Abstract

According to one embodiment, there is provided a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a film to be processed on a substrate. The method includes forming a first resist pattern on the film, the first resist pattern having a first stepped structure including a plurality of steps. The method includes forming a second resist pattern on the first resist pattern by use of a template for nanoimprint. The second resist pattern has a second stepped structure, which is arranged corresponding to the first stepped structure and is formed such that a step-up surface extends perpendicularly to a flat surface. The method includes processing the film through the second resist pattern and the first resist pattern.

Claims (23)

1. A template for nanoimprint, comprising:

a pattern face having a stepped structure including a plurality of steps; and

a rear face opposite to the pattern face,

wherein the pattern face includes

a first flat surface,

a first perpendicular surface extending from a first end of the first flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the first flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face,

a second flat surface extending from a first end of the first perpendicular surface, in a first direction along the rear face and with an orientation going away from the first flat surface,

a second perpendicular surface extending from a first end of the second flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the second flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face,

a third flat surface extending from a first end of the second perpendicular surface, in the first direction and with an orientation going away from the second flat surface,

a third perpendicular surface extending from a first end of the third flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the third flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face, and

a fourth flat surface extending from a first end of the third perpendicular surface, in the first direction and with an orientation going away from the third flat surface.

2. The template for nanoimprint according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the direction perpendicular to the first flat surface, a width of the first perpendicular surface, a width of the second perpendicular surface, and a width of the third perpendicular surface are substantially equal to each other.

3. The template for nanoimprint according to claim 1 , wherein

the pattern face further includes

a fourth perpendicular surface extending from a second end of the first flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the first flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face,

a fifth flat surface extending from a first end of the fourth perpendicular surface, in a second direction along the rear face and with an orientation going away from the first flat surface,

a fifth perpendicular surface extending from a first end of the fifth flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the fifth flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face,

a sixth flat surface extending from a first end of the fifth perpendicular surface, in the second direction and with an orientation going away from the fifth flat surface,

a sixth perpendicular surface extending from a first end of the sixth flat surface, in a direction perpendicular to the sixth flat surface and with an orientation going away from the rear face, and

a seventh flat surface extending from a first end of the sixth perpendicular surface, in the second direction and with an orientation going away from the sixth flat surface.

4. The template for nanoimprint according to claim 3 , wherein,

in the direction perpendicular to the first flat surface, a width of the fourth perpendicular surface, a width of the fifth perpendicular surface, and a width of the sixth perpendicular surface are substantially equal to each other.
