    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes gate structures, an insulation layer pattern, and an isolation structure. Multiple gate structures being spaced apart from each other in a first direction are formed on a substrate. Ones of the gate structures extend in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The substrate includes active regions and field regions alternately and repeatedly formed in the second direction. The insulation layer pattern is formed between the gate structures and has a second air gap therein. Each of the isolation structures extending in the first direction and having a first air gap between the gate structures, the insulation layer pattern, and the isolation structure is formed on the substrate in each field region.

    Abstract: A method for separating a layer for transfer includes forming a crack guiding layer on a substrate and forming a device layer on the crack-guiding layer. The crack guiding layer is weakened by exposing the crack-guiding layer to a gas which reduces adherence at interfaces adjacent to the crack guiding layer. A stress inducing layer is formed on the device layer to assist in initiating a crack through the crack guiding layer and/or the interfaces. The device layer is removed from the substrate by propagating the crack.

    Abstract: There is provided a method for applying a lower viscosity coating liquid onto a semiconductor wafer substrate so as to prevent adhesion loss and to maintain low defect level characteristics. This is achieved by priming the substrate with a bonding agent at a temperature in the range of 18° C. to 50° C. for a short amount of time. This is performed prior to the application of a liquid solvent. As a result, there is overcome the problems of poor adhesion to the substrates and high defect levels in the coated UTR films.
