Abstract

A method of forming patterns may use an organic reflection-preventing film including a polymer having an acid-liable group. A photoresist film is formed on the organic reflection-preventing film. A first area selected from the photoresist film is exposed to generate an acid in the first area. Hydrophilicity of a first surface of the organic reflection-preventing film facing the first area of the photoresist film may be increased. The photoresist film including the exposed first area is developed to remove a non-exposed area of the photoresist film. The organic reflection-preventing film and a target layer are anisotropically etched by using the first area of the photoresist film as an etch mask.
