The semiconductor device disclosed has semiconductor patterns as elements constituting a semiconductor device on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor patterns are formed respectively on a first region and a second region on the semiconductor substrate. Between the first region and the second region, there is a stepped portion which is set such that a value S of the step is S=m lambda /2n wherein lambda is a wavelength of the photosensitive illuminating light used in a photolithography process for patterning a photoresist film, m is a positive integer, and n is a refractive index of the photoresist film. The provision of the stepped portion enables the formation of semiconductor element patterns of fine sizes with controllability thereof. |
