Abstract

A method of forming a mask pattern, a method of forming a minute pattern, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the same, the method of forming the mask pattern including forming first mask patterns on a substrate; forming first preliminary capping layers on the first mask patterns; irradiating energy to the first preliminary capping patterns to form second preliminary capping layers ionically bonded with the first mask patterns; applying an acid to the second preliminary capping layers to form capping layers; forming a second mask layer between the capping layers, the second mask layer having a solubility lower than that of the capping layers; and removing the capping layers to form second mask patterns.
