    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a substrate including a cell region and a core/peripheral region. A plurality of bit line structures may be in the cell region of the substrate. A gate structure may be in the core/peripheral regions of the substrate. A lower contact plug and an upper contact plug may be between the bit line structures. The lower contact plug and the upper contact plug may be stacked in a vertical direction. A landing pad pattern may contact an upper sidewall of the upper contact plug. The landing pad pattern may be between an upper portion of the upper contact plug and an upper portion of one of the bit line structures. An upper surface of the landing pad pattern may be higher than an upper surface of each of the bit line structures. A peripheral contact plug may be formed in the core/peripheral regions of the substrate. A wiring may be electrically connected to an upper surface of the peripheral contact plug.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a gate structure, first and second source/drain layers, first and second contact plugs, first and second conductive structures, and a third contact plug. The gate structure may be on a substrate. The first and second source/drain layers may be at upper portions, respectively, of the substrate on opposite sidewalls of the gate structure and adjacent thereto. The first and second contact plugs may be on the first and second source/drain layers, respectively, and each contact plugs may extend in a vertical direction. The first and second conductive structures may contact upper surfaces of the first and second contact plugs, respectively. The third contact plug may contact an upper surface of the second conductive structure. A height and a width of the second conductive structure may be greater than a height and a width of the first conductive structure.

    Abstract: Inventive concepts provide a method of inspecting a semiconductor device including obtaining inspection image data of an inspection pattern of an inspection layer on a substrate. The method may include extracting inspection contour data including an inspection pattern contour from the inspection image data, and merging the inspection contour data with comparison contour data of a comparison layer to obtain merged data. The comparison layer may overlap the inspection layer. The method may also include determining a horizontal distance between the inspection pattern contour and a comparison pattern contour of the comparison contour data based on the merged data.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mask may include identifying an error pattern of final patterns formed on a substrate, correcting a first target pattern on the basis of the error pattern, fracturing a first mask layout into a plurality of first segments on the basis of the corrected first target pattern, and correcting the first mask layout by biasing a plurality of first target segments corresponding to a first final target among the plurality of segments. The first mask layout may include a first extension pattern, final targets disposed in zigzags, and the first final target corresponding to the error pattern, and each of the plurality of first segments may corresponds to one of the final targets.
