Abstract

According to example embodiments, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming an etching target layer on a substrate; forming a first photoresist layer on the etching target layer; forming a first alignment key under the first photoresist layer and a first alignment pattern aligned in a first direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate, by exposing and developing the first photoresist layer; forming a second alignment key under the first photoresist layer and a second alignment pattern aligned in the first direction, by exposing and developing the first photoresist layer; and forming a third alignment key aligned with the first alignment key in the first direction under the first photoresist layer and a fourth alignment key aligned with the second alignment key in the first direction on the etching target layer based on the first and second alignment patterns.
