Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an isolation layer defining an active region formed in a semiconductor substrate. A first recessing process is performed on the isolation layer to expose edge portions of the active region. A first rounding process is performed to round the edge portions of the active region. A second recessing process is performed on the isolation layer. A second rounding process is performed to round the edge portions of the active region.
Abstract:
Methods processing substrates are provided. The method may include providing a bonding layer between a substrate and a carrier to bond the substrate to the carrier, processing the substrate while the substrate is supported by the carrier, and removing the bonding layer to separate the substrate from the carrier. The bonding layer may include a thermosetting glue layer and thermosetting release layers provided on opposing sides of the thermosetting glue layer.

Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate with a cell array region and a connection region, an electrode structure including electrodes stacked on the substrate and having a staircase structure on the connection region, a vertical channel structure on the cell array region to penetrate the electrode structure and electrically connected to the substrate, a dummy structure on the connection region to penetrate the staircase structure, and a first sidewall oxide pattern interposed between the substrate and the dummy structure. The dummy structure includes an upper portion that is on the substrate, a middle portion that is in contact with the first sidewall oxide pattern, and a lower portion that is below the middle portion. With increasing vertical distance from the upper portion, a diameter of the middle portion decreases until it reaches its smallest value and then increases.
Abstract:
A vertical memory device may include a channel connecting pattern on a substrate, gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a first direction on the channel connecting pattern, and a channel extending in the first direction through the gate electrodes and the channel connecting pattern. Each of the electrodes may extend in a second direction substantially parallel to an upper surface of the substrate, and the first direction may be substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate. An end portion of the channel connecting pattern in a third direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate and substantially perpendicular to the second direction may have an upper surface higher than an upper surface of other portions of the channel connecting pattern except for a portion thereof adjacent the channel.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a communication method that prevents excess message transmission and improves the efficiency of a communication system. The method includes transmitting a first connection request message for a service connection to a network by an electronic device, receiving a first connection reject message for the first connection request from the network, abstaining from retransmission of the connection request to the network based on the first connection reject message, determining whether an operation configured in the electronic device belongs to a condition set by the electronic device based on at least a portion of the abstinence operation, and when determining that the operation belongs to the condition, transmitting a second connection request message to the network.
