A plurality of second dummy mask layers may be formed between two adjacent first dummy mask layers. The interlayer insulating layer may be etched using the first contact mask layers and the second contact mask layers as etch stop layers to form a plurality of second contact holes through the interlayer insulating layer formed in the first region.

A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory integrated circuit device and a non-volatile memory integrated circuit device fabricated by using the method are provided. A device isolation region is formed in a substrate to define a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region. A plurality of first and second pre-stacked gate structures is formed in the cell array region, and each has a structure in which a lower structure, a conductive pattern and a first sacrificial layer pattern are stacked. Junction regions are formed in the cell array region. Spacers are formed on side walls of the first and second pre-stacked gate structures. A second sacrificial layer pattern filling each space between the second pre-stacked gate structures is formed. The first sacrificial layer pattern is removed from each of the first and second pre-stacked gate structures. A damascene metal layer pattern is formed in each of spaces of the first and second pre-stacked gate structures from which the first sacrificial layer pattern is removed, thus completing first and second stacked gate structures. The second sacrificial layer pattern is removed. A stop layer is formed on top surfaces of the first stacked gate structures, top surfaces and side walls of the second stacked gate structures, and a top surface of the substrate.

Provided may be a slurry composition for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and a CMP method using the same. For example, the slurry composition may include a first polishing inhibitor including at least one of PO43− or HPO42− and a second polishing inhibitor, which may be a C2-C10 hydrocarbon compound having —SO3H or —OSO3H. By using the slurry composition for CMP and a CMP method using the same, increased selectivity to SiN may be obtained.
摘要:
CMP (chemical/mechanical polishing) slurries that can rapidly remove a target layer and can effectively passivate a polishing stopper, with high selectivity. In one aspect, a CMP slurry comprises metal oxide abrasive particles, a removal rate accelerator, an anionic polymeric passivation agent having a molecular weight in a range of about 1,000 to about 100,000, a C1-C12 anionic passivation agent, and water.

A first chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry includes a polishing agent, an oxidant, a pH control additive, and an oxide film removal retarder which reduces a removal rate of the silicon oxide film. A second chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry includes a polishing agent, an oxidant, a pH control additive, an oxide film removal retarder which reduces a removal rate of silicon oxide, and a defect prevention agent which inhibits scratch defects and/or corrosion defects at a surface of an aluminum film. In a one-step CMP process, either of the first or second slurry is used throughout CMP of an aluminum layer until an upper surface of an underlying silicon oxide layer is exposed. In a two-step CMP process, the first slurry is used in an initial CMP of the aluminum layer, and then the second slurry is used in a subsequent CMP until the upper surface of the underlying silicon layer is exposed.

摘要:
A method for isolating SAC pads of a semiconductor device, including determining a chemical mechanical polishing process time necessary to isolate the SAC pads a desired amount by referring to a relationship equation between the extent of isolation of the self-aligned contact pads and the chemical-mechanical polishing process time. The chemical mechanical polishing process is performed for the determined process time on the semiconductor device to isolate the self-aligned contact pads the desired amount. The relationship equation is determined using a test semiconductor device.
