Method of forming a template, and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the template

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using a template on which a pattern is formed beforehand is disclosed. An error between a position of the pattern formed on the template and a reference position where the pattern is to be formed is obtained. An outer shape of the template is processed in accordance with the obtained error. The error of the template is corrected by distorting the template through application of pressure to a side face of the template whose outer shape is processed. The pattern is transferred onto a transfer layer formed on a semiconductor substrate by using the template in which the error is corrected.
