ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes: forming a core material on a workpiece; forming a coating film comprising an amorphous material so as to cover an upper surface and side faces of the core material; crystallizing the coating film by applying heat treatment; forming a sidewall mask by removing the crystallized coating film while leaving a portion thereof located on the side faces of the core material; removing the core material after forming the sidewall mask; and etching the workpiece using the sidewall mask as a mask after removing the core material.
