattern includes a resist pattern formed on a semiconductor substrate and the self-assembled molecular layer formed on the resist pattern. The self-assembled molecular layer has a silica network formed by a sol-gel reaction. To form the mask pattern, first, the resist pattern is formed with openings on an underlayer covering the substrate to expose the underlayer to a first width. Then, the self-assembled molecular layer is selectively formed only on a surface of the resist pattern to expose the underlayer to a second width smaller than the first width. The underlayer is etched by using the resist pattern and the self-assembled molecular layer as an etching mask to obtain a fine pattern.
