ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a fine pattern in a semiconductor device removes roughness from a pattern produced in a fine pattern fabrication process using a silylation process as being one kind of a TSI process, eliminates smoothly a photosensitive film residue caused by a residue silylation layer remained on a-non-pattern area, and increases a margin of a lithography process. To achieve the foregoing, the method performs an etching process with a fluorine/oxygen mixture gas so as to remove a thin oxide film being formed on the non-pattern area after a silylation process, enables an edge portion of a silylation region to be planarized so as to prevent the pattern from becoming rough, and forms a photosensitive film pattern by developing the photosensitive film with oxygen plasma. Thereafter, the photosensitive film residue is etched again with a mixture gas of fluorine/oxygen, thereby increasing a fabrication margin of the fine pattern.
