Abstract: A method of manufacturing a data storage device may include forming a magnetic tunnel junction layer on a substrate, irradiating a first ion beam on the magnetic tunnel junction layer to form magnetic tunnel junction patterns separated from each other, irradiating a second ion beam on the magnetic tunnel junction layer, and irradiating a third ion beam on the magnetic tunnel junction layer. The first ion beam may be irradiated at a first incident angle. The second ion beam may be irradiated at a second incident angle that may be smaller than the first incident angle. The third ion beam may be irradiated to form sidewall insulating patterns on sidewalls of the magnetic tunnel junction patterns based on re-depositing materials separated by the third ion beam on the sidewalls of the magnetic tunnel junction patterns.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first lower insulating interlayer, a protection insulating layer, and a first upper insulating interlayer that are sequentially stacked on a substrate, and a conductive pattern penetrating the first upper insulating interlayer, the protection insulating layer; and the first lower insulating interlayer. The conductive pattern includes a line part extending in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the substrate and contact parts extending from the line part toward the substrate. The contact parts are separated from each other with an insulating pattern therebetween. The insulating pattern includes a portion of each of the first upper insulating interlayer, the protection insulating layer, and the first lower insulating interlayer. At least a portion of the insulating pattern has a stepped profile.

Abstract: Manufacturing an MRAM device may include forming an upper electrode on a magnetic tunnel junction stack, where the stack may include a lower electrode layer, a magnetic tunnel junction layer and a middle electrode layer that are sequentially formed on an insulating interlayer and a lower electrode contact on a substrate. The upper electrode may be formed on the middle electrode layer. An upper electrode protective structure may be formed to cover at least a sidewall and an upper surface of the upper electrode. The middle electrode layer, the magnetic tunnel junction layer and the lower electrode may be patterned by an etching process to form a middle electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction pattern and a lower electrode, respectively. The upper electrode protective structure may isolate the upper electrode from exposure during the patterning, and the upper electrode protective structure may remain on the upper electrode subsequently to the patterning.

Abstract: In a method of forming a pattern of a semiconductor device, a first mask layer and an anti-reflective coating layer may be sequentially formed on a substrate. A photoresist layer may be formed on the anti-reflective coating layer. The photoresist layer may be exposed and developed to form a first preliminary photoresist pattern. A first ion beam etching process may be performed on the first preliminary photoresist pattern to form a second preliminary photoresist pattern. A second ion beam etching process may be performed on the second preliminary photoresist pattern to form a photoresist pattern. A second incident angle of an ion beam in the second ion beam etching process may be greater than a first incident angle of an ion beam in the first ion beam etching process. The anti-reflective coating layer and the first mask layer may be etched using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask to form a mask structure.
