Abstract

A method of manufacturing a flash memory device includes providing a substrate having an insulating layer, a first mask layer over the insulating layer, a second mask layer over the first mask layer, a first photoresist pattern over the second mask layer, the first photoresist pattern having a first pitch. A material layer is provided over the first photoresist pattern. The material layer is etched to convert the material layer into a material layer pattern having a second pitch that is less than the first pitch. The second hard mask layer is etched using the material layer pattern to form a second hard mask layer pattern that extends along a first direction. A second photoresist pattern is etched, the second photoresist pattern defining a first region that is not exposed and a second region that is exposed, the second region extending along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The first hard mask layer is etched using the second photoresist pattern to form a first hard mask layer pattern having an angular shape.
