Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes forming a mask layer on a semiconductor structure having a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of intergate insulating portions, forming an opening that exposes a cut region of the plurality of gate lines in the mask layer, forming a separation hole by removing a portion of a gate capping layer exposed by the opening, forming a pyrolysis material pattern in the separation hole, forming an etch stop layer on an upper surface of the mask layer and on a side wall portion of the separation hole from which the pyrolysis material pattern is removed, while the pyrolysis material pattern is decomposed and removed, and removing a portion of the gate electrode exposed by the separation hole using the etch stop layer.
