    Abstract: A semiconductor process device includes a housing including a chamber where a substrate is processed, a viewport in a side wall of the housing, an adapter configured to receive reflected light in which light generated from plasma generated inside the chamber is reflected at a target position on a surface of a structure provided on an upper surface of the substrate, a polarization beam splitter configured to separate the reflected light received from the adapter into P-polarized light and S-polarized light, a spectroscope configured to analyze spectra of the P-polarized light and the S-polarized light, and a control unit configured to monitor a thickness of the structure based on luminous intensity over time at one or more wavelengths of each of the P-polarized light and the S-polarized light, based on results of analyzing the spectra.

    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first insulation layer and a first sacrificial layer are alternately and repeatedly formed on a substrate to form a mold layer. A sacrificial layer structure is formed on the mold layer to include an etch stop layer and a second sacrificial layer sequentially stacked. After forming a hard mask on the sacrificial layer structure, the sacrificial layer structure and the mold layer are etched by a dry etching process using the hard mask as an etching mask to form a channel hole exposing an upper surface of the substrate and form a recess on a sidewall of the second sacrificial layer adjacent to the channel hole. A memory channel structure is formed in the channel hole. The first sacrificial layer is replaced with a gate electrode.
