Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. In the present invention, after the formation of a photo-resist mask on a substrate, the photo-resist is subjected to a plasma pre-treatment, and then etch is conducted. With the plasma pre-treatment, a line width roughness of a linear pattern of the photo-resist can be improved, and thus much better linear patterns can be formed on the substrate during the subsequent etching steps.
