Abstract:
A semiconductor device including: a conductor disposed on a substrate; a first contact disposed on the conductor; a second contact having a first portion disposed on the first contact and a second portion protruded away from the first portion in a direction parallel to the substrate, wherein the first and second contacts are disposed in an insulating layer; a via disposed on the insulating layer and the second portion of the second contact; and a metal line disposed on the via.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming first trenches that define active patterns extending in a first direction on a substrate, forming first insulating layers filling the first trenches, forming first mask patterns extending in the first direction while having a first width along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, forming a second mask pattern extending in the first direction while having a second width along the second direction, and forming a second trench that partly defines an active region by executing a first etching process that etches the active patterns and the first insulating layer using the first mask patterns and the second mask pattern.
Abstract:
A system-on-chip device may include a substrate with an active pattern, a gate electrode crossing the active pattern and extending in a first direction, and a first metal layer electrically connected to the active pattern and the gate electrode. The first metal layer may include a first metal line extending in the first direction and a second metal line spaced apart from the first metal line in the first direction to extend in a second direction crossing the first direction. The first and second metal lines may include first and second sidewalls parallel to the second direction, the first and second sidewalls may face each other, and the first sidewall may have a length that is two or three times a minimum line width.
