A swizzle pattern generator is provided to reduce an overhead due to execution of a swizzle instruction in vector processing. The swizzle pattern generator is configured to provide swizzle patterns with respect to data sets of at least one vector register or vector processing unit. The swizzle pattern generator may be reconfigurable to generate various swizzle patterns for different vector operations.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices. A gate trench and an insulation pattern defined by the gate trench are formed on a substrate and the protection pattern is formed on the insulation pattern. A gate dielectric layer, a work function metal layer and a sacrificial layer are sequentially formed the substrate along a surface profile of the gate trench. A sacrificial pattern is formed by a CMP while not exposing the insulation pattern. A residual sacrificial pattern is formed at a lower portion of the gate trench and the gate dielectric layer and the work function metal layer is etched into a gate dielectric pattern and a work function metal pattern using the residual sacrificial pattern as an etch stop layer.

A cleaning apparatus includes a gas supply line and a cleaning liquid supply line. A nozzle is connected to the gas and the cleaning liquid supply lines. The nozzle applies the cleaning liquid to a substrate. A gas entrance port at a top of a body of the nozzle is connected to the gas supply line. A first cleaning liquid entrance port is disposed on a sidewall of the nozzle body and is connected to the cleaning liquid supply line. A fluid injection port is disposed at a bottom of the nozzle body and discharges both the gas and the cleaning liquid. An internal passage of the nozzle body connects each of the gas entrance port and the first cleaning liquid entrance port to the fluid injection port. The fluid injection port has a diameter that is greater than a diameter of the first cleaning liquid entrance port.

Semiconductor devices may include a semiconductor substrate with a first semiconductor fin aligned end-to-end with a second semiconductor with a recess between facing ends of the first and second semiconductor fins. A first insulator pattern is formed adjacent sidewalls of the first and second semiconductor fins and a second insulator pattern is formed within the first recess. The second insulator pattern may have a top surface higher than a top surface of the first insulator pattern, such as to the height of the top surface of the fins (or higher or lower). First and second gates extend along sidewalls and a top surface of the first semiconductor fin. A dummy gate electrode may be formed on the top surface of the second insulator. Methods for manufacture of the same and modifications are also disclosed.
摘要:
Semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating semiconductor devices are provided. The methods may include forming an interlayer insulation layer on a substrate. The interlayer insulation layer may surround a dummy silicon gate and may expose a top surface of the dummy silicon gate. The methods may also include recessing a portion of the interlayer insulation layer such that a portion of the dummy silicon gate protrudes above a top surface of the recessed interlayer insulation layer and forming an etch stop layer on the recessed interlayer insulation layer. A top surface of the etch stop layer may be coplanarly positioned with the top surface of the dummy silicon gate. The methods may further include forming a trench exposing the substrate by removing the dummy silicon gate using the etch stop layer as a mask.
