Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to peninsula manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device.
Recently, as semiconductor devices have been highly integrated, lines and spaces of 40 nm or less (hereinafter, referred to as LS) are required. However, it is very difficult to form 'LS' of 60 nm or less due to the limitations of the exposure equipment currently developed and commercialized.
Accordingly, in order to realize fine 'LS' of 60 nm or less while using commercially available exposure equipment as it is, a double patterning technology (DPT) and a spacer patterning technology (hereinafter referred to as SPT) processes are performed. Proposed.
1A to 1H are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of the SPT according to the prior art. 1A to 1H, 'A' is a cell region in which a cell is to be formed, and 'B' is a region showing a part of a peripheral circuit region, and specifically, a pad region in which a pad is to be formed is illustrated.

However, in the method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device applying the SPT process according to the prior art, as shown in FIGS. 1E to 1G, a spion carbon film, an amorphous carbon film, and a polysilicon film are etched, which is difficult to combine the etching gas. Since a fine pattern must be formed, an etching process must be performed several times using an ex-situ process. As a result, the process is somewhat complicated, and the production cost increases.
Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, which can simplify the process and lower the manufacturing cost.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a first hard mask, an etch wall layer, and a second hard material made of the same material as the first hard mask are formed on a substrate including a cell region and a pad region and having an etched layer formed thereon.

A step of sequentially etching a third hard mask, the second hard mask pattern, the etch barrier layer, the first hard mask, and the etched layer in-situ A method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device including a system is provided.
