Abstract

Disclosed is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method comprises stacking an etching target layer, a first mask layer, an under layer, and a photoresist layer on a substrate, irradiating extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation on the photoresist layer to form a photoresist pattern, and performing a nitrogen plasma treatment on the photoresist pattern while using the first mask layer as an etching stop layer, the performing continuing until a top surface of the first mask layer is exposed. During the performing, the under layer is etched to form an under pattern below the photoresist pattern.
