PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming a conductive line of a semiconductor element by which operation characteristics and reliability of the element are improved. SOLUTION: The method includes a stage of forming a photosensitive film pattern defining a conductive line region in an upper part of a semiconductor substrate having a conductive layer and a hard mask layer, a stage of forming a hard mask layer pattern by etching the hard mask layer with the photosensitive film pattern as a mask, a stage of removing the photosensitive film pattern, and a stage of etching the conductive layer with the hard mask layer pattern as a mask. The stages are advanced in-situ. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
