Abstract:
In a semiconductor device and a method of making the same, the semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a first region and a second region. At least one first gate structure is on the substrate in the first region, the at least one first gate structure including a first gate insulating layer and a first gate electrode layer on the first gate insulating layer. At least one isolating structure is in the substrate in the second region, a top surface of the isolating structure being lower in height than a top surface of the substrate. At least one resistor pattern is on the at least one isolating structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed are non-volatile memory devices and methods of manufacturing the same. The non-volatile memory device includes device isolation patterns defining active portions in a substrate and gate structures disposed on the substrate. The active portions are spaced apart from each other in a first direction and extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The gate structures are spaced apart from each other in the second direction and extend in the first direction. Each of the device isolation patterns includes a first air gap, and each of a top surface and a bottom surface of the first air gap has a wave-shape in a cross-sectional view taken along the second direction.
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a contact mold layer on a substrate; forming an interconnection mold layer on the contact mold layer that includes a material having an etching selectivity with respect to the contact mold layer; forming grooves in the interconnection mold layer that extend in a first direction and expose the contact mold layer; forming holes in the contact mold layer connected to the grooves by etching a part of the contact mold layer exposed by the groove; and forming contact portions in the holes and interconnections in the groove. A diffusion coefficient of mobile atoms in the contact mold layer is greater than a diffusion coefficient of mobile atoms in a nitride.

Abstract:
A vertical NAND-type memory device includes a vertical stack of inter-gate insulating layers and gate electrodes arranged in an alternating sequence on an underlying substrate, which includes a cell array region and a contact region therein. At least one NAND-type channel structure is provided, which extends vertically through the vertical stack of inter-gate insulating layers and gate electrodes. An end sidewall of a first of the gate electrodes, which extends laterally over at least a portion of the contact region, has a vertical slope that is less steep than vertical slopes of end sidewalls of a first plurality of the gate electrodes extending between the first of the gate electrodes and the substrate.
Abstract:
A vertically integrated circuit device can include a substrate having a first region reserved for first functional circuits of the vertically integrated circuit device, where the first functional circuits has a substantially constant top surface level across the first region and having a second region reserved for second functional circuits of the vertically integrated circuit device and spaced apart from the first region. The second functional circuits can have a varied top surface level across the second region. A doped oxidation suppressing material can be included in the substrate and can extend from the first region to the second region at an interface of the substrate with the first functional circuits and the second functional circuits, respectively.

Abstract:
Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby are provided. Two photolithography processes and two spacer processes are performed to provide final patterns that have a pitch that is smaller than a limitation of photolithography process. Furthermore, since initial patterns are formed to have line and pad portions simultaneously by performing a first photolithography process, there is no necessity to perform an additional photolithography process for forming the pad portion.
