Methods of forming patterns of semiconductor devices

1. A method of forming patterns of a semiconductor device, comprising:

sequentially forming an object layer and an intermediate layer on a substrate;

forming a plurality of guiding pillars and at least one guiding bar on the intermediate layer, the at least one guiding bar extending in a first direction and having first and second sides opposite to each other in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;

forming a self-aligned layer including a block copolymer in a space between the guiding pillars and the guiding bar, such that first blocks aligned around the guiding pillars and second blocks aligned around the guiding bar are formed, the first blocks facing the first side of the guiding bar, and the second blocks being spaced apart from each other along the first direction between the first side of the guiding bar and the first blocks, wherein a portion of the self-aligned layer excluding the first and second blocks is defined as a third block;

removing the first and second blocks to form first and second holes, respectively, in the self-aligned layer that exposes the intermediate layer;

forming a mask at least partially covering an upper surface of the guiding bar using the second holes as a reference pattern for positioning the mask;

removing the intermediate layer using the mask, the guiding bar, and the third block as an etching mask to form third holes exposing the object layer; and

transferring a shape of the first blocks in the object layer by removing the object layer exposed by the third holes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the self-aligned layer includes forming the first blocks aligned in a grid arrangement and the second blocks arranged linearly along a sidewall of the guiding bar.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising removing the first blocks to form first holes and removing the second blocks to form second holes,

wherein at least one second hole column arranged in a straight line is formed by the second holes.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the mask at least partially covers the second hole column.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein forming the mask includes using the second hole column as a mask.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein transferring the shape of the first blocks in the object layer includes etching the object layer through the first holes to form first contact holes.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein an inner region in which the guiding pillars are included is defined by the guiding bar, and the self-aligned layer is also formed at an outer region of the guiding bar.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first blocks, and the second blocks include polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and the third block includes polystyrene (PS).

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the guiding bar includes a plurality of guiding patterns arranged along a straight line, and

an opening is formed between proximally located ones of the plurality of the guiding patterns.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the opening has a width capable of blocking an entrance of the block copolymer included in the self-aligned layer.

sequentially forming an object layer and an intermediate layer on a substrate;

forming a block copolymer layer including first blocks, second blocks and a third block on the intermediate layer, the first blocks being aligned in a grid arrangement, the second blocks being arranged in a straight line, and the third block being a portion of the block copolymer layer excluding the first and second blocks;

removing the first and second blocks to form first and second holes, respectively, in the block copolymer layer that expose the intermediate layer;

forming a mask on the intermediate layer using the second holes as a reference pattern for positioning the mask;

removing the intermediate layer using the mask and the third block as an etching mask to form third holes exposing the object layer; and

transferring a shape of the first blocks in the object layer by removing the object layer exposed by the third holes.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein forming the first blocks and the second blocks includes:

forming a plurality of guiding pillars and at least one guiding dam bar on the object layer; and

coating the block copolymer in a space between the guiding pillars and the guiding bar to form the first blocks aligned around the guiding pillars and the second blocks aligned around the guiding bar.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein forming the guiding pillars and the guiding bar includes:

forming guide rings and a guide frame on the object layer; and

forming pillars and a bar in the guide rings and the guide frame, respectively.
