ABSTRACT:
A method for forming resist patterns having two photoresist layers and an intermediate layer involves coating a primary photoresist film having a small thickness over an under layer, and exposing the primary photoresist film to light using a mask. Then, the primary photoresist film is developed, thereby forming a primary photoresist film pattern. An intermediate layer is formed over the entire exposed surface of a resulting structure, the intermediate layer being made of a spin on glass or plasma enhancement oxide. A secondary photoresist film is coated over the intermediate layer. The secondary photoresist film is exposed to light using the same mask as used for the primary photoresist film, and is developed to form a secondary photoresist pattern. A portion of the intermediate layer exposed through the secondary photoresist pattern is etched, forming a secondary photoresist pattern completely overlapping with the primary photoresist pattern so that the resulting resist pattern has a vertical profile.
