Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device using double SPT process, which is capable of implementing a line and space pattern having a uniform fine line width by applying a double SPT process including a negative SPT process, is provided. The method includes a first SPT process and a second SPT process and the second SPT process includes a Negative SPT process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a second layer over a first layer; forming a partition pattern over the second layer; forming first spacers over sidewalls of the partition pattern; forming a first gap-fill layer filling between the first spacers; removing the first spacers; etching the second layer using the partition pattern and the first gap-fill layer as an etch mask to form a first pa…
