Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes following steps. First of all, a substrate is provided, and a stacked structure is formed on the substrate. Then, a patterned silicon-containing mask layer is formed on the stacked structure, and the stacked structure is partially removed through the patterned silicon-containing mask layer, to form plural openings in the stacked structure. Following these, a bromine covering process is performed, to form a bromide layer on a portion of the patterned silicon-containing mask layer, and a bromide sublimation process is then performed, to completely remove the bromide layer.
