摘要:
An integrated circuit device, e.g., a memory device, includes a substrate, and a plurality of rows of active regions in the substrate, the active regions arranged in a staggered pattern such that active regions of a first row are aligned with portions of an isolation region separating active regions of an adjacent second row. Source and drain regions are in the active regions and are arranged such that each active region comprises a drain region disposed between two source regions. A plurality of word line structures are on the substrate, arranged transverse to the rows of active regions such that that word line structures cross the active regions between the source regions and the drain regions. Respective rows of conductive pads are disposed between respective adjacent word lines structures, including first conductive pads on the source regions, second conductive pads on the drain regions, and third conductive on isolation regions separating active regions. A plurality of bit line structures are on the substrate, extending transverse to the word line structures and contacting the second conductive pads. Related methods of fabrication are also described.

A semiconductor memory device from which a floating body effect is eliminated and which has enhanced immunity to external noise, and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The memory device includes a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of bit lines are buried in the semiconductor substrate such that the surfaces of the bit lines are adjacent to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The bit lines are arranged in parallel with one another. A plurality of word lines are formed on the semiconductor substrate so that the word lines cross and are isolated from the bit lines. A plurality of vertical access transistors are formed at individual memory cells where the bit lines and the word lines intersect. Each vertical access transistor includes a first source/drain region, a body region including a vertical channel region and a second source/drain region which are formed sequentially on the bit line. The vertical access transistor contacts a gate insulation layer formed on a portion of one side of the sidewalls of the word line. Body regions including the channel regions of the access transistors are connected to one another to be a single integrated region.

An improved isolation method in a semiconductor device of selective polysilicon oxidation (SEPOX) which can create a field oxide layer having a size below the optical resolution and good isolation characteristics. A buffer layer comprised of polysilicon or amorphous silicon is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then an anti-oxidative pattern with an opening which defines an isolation region exposing a portion of the buffer layer is formed. Then a portion of the exposed buffer layer is isotropically etched in order to form an undercut portion in the lower portion around the opening. Then an anti-oxidative spacer filling the undercut portion is formed on the sidewall of the opening. Thereafter, a field oxide layer is formed by partially oxidizing the portion of the buffer layer exposed by the opening and the semiconductor substrate exposed in the opening. The size of bird's beak is decreased, thereby forming a field oxide layer with good isolation characteristics and small size.
摘要:
A method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, in which a first-to-be-patterned layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, a photoresist film is coated on the first-to-be-patterned layer, and the photoresist film is patterned and cured to obtain a thermally stable photoresist film pattern. Thereafter, a second material layer is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate on which the photoresist film pattern is formed, by a low temperature plasma method, and the second material layer is anisotropically etched to thereby form a spacer made of the second material layer on the sidewalls of the photoresist film pattern. A first pattern is formed by anisotropically etching the first-to-be-patterned layer, using the spacer and the photoresist film pattern as an etching mask. The spacer and the photoresist film pattern are then removed. Using the first pattern thus obtained, a fine pattern which is the inverse of the first pattern can be formed. The separation interval between the individual elements can be reduced so as to be less than or equal to the minimum design rule, and a fine pattern below optical resolution can be attained.
