Abstract:
Methods of filling trenches/gaps defined by circuit elements on an integrated circuit substrate are provided. The methods include forming a first high-density plasma layer on an integrated circuit substrate including at least one trench thereon using a first reaction gas. The first high-density plasma layer is etched using an etch gas including nitrogen fluoride gas (NF3). A second high-density plasma layer is formed on the etched first high-density plasma layer using a second reaction gas including nitrogen fluoride.
Abstract:
Methods of forming an electronic device including a substrate and a raised pattern on the substrate are provided. For example, a first insulating layer may be formed on the raised pattern and on the substrate. More particularly, forming the first insulating layer may include forming a first portion of the first insulating layer using a first processing condition and forming a second portion of the first insulating layer using a second processing condition. After forming the first insulating layer including the first and second portions, portions of the first insulating layer may be removed to expose portions of the raised pattern while maintaining portions of the first insulating layer on the substrate. After removing portions of the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer may be formed on the exposed portions of the raised pattern and on the maintained portions of the first insulating layer.
Abstract:
Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device include forming a mask pattern on a semiconductor substrate and which exposes defined regions of the semiconductor substrate. Oxygen ions are implanted into the defined regions of the semiconductor substrate using the mask pattern as an ion implantation mask. The oxygen ion implanted regions of the semiconductor substrate are annealed at one or more temperatures in a range that is sufficiently high to form silicon oxide substantially throughout the oxygen ion implanted regions by reacting the implanted oxygen ions with silicon in the oxygen ion implanted regions, and that is sufficiently low to substantially prevent oxidation of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the oxygen ion implanted regions.
Abstract:
Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device are provided. A semiconductor substrate is provided that includes a single crystalline structure within at least a defined region thereof. A thin layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The thin layer is patterned to form a plurality of spaced apart field structures and to expose therebetween portions of the semiconductor substrate having the single crystalline structure. A non-crystalline layer is formed on the exposed portions of the semiconductor substrate having the single crystalline structure. The non-crystalline layer is planarized to expose upper surfaces of the field structures and define non-crystalline active structures from the non-crystalline layer between the field structures. A laser beam is generated that heats the non-crystalline active structures to change them into single crystalline active structures having substantially the same single crystalline structure as the defined region of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating a three-dimensional semiconductor device is provided along with a three-dimensional semiconductor device fabricated thereby. The method includes forming a heat conductive plug to channel heat away from devices on a substrate, while high temperature processes are performed on a stacked semiconductor layer. The ability to use high temperature processes on the stacked semiconductor layer without adversely effecting devices on the substrate allows the formation of a high quality single-crystalline stacked semiconductor layer. The high quality single-crystalline semiconductor layer can then be used to fabricate improved thin film transistors.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a semiconductor device having a photodetector and a method of fabricating the same. The photodetector includes a visible ray absorbing pattern disposed on a top and/or bottom surface of an interconnection formed at a light shielding area between adjacent photodetectors, which prevents obliquely incident light from reaching an adjacent photodetector.
