Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a mold structure including a lower support layer and an upper support layer sequentially stacked on a substrate, doping portions of the upper and lower support layers with impurities to divide each of the upper and lower support layers into first portions doped with the impurities and a second portion surrounding the first portions in a plan view, and removing the first portions of the upper and lower support layers to form an upper support pattern having first openings and a lower support pattern having second openings.
Abstract:
Provided are a semiconductor memory device and a method of fabricating the same. The semiconductor memory device may include: a first impurity doped region and a second impurity doped region spaced apart from each other in a semiconductor substrate, a bit line electrically connected to the first impurity doped region and crossing over the semiconductor substrate, a storage node contact electrically connected to the second impurity doped region, a first spacer and a second spacer disposed between the bit line and the storage node contact, and an air gap region disposed between the first spacer and the second spacer. The first spacer may cover a sidewall of the bit line, and the second spacer may be adjacent to the storage node contact. A top end of the first spacer may have a height higher than a height of a top end of the second spacer.
Abstract:
The present inventive concepts provide methods for fabricating semiconductor devices. The method may comprise providing a substrate, stacking a conductive layer and a lower mask layer on the substrate, forming a plurality of hardmask layers each having an island shape on the lower mask layer, forming a plurality of upper mask patterns having island shapes arranged to expose portions of the lower mask layer, etching the exposed portions of the lower mask layer to expose portions of the conductive layer, and etching the exposed portions of the conductive layer to form a plurality of contact holes each exposing a portion of the substrate.
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, a variable resistance memory device includes a lower electrode that includes a spacer-shaped first sub lower electrode and a second sub lower electrode covering a curved sidewall of the first sub lower electrode. The second sub lower electrode extends upward to protrude above the top of the first sub lower electrode. The lower electrode includes an upward-tapered shape.
