Abstract

A method for forming a pattern of a semiconductor device is provided. Specifically, in a method for manufacturing a NAND flash memory device using a spacer patterning process, a dummy pattern, which is not used in an actual device operation, is additionally formed in a peripheral circuit region when a photoresist pattern for forming a string pattern is formed in a cell region. As a result, the edge photoresist pattern is prevented from being bent, and a critical dimension difference between the center region and the edge region of the photoresist pattern is not generated, thereby improving a margin of DOF to obtain a reliable semiconductor device.
