摘要:
Methods of fabricating a flash memory device and flash memory devices fabricated thereby are provided. One of the methods includes forming an isolation layer in a semiconductor substrate to define a plurality of parallel active regions in the semiconductor substrate. A plurality of first conductive layer patterns are formed on the active regions. The first conductive layer patterns are spaced apart from each other in a lengthwise direction of the active regions. An insulating layer is conformally formed on the semiconductor substrate and the first conductive layer patterns. A second conductive layer is formed on the insulating layer. The second conductive layer is patterned until the insulating layer is exposed to form a plurality of parallel second conductive layer patterns. The second conductive layer patterns cross the active regions and the isolation layer to overlap the first conductive layer patterns.

A recessed channel array transistor may include a substrate, a gate oxide layer, a gate electrode and source/drain regions. The substrate may have an active region and an isolation region. A recess may be formed in the active region. The gate oxide layer may be formed on the recess and the substrate. The gate oxide layer may include a first portion on an intersection between a side end of the recess and a sidewall of the active region and a second portion on a side surface of the recess. The first portion may include a thickness greater than about 70% of a thickness of the second portion. The gate electrode may be formed on the gate oxide layer. The source/drain regions may be formed in the substrate. Thus, the recessed channel array transistor may have a decreased leakage current and an increased on-current.

A method of fabricating semiconductor devices may include forming a mold structure on a lower layer, the mold structure including an etch stop layer doped at a first impurity concentration, a lower mold layer doped at a second impurity concentration, and an undoped upper mold layer. The method may include forming a trench exposing the lower layer in the mold structure using dry etching, extending a width of the trench in the etch stop layer using wet etching, and forming a first conductive pattern in the extended width trench, wherein an etch rate of the etch stop layer with respect to the dry etching may be smaller than an etch rate of the lower mold layer with respect to the dry etching, and an etch rate of the etch stop layer with respect to the wet etching may be proportional to the first impurity concentration.

Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming an electrically conductive layer containing silicon on a substrate and forming a mask pattern on the electrically conductive layer. The electrically conductive layer is selectively etched to define a first sidewall thereon, using the mask pattern as an etching mask. The first sidewall of the electrically conductive layer may be exposed to a nitrogen plasma to thereby form a first silicon nitride layer on the first sidewall. The electrically conductive layer is then selectively etched again to expose a second sidewall thereon that is free of the first silicon nitride layer. The mask pattern may be used again as an etching mask during this second step of selectively etching the electrically conductive layer.

A flash memory device includes a common source region that is disposed in an active region at a side of a ground-selection gate line, being apart from the ground-selection gate line. A pair of source spacers crosses over both top edges of the common source region. A source line fills up a space between the pair of source spacers. The top surface of the source line is equal to or lower than the that of the ground-selection gate line.

Methods of forming a semiconductor device may include providing a feature layer having a first region and a second region. The methods may also include forming a dual mask layer on the feature layer. The methods may further include forming a variable mask layer on the dual mask layer. The methods may additionally include forming a first structure on the feature layer in the first region and a second structure on the feature layer in the second region by patterning the variable mask layer and the dual mask layer. The methods may also include forming a first spacer on a sidewall of the first structure and a second spacer on a sidewall of the second structure. The methods may further include removing the first structure while maintaining at least a portion of the second structure.
摘要:
In methods of manufacturing a recessed channel array transistor, a recess may be formed in an active region of a substrate. A plasma oxidation process may be performed on the substrate to form a preliminary gate oxide layer on an inner surface of the recess and an upper surface of the substrate. Moistures may be absorbed in a surface of the preliminary gate oxide layer to form a gate oxide layer. A gate electrode may be formed on the gate oxide layer to fill up the recess. Source/drain regions may be formed in an upper surface of the substrate at both sides of the gate electrode. Thus, the oxide layer may have a uniform thickness distribution and a dense structure.
