    Abstract: Provided are methods of fabricating flash memory devices that may prevent a short circuit from occurring between cell gate lines. Methods of fabricating such flash memory devices may include forming gate lines including a series of multiple cell gate lines and multiple selection gate lines. Each gate line may include a stacked structure of a tunnel insulating layer, a floating gate, a gate insulating layer, and/or a polysilicon layer operable to be a control gate, all formed on a semiconductor substrate. Methods may include forming a first insulating layer that selectively fills gaps between the cell gate lines from the bottom up and between adjacent ones of the cell gate lines and the selection gate lines, and does not fill a space located on outer sides of the selection gate lines that are opposite the plurality of cell gate lines. A spacer may be formed on the outer sides of the selection gate lines that are opposite to the cell gate lines, after forming the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer may be formed in a space where the spacer is formed.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for fabricating semiconductor devices incorporating a composite trench isolation structure comprising a first oxide pattern, a SOG pattern and a second oxide pattern wherein the oxide patterns enclose the SOG pattern. The methods include the deposition of a first oxide layer and a SOG layer to fill recessed trench regions formed in the substrate. The first oxide layer and the SOG layer are then subjected to a planarization sequence including a CMP process followed by an etchback process to form a composite structure having a substantially flat upper surface that exposes both the oxide and the SOG material. The second oxide layer is then applied and subjected to a similar CMP/etchback sequence to obtain a composite structure having an upper surface that is recessed relative to a plane defined by the surfaces of adjacent active regions.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate includes trenches defining active regions. The semiconductor device further includes lower and upper device isolation patterns disposed in the trenches. An intergate insulation pattern and a control gate electrode are disposed on the semiconductor substrate to cross over the active regions. A charge storage electrode is between the control gate electrode and the active regions. A gate insulation pattern is between the charge storage electrode and the active regions, and the intergate insulation pattern directly contacts the upper device isolation pattern between the active regions.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a lower device on a lower semiconductor substrate, and forming an interlayer insulating film on the lower device. An upper semiconductor substrate is formed on the interlayer insulating film such that the interlayer insulating film is between the lower and upper semiconductor substrates. Upper trenches are formed within the upper semiconductor substrate. An upper device isolating film is formed within the upper trenches. The upper device isolating film is irradiated with ultraviolet light having a wavelength configured to break chemical bonds of impurities in the upper device isolating film to reduce an impurity concentration thereof.
