Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of word lines vertically formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, where each pair of the plurality of word lines form a set of word lines, a bit line formed parallel to the surface of the semiconductor substrate and disposed in plurality stacked between the word lines of each pair constituting the one set of word lines, and unit memory cells disposed between respective ones of the bit lines and an adjacent one of the pair of word lines of said one of the word line sets.
Abstract:
A reactive cyclodextrin derivative or a reactive glucose derivative is used as a template derivative for forming an ultra-low dielectric layer. A layer is formed of the reactive cyclodextrin derivative or the reactive glucose derivative capped with Si—H and then cured in an atmosphere of hydrogen peroxide to form the ultra-low dielectric layer.

Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a conductive layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A surface of the conductive layer is then treated by plasma. After the conductive layer is treated, an amorphous carbon layer for a hard mask is formed on the surface of the conductive layer that has been treated by the plasma.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for forming contacts of a semiconductor device. In accordance with the invention, an oxidized silicon-rich nitride film is used as an etch barrier film for a self-aligned contact (SAC) process. Accordingly, the oxidized silicon-rich nitride film exhibits less stress, as compared to an LPCVD nitride film, thereby being capable of avoiding a degradation in the characteristics of the devices finally produced or distortion of the wafer used. There is no formation of cracks occurring in the nitride film during a subsequent thermal process. It is also unnecessary to conduct an additional reflection preventing process. Accordingly, the entire process is simplified. It is also possible to improve a decrease in the operating speed of the devices due to a parasitic capacitance existing among conductive lines because the oxidized silicon-rich nitride film has a low dielectric constant, as compared to nitride films. No damage occurs in the oxidized silicon-rich nitride film, so that it is possible to prevent the substrate from being damaged.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a phase change memory device is provided. A first insulating layer having a plurality of metal word lines spaced apart at a constant distance is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of line structures having a barrier metal layer, a polysilicon layer and a hard mask layer are formed to be overlaid on the plurality of metal word lines. A second insulating layer is formed between the line structures. Cross patterns are formed by etching the hard mask layers and the polysilicon layers of the line structures using mask patterns crossed with the metal word lines. A third insulating layer is buried within spaces between the cross patterns. Self-aligned phase change contact holes are formed and at the same time, diode patterns formed of remnant polysilicon layers are formed by selectively removing the hard mask layers constituting the cross patterns.

Abstract:
A method for forming a high quality insulation layer on a semiconductor device is presented. The method includes a first step of supplying any one of a silicon source gas and an oxygen source gas into a process chamber in which a semiconductor substrate is placed; a second step of simultaneously supplying the silicon source gas and the oxygen source gas into the process chamber having undergone the first step and depositing a silicon oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate; and a third step of supplying any one of the silicon source gas and the oxygen source gas into the process chamber having undergone the second step.

A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a trench, a buried gate filling a part of the trench, an inter-layer dielectric layer formed on the buried gate to gap-fill the rest of the trench, and a protection layer covering substantially an entire surface of the substrate including the inter-layer dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that can prevent the loss of an isolation structure and that can also stably form epi-silicon layers is described. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes defining trenches in a semiconductor substrate having active regions and isolation regions. The trenches are partially filled with a first insulation layer. An etch protection layer is formed on the surfaces of the trenches that are filled with the first insulation layer. A second insulation layer is filled in the trenches formed with the etch protection layer to form an isolation structure in the isolation regions of the semiconductor substrate. Finally, portions of the active regions of the semiconductor substrate are recessed such that the isolation structure has a height higher than the active regions of the semiconductor substrate.
