    Abstract: A method of filling a contact hole of a semiconductor device preceded by dry cleaning for removing a damaged layer resulting from dry etching is provided. The method includes selectively exposing an underlying material layer by a dry etch and dry cleaning including passing plasma excited from a source gas over the exposed underlying material layer to remove the damaged layer formed from the dry etch. Subsequently, an electrically conductive layer with which to fill the contact hole is formed. The formation of the electrically conductive layer is performed in a separate chamber connected sequentially to a chamber for performing the dry cleaning to prevent the exposed underlying material layer inside the dry cleaned contact hole from being exposed to a source of contamination.

    Abstract: A cleaning solution for removing contaminants from the surface of an integrated circuit substrate includes a fluoride reducing agent, an organic acid containing a carboxyl group, an alkaline pH controller and water. The pH of the cleaning solution is 3.5-8.8. The cleaning solution is used at a low temperature, such as room temperature, which is lower than that for conventional cleaning solutions. Therefore, the cleaning solution does not evaporate. Furthermore, a cleaning method using the cleaning solution does not require a pre-ashing step to reinforce the cleaning agent, nor is an alcohol rinse step required. The cleaning solution is removed by rinsing with deionized water. Therefore, the cleaning method using the cleaning solution is quicker and less costly than conventional cleaning methods.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a chemical mechanical polishing method for a substrate having a first layer and a stepped portion. A surface of the first layer is positioned above an upper face of the stepped portion. A polishing process for selectively removing the stepped portion is performed on the first layer by using a first slurry composition that has a self-stopping characteristic so that the first layer is changed into a second layer having a substantially flat surface. A second polishing process is performed using a second slurry composition that does not have the self-stopping characteristic, until the upper face of the stepped portion is exposed.

    Abstract: In a phase change memory, an interlayer insulating layer is disposed on a substrate. A heater plug includes a lower portion disposed in a contact hole penetrating the interlayer insulating layer and an upper portion protruding upward over the top surface of the interlayer insulating layer. A phase change pattern is disposed on the interlayer insulating layer to cover the top surface and the side surface of the protruding portion of the heater plug. An insulating spacer is interposed between the phase change pattern and the side surface of the protruding portion of the heater plug. A capping electrode is disposed on the phase change pattern.

    Abstract: In a thin layer structure and a method of forming the same, a first preliminary insulation pattern is formed on a substrate and includes a first opening exposing the substrate. One or more preliminary seed patterns including single crystalline silicon are formed in the first opening. A second insulation layer is formed on the first preliminary insulation pattern and the one or more preliminary seed patterns. A second insulation pattern, a first insulation pattern and one or more seed patterns are formed by etching the first and second insulation layers and the one or more preliminary seed patterns. The second insulation pattern includes a second opening having a flat bottom portion. A single crystalline silicon pattern is formed in the second opening, wherein a central thickness of the single crystalline silicon pattern is substantially identical to a peripheral thickness thereof, thereby reducing or preventing a thinning defect in a semiconductor device.
