Abstract

A method of forming a pattern of a semiconductor device includes: preparing a semiconductor substrate including a cell region and an outer region; applying a photoresist on the semiconductor substrate; irradiating extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light reflected from an EUV mask, onto the photoresist; forming a photoresist pattern in the cell region and the outer region; and etching the semiconductor substrate, using the photoresist pattern as an etch mask. The EUV mask includes: a plurality of main patterns in a first zone, of the EUV mask, corresponding to the cell region; and a first lane and a second lane in a second zone, of the EUV mask, corresponding to the outer region, wherein the first lane and the second lane surround the plurality of main patterns, wherein the first lane has a line-and-space pattern, and the second lane has a protruding pattern.
