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.

The length may be greater than the width, and the plurality of active regions may be provided in a plurality of columns in the direction of the second axis. A plurality of wordline pairs may be provided on the substrate, with each wordline pair crossing active regions of a respective column of active regions defining a drain portion of each active region between wordlines of the respective wordline pair. A plurality of bitlines on the substrate may cross the plurality of wordline pairs, with each bitline being electrically coupled to a drain portion of a respective active region of each column, and with each bitline crossing drain portions of active regions of adjacent columns in different directions so that different portions of a same bitline are aligned in different directions on different active regions of adjacent columns.

A semiconductor memory device may include a semiconductor substrate having an active region thereof, and the active region may have a length and a width, with the length being greater than the width. A field isolation layer may be on the semiconductor substrate surrounding the active region. First and second wordlines may be on the substrate crossing the active region, with the first and second wordlines defining a drain portion of the active region between the first and second wordlines and first and second source portions of the active region at opposite ends of the active region. First and second memory storage elements may be respectively coupled to the first and second source portions of the active region, with the first and second wordlines being between portions of the respective first and second memory storage elements and the active region in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the substrate.

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.

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.
