    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate that includes a cell region and a peripheral circuit region, a cell insulating pattern disposed in the cell region of the substrate that defines a cell active region, and a peripheral insulating pattern disposed in the peripheral circuit region of the substrate that defines a peripheral active region. The peripheral insulating pattern includes a first peripheral insulating pattern having a first width and a second peripheral insulating pattern having a second width greater than the first width. A topmost surface of at least one of the first peripheral insulating pattern and the second peripheral insulating pattern is positioned higher than a topmost surface of the cell insulating pattern.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first region and a second region. A device isolation layer is disposed in the substrate between the first region and the second region. The device isolation layer includes a buried dielectric layer in a trench that is recessed from a top surface of the substrate. A first liner layer is between the trench and the buried dielectric layer. A semiconductor layer is disposed on a top surface of the substrate of the first region. A first gate pattern is disposed on the semiconductor layer. A protrusion is disposed on a top surface of the device isolation layer.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device and a semiconductor memory device, the method including providing a substrate that includes a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region; forming a mask pattern that covers the cell array region and exposes the peripheral circuit region; growing a semiconductor layer on the peripheral circuit region exposed by the mask pattern such that the semiconductor layer has a different lattice constant from the substrate; forming a buffer layer that covers the cell array region and exposes the semiconductor layer; forming a conductive layer that covers the buffer layer and the semiconductor layer; and patterning the conductive layer to form conductive lines on the cell array region and to form a gate electrode on the peripheral circuit region.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an alignment key on a substrate. The alignment key includes a first sub-alignment key pattern with a first conductive pattern, a second conductive pattern, and a capping dielectric pattern that are sequentially stacked on the substrate, an alignment key trench that penetrates at least a portion of the first sub-alignment key pattern, and a lower conductive pattern in the alignment key trench. The alignment key trench includes an upper trench that is provided in the capping dielectric pattern that has a first width, and a lower trench that extends downward from the upper trench and that has a second width less than the first width. The lower conductive pattern includes sidewall conductive patterns that are separately disposed on opposite sidewalls of the lower trench.
