摘要:
An overlay key formed in a scribe lane and used to align a circuit pattern may include a lower overlay mark formed on a metal silicide layer directly in contact with a silicon substrate. A method of forming an overlay key in a scribe lane may include providing a silicon substrate, forming a metal silicide layer to be in direct contact with the silicon substrate, and forming a lower overlay mark on the metal silicide layer.
摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a gate structure formed on a substrate. The gate structure includes an uppermost first metal silicide layer pattern having a first thickness. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate structure. One or more impurity regions are formed in the substrate adjacent to at least one sidewall of the gate structure. A second metal silicide layer pattern, having a second thickness thinner than the first thickness, is formed on the one or more impurity regions.

Embodiments of the present invention provide, among other things, a method of forming an alignment mark having a stepped structure without an additional process. The alignment mark may be used to prevent formation of a defect source in a semiconductor device.

A method of forming an ion implantation mask includes forming a field area on a semiconductor substrate, forming an amorphous carbon layer on the semiconductor substrate, forming a hard mask layer on the amorphous carbon layer, forming an etching mask pattern on the hard mask layer, and etching the hard mask layer and the amorphous carbon layer to expose the field area through the etching mask pattern, wherein etching the hard mask layer and the amorphous carbon layer forms a hard mask layer pattern and an amorphous carbon layer pattern.
