Abstract

A method of forming a patterned hark mask layer includes the following steps. A semiconductor substrate is provided. An amorphous silicon layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. An implantation process is performed on the amorphous silicon layer. An annealing treatment is performed on the amorphous silicon layer after the implantation process. A patterned hard mask layer is formed on the amorphous silicon layer after the annealing treatment.
