The semiconductor patterns may be formed on a substrate, and may be spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate and may overlap in the vertical direction. The gate structure may be formed on the substrate and the semiconductor patterns. At least portion of the gate structure may be formed vertically between the semiconductor patterns. The first spacer may cover opposite sidewalls of the gate structure, the sidewalls opposite to each other in a first direction. The first semiconductor layer may cover the sidewalls of the semiconductor patterns in the first direction, and surfaces of the first spacer and the substrate. The first semiconductor layer may have a first concentration of impurities. The second semiconductor layer may be formed on the first semiconductor layer, and may have a second concentration of impurities different from the first concentration of impurities.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a fin-type active region extending longitudinally in a first lateral direction on a substrate. A nanosheet is apart from a fin top surface of the fin-type active region in a vertical direction. An inner insulating spacer is between the substrate and the nanosheet. A gate line includes a main gate portion and a sub-gate portion. The main gate portion extends longitudinally in a second lateral direction on the nanosheet. The sub-gate portion is integrally connected to the main gate portion and between the substrate and the nanosheet. A source/drain region is in contact with the inner insulating spacer and the nanosheet. The source/drain region includes a single crystalline semiconductor body and at least one lower stacking fault surface linearly extending from the inner insulating spacer through the single crystalline semiconductor body.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. The methods may implanting dopants into a substrate to form a preliminary impurity region and heating the substrate to convert the preliminary impurity region into an impurity region. Heating the substrate may be performed at an ambient temperature of from about 800° C. to about 950° C. for from about 20 min to about 50 min. The method may also include forming first and second trenches in the impurity region to define an active tin and forming a first isolation layer and a second isolation layer in the first and second trenches, respectively. The first and second isolation layers may expose opposing sides of the active fin. The method may further include forming a gate insulation layer extending on the opposing sides and an upper surface of the active fin and forming a gate electrode traversing the active fin.
