ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a step channel of a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method for forming a step channel of a semiconductor device comprises forming a hard mask layer pattern defining a step channel region on a semiconductor substrate, forming a spacer on a sidewall of the hard mask layer pattern, and simultaneously etching the spacer and a predetermined thickness of the semiconductor substrate using the hard mask layer pattern and the spacer as an etching mask.
