    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices including multilayer dielectric layers are disclosed. The methods include forming a multilayer dielectric layer including metal atoms and silicon atoms on a semiconductor substrate. The multilayer dielectric layer includes at least two crystalline metal silicate layers having different silicon concentrations. The multilayer dielectric layer may be used, for example, as a dielectric layer for a capacitor, or as a blocking layer for a nonvolatile memory device.

    Abstract: A capacitor may include a lower electrode structure, a dielectric layer and an upper electrode structure. The lower electrode structure may include a first lower pattern, a first deformation-preventing layer pattern and a second lower pattern. The first lower pattern may have a cylindrical shape. The first deformation-preventing layer pattern may be formed on an inner surface of the first lower pattern. The second lower pattern may be formed on the first deformation-preventing layer pattern. The dielectric layer may be formed on the lower electrode structure. The upper electrode structure may be formed on the dielectric layer. Thus, the capacitor may have a high capacitance and improved electrical characteristics.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure. The semiconductor memory device may include first and second memory cell clusters, which share the same bit line pair and are divided operationally; third and fourth memory cell clusters, which are connected respectively corresponding to word lines coupled with the first and second memory cell clusters, and which share a bit line pair different from the bit line pair and are divided operationally; and a column pass gate for switching one of bit line pairs connected with the first to fourth memory cell clusters, to a common sense amplifier, in response to a column selection signal. Whereby an operating speed decrease caused by load of peripheral circuits connected to the bit line is improved, and the number of column pass gates is reduced substantially with a reduction of chip size.

    Abstract: A sense amplifier circuit of a semiconductor memory device and a method of operating the same, in which the sense amplifier circuit includes a bit line sense amplifier connected with a bit line to sense and amplify a signal of the bit line, and a calibration circuit calibrating a voltage level of the bit line based on a logic threshold value of the bit line sense amplifier. The bit line sense amplifier senses and amplifies the signal of the bit line after the voltage level of the bit line is calibrated. The bit line sense amplifier may include a 2-stage cascade latch, which includes a first inverter having an input terminal connected with the bit line; and a second inverter which has an input terminal connected with an output terminal of the first inverter and an output terminal connected with the bit line and is enabled/disabled in response to a sensing control signal. The calibration circuit includes a switch element that is connected between the output terminal of the first inverter and the bit line and is turned on or off in response to a calibration control signal.
