Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an insulation pattern over a substrate. The insulation pattern has at least one opening that exposes a surface of the substrate. Then, a first polysilicon layer is formed over the substrates such that the first polysilicon layer fills the opening. The first polysilicon layer also includes a void therein. An upper portion of the first polysilicon layer is removed such that void expands to a recess and the recess is exposed. A second polysilicon layer is formed over the substrate such that the second polysilicon layer fills the recess.

Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device are provided. A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A first field oxide layer is formed that partially fills the trench. The first field oxide layer defines an active region of the substrate that is adjacent to the trench. An upper portion of sidewalls of the trench extends upward beyond a surface of the first field oxide layer. A first liner is formed on the first field oxide layer and on the portion of the sidewalls of the trench that extend upward beyond the first field oxide layer. A second field oxide layer is formed on the first liner and fills the trench. The second field oxide layer and the first liner are each partially removed to expose a top adjacent surface and upper sidewalls of the trench along the active region of the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the exposed top adjacent surface and upper sidewalls of the trench. A gate electrode is formed on the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
Methods of forming non-volatile memory devices include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate having first and second floating gate electrodes thereon and an electrically insulating region extending between the first and second floating gate electrodes. A step is then performed to etch back the electrically insulating region to expose upper corners of the first and second floating gate electrodes. Another etching step is then performed. This etching step includes exposing upper surfaces and the exposed upper corners of the first and second floating gate electrodes to an etchant that rounds the exposed upper corners of the first and second floating gate electrodes. The step of etching back the electrically insulating region includes etching back the electrically insulating region to expose sidewalls of the first and second floating gate electrodes having heights ranging from about 30 Å to about 200 Å. The step of exposing the upper corners of the first and second floating gate electrodes to an etchant is followed by the step of etching back the electrically insulating region to expose entire sidewalls of the first and second floating gate electrodes.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for providing a target mobile station with a multimedia content such as audio or video content before a call an originating mobile station attempted to connect is answered by the target mobile station. A mobile communication network protocol for multimedia transmission between a target mobile station and a network is established before a called party receives a call, so that multimedia such as images or moving pictures may be sent to the target mobile station before the called party answers the call. In this way, the called party is able to enjoy a multimedia service before the phone call is connected. Moreover, if the multimedia is an audio or moving picture about a calling party, the called party can identify the calling party based on the multimedia.
Abstract:
In an etching method, a thin layer is formed on a first surface of a first substrate doped with first impurities having a first doping concentration. The thin layer is doped with second impurities having a second doping concentration lower than the first doping concentration. A second substrate is formed on the thin layer. A second surface of the first substrate is polished. The polished first substrate is cleaned using a cleaning solution including ammonia and deionized water. The cleaned first substrate is etched to expose the thin layer.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a phase change memory device includes the use of first, second and third polishing processes. The first polishing process forms a first contact portion using a first sacrificial layer and the second polishing process forms a phase change material pattern using a second sacrificial layer. After removing the first and second sacrificial layers to expose resultant protruding structures of the first contact portion and the phase change material pattern, a third polishing process is used to polish the resultant protruding structures using an insulation layer as a polishing stopper layer.
