A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes step of forming a lower resist film over an insulating interlayer; forming a first opening having a circular geometry in a plan view, and second to fifth openings arranged respectively on four sides of the first opening, in the lower resist film; and etching the film-to-be-etched while using the lower resist film as a mask, wherein in the step of etching the film-to-be-etched, a hardened layer is formed in a region of the lower resist film fallen between the first opening and each of the second to fifth openings, and the film-to-be-etched is etched while using the hardened layers as a mask, so as to form a contact hole having a rectangular geometry in a plan view in the film-to-be-etched at a position correspondent to the first opening of the lower resist film.
