A method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory device comprises: forming a first electrode layer; a variable resistance material layer, a second electrode layer; and a hard mask layer, forming a first resist mask extending in a first direction on the hard mask layer; forming a first hard mask extending in the first direction by etching the hard mask layer using the first resist mask; forming a second resist mask extending in a second direction, on the first hard mask such that the width of the second resist mask is greater than the width of the first resist mask; forming a second hard mask by etching the first hard mask using the second resist mask; and forming a variable resistance element by patterning, by etching the second electrode layer, the variable resistance material layer and the first electrode layer using the second hard mask.
