According to one embodiment, a pattern including first and second block phases is formed by self-assembling a block copolymer onto a film to be processed. The entire block copolymer present in a first region is removed under a first condition by carrying out energy beam irradiation and development, thereby leaving a pattern including the first and second block phases in a region other than the first region. The first block phase present in a second region is selectively removed under a second condition by carrying out energy beam irradiation and development, thereby leaving a pattern including the first and second block phases in an overlap region between a region other than the first region and a region other than the second region, and leaving a pattern of second block phase in the second region excluding the overlap region. The film is etched with the left patterns as masks.

A method of forming a contact hole on a substrate by using a projection aligner comprising a lighting system including a light source, an aperture, and a condenser lens, a photo mask on which light from the lighting system is incident, and a projection lens for projecting the light from the photo mask onto the substrate, comprises forming a first photosensitive resist film on the substrate; exposing the first photosensitive resist film by using a photo mask in which mask patterns are cyclically arranged in a first direction and a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and a first aperture having light transmission parts arranged symmetrically with respect to a center point in the first direction; developing the exposed first photosensitive resist film to form first lines and linear spaces; forming a second photosensitive resist film on the substrate; exposing the second photosensitive resist film by using the photo mask and a second aperture having light transmission parts arranged symmetrically with respect to a center point in the second direction; and developing the second photosensitive resist film to form second lines and linear spaces which are orthogonal to the first lines and linear spaces.

A transmitting photomask includes an optically transparent substrate having a major surface on which a plurality of recesses are selectively formed and transmitting exposure light, a plurality of opaque materials formed on the portions of the major surface of the transparent substrate, other than the recesses and preventing the exposure light from passing therethrough, and a plurality of transmitting portions constituted of the recesses. Each of the recesses has side walls formed perpendicular to the major surface of the transparent substrate so as to substantially coincide with a corresponding end face of each of the opaque materials, and adjacent transmitting portions have different depths. A method of manufacturing a transmitting photomask, includes a step of forming an opaque film preventing exposure light from passing therethrough on an optically transparent substrate transmitting the exposure light, a step of forming a plurality of opening patterns for forming a transmitting portion on the opaque film and thus forming a plurality of opaque materials with remaining portions of the opaque film, and a step of forming a plurality of transmitting portions including recesses having different depths alternately by etching the transparent substrate through the opening patterns by use of anisotropic etching.
