    摘要: A method of forming hard mask employs a double patterning technique. A first hard mask layer is formed on a substrate, and a first sacrificial pattern is formed on the first hard mask layer by photolithography. Features of the first sacrificial pattern are spaced from one another by a first pitch. A second hard mask layer is then formed conformally on the first sacrificial pattern and the first hard mask layer so as to delimit recesses between adjacent features of the first sacrificial pattern. Upper portions of the second hard mask layer are removed to expose the first sacrificial pattern, and the exposed first sacrificial pattern and the second sacrificial pattern are removed. The second hard mask layer and the first hard mask layer are then etched to form a hard mask composed of residual portions of the first hard mask layer and the second hard mask layer. A fine pattern of a semiconductor device, such as a trench isolation region or a pattern of contact holes, can be formed using the hard mask as an etch mask.

    摘要: A method of forming fine patterns on a semiconductor substrate includes forming a first pattern, including first line patterns having a feature size F and an arbitrary pitch P, and forming a second pattern, including second line patterns disposed between adjacent first line patterns, to form a fine pattern having a half pitch P/2, the first and second line patterns being repeated in the first direction. A gap is formed in at least one first line pattern in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, to connect second line patterns positioned on each side of the first line pattern through the gap. At least one jog pattern, extending in the first direction, is formed from at least one first line pattern adjacent to the connected second line patterns. The jog pattern causes a gap in at least one of the connected second line patterns in the second direction.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a mask includes designing a first mask data pattern, designing a second mask data pattern for forming the first mask data pattern, acquiring a first emulation pattern, which is predicted from the second mask data pattern, using layout-based Self-Aligning Double Patterning (SADP) emulation, comparing the first emulation pattern with the first mask data pattern, and modifying the second mask data pattern according to results of the comparison. The method further includes performing Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) on the modified second mask data pattern, acquiring second emulation patterns, which are predicted from the second mask data pattern on which the OPC has been performed, using image-based SADP emulation, and comparing the second emulation patterns and the first mask data pattern and manufacturing a first mask layer, which corresponds to the second mask data pattern on which the OPC has been performed, according to the results of the comparison.
