ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a pattern in a semiconductor device includes forming an etch-target layer over a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a first region having a smaller pattern than the first region, forming a sacrificial layer and a passivation layer over the etch-target layer, etching the passivation layer and the sacrificial layer to form stack structures including a sacrificial pattern and a passivation pattern, forming spacers over sidewalls of the stack structures, forming a mask pattern covering the second region, removing a portion of the passivation pattern in the first region exposed by the mask pattern to expose a portion of the sacrificial pattern in the first region, removing the exposed portion of the sacrificial pattern in the first region, and etching the etch-target layer to form an etch-target pattern using the spacers in the first and second regions and the stack structure formed between the spacers in the second region.
