In general, a semiconductor device includes a plurality of unit cells therein. As semiconductor devices are highly integrated, semiconductor devices must be formed at a high density on a predetermined cell area. As a result, the size of unit devices such as transistors and capacitors is gradually reduced. In particular, in semiconductor memory devices such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), as the design rule is reduced, the size of semiconductor devices formed inside the cell is gradually decreasing.
As the semiconductor device becomes more integrated, the cell pattern becomes denser, which increases the difference in etching bias between the isolation pattern of the cell region and the dense pattern of the peripheral circuit region. This deterioration problem occurs.

In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the related art described above, when the threshold of the dense pattern of the cell region is reduced by 1 nm, the isolation pattern of the peripheral circuit region is further reduced by 1.5 to 3 times. Phenomenon occurs. At this time, in order to simultaneously adjust the pattern threshold of the cell region and the peripheral circuit region, the threshold of the cell region should be increased during the exposure process for forming the gate pattern, which is caused by a pattern bridge due to lack of process margin. There is a problem that the characteristics of the device is deteriorated.
In order to solve the above problem, after the anti-reflection film is etched, the cell region is applied by applying a trimming process of isotropically etching the photoresist pattern by mixing a low pressure of 1.5 mT or less and O2, HBr and Ar gas in a ratio of 1: 4: 7.
