Abstract

The disclosure relates to methods of fabricating semiconductor devices. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is provided as follows. A target layer is formed. A hard mask layer is formed on the target layer. The hard mask layer is patterned to form an overlay mask pattern including a first mask pattern and a plateau-shaped mask pattern. The first mask pattern encloses the plateau-shaped mask pattern. The first mask pattern is spaced apart from the plateau-shaped mask pattern. The target layer is patterned using the overlay mask pattern to form a redundant fin and a plateau-shaped overlay mark. The redundant fin is removed.
