Abstract

A method of forming patterns of a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist pattern, which contains a first carbon compound, on a substrate, reforming a top surface of the photoresist pattern to form an upper mask layer which contains a second carbon compound, different from the first carbon compound, on the photoresist pattern, and etching a portion of the substrate using the upper mask layer and the photoresist pattern as an etch mask.
