Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a first interlayer insulating layer including a first trench, on a substrate a first liner layer formed along a side wall and a bottom surface of the first trench and including noble metal, the noble metal belonging to one of a fifth period and a sixth period of a periodic chart that follows numbering of International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and belonging to one of eighth to tenth groups of the periodic chart, and a first metal wire filling the first trench on the first liner layer, a top surface of the first metal wire having a convex shape toward a bottom surface of the first trench.
Abstract:
In a method of forming a wiring structure, a lower structure is formed on a substrate. An insulating interlayer is formed on the lower structure. The insulating interlayer is partially removed to form at least one via hole and a dummy via hole. An upper portion of the insulating interlayer is partially removed to form a trench connecting the via hole and the dummy via hole. A first metal layer filling the via hole and the dummy via hole is formed. A second metal layer filling the trench is formed on the first metal layer.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include: forming an interlayer insulating layer having openings on a substrate; forming a metal layer in the openings and on the interlayer insulating layer, the metal layer including a sidewall portion on a sidewall of each of the openings and a bottom portion on a bottom surface of each of the openings, wherein the bottom portion is thicker than the sidewall portion; reflowing the metal layer to form metal patterns in the openings, the metal patterns having top surfaces at a level lower than a topmost surface of the interlayer insulating layer; and/or forming capping patterns covering the metal patterns in the openings.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first fin on a substrate, a first gate electrode formed on the substrate to intersect the first fin, a first elevated source/drain on the first fin on both sides of the first gate electrode, and a first metal alloy layer on an upper surface and sidewall of the first elevated source/drain.
