ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor device includes forming an insulation layer over a substrate, forming a hard mask pattern over the insulation layer, forming a first contact hole by partially etching the insulation layer, forming a spacer on sidewalls of the first contact hole, forming a second contact hole to expose the substrate by etching the remaining insulation layer within the first contact hole, forming a third contact hole by horizontally etching the second contact hole, wherein a line width of the third contact hole is wider than that of the first contact hole, and removing the hard mask pattern and the spacer.
