A semiconductor device having a capacitor and a method of fabricating the same may be provided. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device may include forming an etch stop layer and a mold layer sequentially on a substrate, patterning the mold layer to form a mold electrode hole exposing a portion of the etch stop layer, etching selectively the exposed etch stop layer by an isotropic dry etching process to form a contact electrode hole through the etch stop layer to expose a portion of the substrate, forming a conductive layer on the substrate and removing the conductive layer on the mold layer on the mold layer to form a cylindrical bottom electrode in the mold and contact electrode holes. The isotropic dry etching process may utilize a process gas including main etching gas and selectivity adjusting gas. The selectivity adjusting gas may increase an etch rate of the etch stop layer by more than an etch rate of the mold layer by the isotropic wet etching process.

In methods of manufacturing a variable resistance structure and a phase-change memory device, after forming a first insulation layer on a substrate having a contact region, a contact hole exposing the contact region is formed through the first insulation layer. After forming a first conductive layer on the first insulation layer to fill up the contact hole, a first protection layer pattern is formed on the first conductive layer. The first conductive layer is partially etched to form a contact and to form a pad on the contact. A second protection layer is formed on the first protection layer pattern, and then an opening exposing the pad is formed through the second protection layer and the first protection layer pattern. After formation of a first electrode, a phase-change material layer pattern and a second electrode are formed on the first electrode and the second protection layer.

Example embodiments relate to a method of treating a substrate after performing a cleaning step with a liquid chemical in a single substrate spin cleaner. A method of treating a substrate according to example embodiments may include forming a film of deionized water on a surface of the substrate during rinsing, and drying the substrate by supplying a drying gas to the water film on the surface of the substrate. When rinsing the substrate, the rotating speed of the substrate may be reduced to about 50 rpm or less to form a film of water on the surface of the substrate. The film of water may shield the surface of the substrate from direct exposure to atmospheric air. The film of water may be maintained on the surface of the substrate when commencing the supply of the drying gas. Consequently, the number of water marks on the dried substrate may be reduced or prevented.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention providing new slurry compositions suitable for use in processes involving the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of a polysilicon layer. The slurry compositions include one or more non-ionic polymeric surfactants that will selectively form a passivation layer on an exposed polysilicon surface in order to suppress the polysilicon removal rate relative to silicon oxide and silicon nitride and improve the planarity of the polished substrate. Exemplary surfactants include alkyl and aryl alcohols of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) block copolymers and may be present in the slurry compositions in an amount of up to about 5 wt %, although much smaller concentrations may be effective. Other slurry additives may include viscosity modifiers, pH modifiers, dispersion agents, chelating agents, and amine or imine surfactants suitable for modifying the relative removal rates of silicon nitride and silicon oxide.

摘要:
For planarizing an IC (integrate circuit) material, a first slurry is dispensed for a first planarization of the IC material using the first slurry, and a second slurry is dispensed for a second planarization of the IC material using the second slurry. The first and second slurries are different. For example, the first slurry is silica based for faster planarization during the first planarization. Thereafter, the second planarization is performed with the second slurry that is ceria based with higher planarity for attaining sufficient planarization of the IC material.
