A method of forming a micro pattern in a semiconductor device, wherein a first polysilicon film, a buffer oxide film, a second polysilicon film, an anti-polishing film, and a first oxide film are sequentially laminated on a semiconductor substrate having a to-be-etched layer. The first oxide film, the anti-polishing film and the second polysilicon film are patterned. After nitride film spacers are formed on the patterned lateral portions, a second oxide film is formed on the entire structure. A Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process is performed using the anti-polishing film as a stopper. Thereafter, after the nitride film spacers are removed, the second oxide film and the second polysilicon film are removed using a difference in etch selective ratio between the oxide film and the polysilicon film. A hard mask for forming a micro pattern having a structure in which the first polysilicon film and the buffer oxide film are laminated is formed. The to-be-etched layer is etched using the hard mask as an etch barrier.

After rinsing, while rotating a substrate, a front layer part of a rinsing liquid (DIW) adhering to a substrate surface is drained and removed from the substrate surface. This is followed by supply to the substrate surface of a liquid mixture which is obtained by mixing IPA and DIW together. Since a majority of the rinsing liquid on the substrate surface is removed off from the substrate surface, even when micro patterns are formed on the substrate surface, the liquid mixture replaces the liquid component adhering to the gaps between the patterns. Further, the IPA concentration in the liquid mixture supplied to the substrate surface is set to 50% or below. Hence, it is possible to effectively prevent destruction of the patterns while suppressing the consumption amount of

A camouflage system to be used for both military uniforms and equipment. The system includes specialized means of printing the camouflage system unto fabric. The system can also be used for civilian applications, particularly with sportsman hunters. The system provides camouflage in both the human visible light range and the infrared.

The reflectance of the material is comparable to the negative space surrounding a subject so the subject does not appear too dark or too light (out of place). The variation in the lightness between wet and dry is not greater than 17-28%, achieved during the printing process.
