Abstract

Provided is a method of forming patterns of a semiconductor device, whereby patterns having various widths can be simultaneously formed, and pattern density can be doubled by a double patterning process in a portion of the semiconductor device. In the method of forming patterns of a semiconductor device, a first mold mask pattern and a second mold mask patter having different widths are formed on a substrate. A pair of first spacers covering both sidewalls of the first mold mask pattern and a pair of second spacers covering both sidewalls of the second mold mask pattern are formed. The first mold mask pattern and the second mold mask pattern are removed, and a wide-width mask pattern covering the second spacer is formed. A lower layer is etched using the first spacers, the second spacers, and the wide-width mask pattern as an etch mask.
