Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes pillars extending upright on a substrate in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, a stack disposed on the substrate and constituted by a first interlayer insulating layer, a first conductive layer, a second interlayer insulating layer, and a second conductive layer, a variable resistance layer interposed between the pillars and the first conductive layer, and an insulating layer interposed between the first pillars and the second conductive layer.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device includes a metal film and a complex capping layer covering a top surface of the metal film. The metal film includes a first metal, and penetrates at least a portion of an insulating film formed over a substrate. The complex capping layer includes a conductive alloy capping layer covering the top surface of the metal film, and an insulating capping layer covering a top surface of the conductive alloy capping layer and a top surface of the insulating film. The conductive alloy capping layer includes a semiconductor element and a second metal different from the first metal. The insulating capping layer includes a third metal.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a lower wiring structure including a lower metal film. The lower wiring structure penetrates at least a portion of a first insulating film disposed over a substrate. The IC device further includes a capping layer covering a top surface of the lower metal film, a second insulating film covering the capping layer, an upper wiring structure penetrating the second insulating film and the capping layer, and electrically connected to the lower metal film, and an air gap disposed between the lower metal film and the second insulating film. The air gap has a width defined by a distance between the capping layer and the upper wiring structure.
