    摘要: A non-volatile memory device having a charge trap layer and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The non-volatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having an active region and a field region in contact with the active region. A trench isolation layer is formed within the semiconductor substrate field region to define the active region and has a protrusion higher than a top surface of the semiconductor substrate active region. A memory storage pattern is formed which crosses and extends from the semiconductor substrate active region to cover sidewalls of the protrusion of the trench isolation layer. A gate electrode is formed on the memory storage pattern and extends upward from the trench isolation layer.

    摘要: A contact hole for an integrated circuit substrate is fabricated by forming first and second layers on an integrated circuit substrate and a photoresist pattern on the second layer including a first opening therein. The second layer is etched through the first opening to define a sidewall therein while concurrently forming a polymer on the sidewall, so as to form a second opening in the second layer that is smaller than the first opening. The etching step preferably comprises the step of etching the second layer using a fluorocarbon to define a sidewall therein while concurrently forming a fluorocarbon polymer on the sidewall. The first layer is then etched through the second opening to form the contact hole to the integrated circuit substrate. A conductive layer may be formed in the contact hole to form a conductive contact that electrically contacts the integrated circuit substrate. Accordingly, by concurrently etching the second layer and forming a polymer on the etched sidewall thereof, smaller openings may be formed in the second layer than are formed in the photoresist pattern thereon.
