ABSTRACT:
In a method of forming a circuit pattern including fine pattern features and fine space, a hard mask layer is patterned with a first pattern defined by eliminating the fine space for merging the pattern features. Thereafter the hard mask layer is shrank. Next, the hard mask layer is patterned with a second pattern that is defined on the basis of the fine space. Finally, the circuit pattern is formed in an underlying layer using the hard mask layer as a mask.
