    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.

A gate insulating layer and/or a metal nitride layer may be formed on a semiconductor substrate. A mask layer may be formed on the metal nitride layer. Using the mask layer as an etching mask, an etching process may be performed on the metal nitride layer, forming the metal nitride layer pattern. An etchant, which may have an oxidizing agent, a chelate agent and/or a pH adjusting mixture, may perform the etching. The methods may reduce etching damage to a gate insulating layer under the metal nitride layer pattern during the formation of a transistor.

    摘要: Provided are an anionic surfactant-containing etching solution for removal of an oxide film, preparation methods thereof, and methods of fabricating a semiconductor device using the etching solution. The etching solution includes a hydrofluoric acid (HF), deionized water, and an anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant is a compound in which an anime salt is added as a counter ion, as represented by R1—OSO3−HA+, R1—CO2−HA+, R1—PO42−(HA+)2, (R1)2—PO4−HA+, or R1—SO3−HA+ where R1 is a straight or branched hydrocarbon group of C4 to C22 and A is ammonia or amine. The etching solution provides a high etching selectivity ratio of an oxide film to a nitride film or a polysilicon film. Therefore, in a semiconductor device fabrication process such as a STI device isolation process or a capacitor formation process, when an oxide film is exposed together with a nitride film or a polysilicon film, the etching solution can be efficiently used in selectively removing only the oxide film.

    摘要: A method of forming a cylindrical lower electrode of a capacitor in which metal is used as a lower electrode of a capacitor. A metal capping layer is used in order to protect the inner walls of the cylindrical metal lower electrode. A sacrificial insulating layer is patterned to form an aperture for forming the lower electrode. A metal lower electrode layer and the metal capping layer are sequentially formed. In order to electrically separate adjacent metal lower electrodes from each other, the metal capping layer and the metal lower electrode layer are simultaneously planarized until the sacrificial insulating layer is exposed. The sacrificial insulating layer and the metal capping layer that resides in the aperture are removed such that the cylindrical metal lower electrode having inner and outer walls is completed. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously palanarize the metal capping layer and the metal lower electrode layer with respect to the sacrificial insulating layer such that it is possible to simplify processes for forming the lower electrodes.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having multi-gate insulating layers and methods of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes an isolation region disposed at a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate. The isolation region defines at least one first active region and at least one second active region. The first active region is covered with a first gate insulating layer, and the second active region is covered with a second gate insulating layer which is thinner than the first gate insulating layer. Preferably, the top surface of the first gate insulating layer has the same height as the that of the second gate insulating layer. The isolation region is filled with an isolation layer which preferably covers the entire sidewalls of the first and second gate insulating layers. A typical method includes the step of selectively forming a first gate insulating layer at a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate. A second gate insulating layer which is thinner than the first insulating layer is selectively formed at the surface of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the first gate insulating layer. Preferably, the bottom surface of the first gate insulating layer is lower than that of the second gate insulating layer. The first and second gate insulating layers are covered with a conductive layer. The conductive layer, the first and second gate insulating layers, and the substrate are etched to form an isolation region, for example, a trench region, defining a first active region under the first gate insulating layer and a second active region under the second gate insulating. An isolation layer is formed in the trench region. The isolation layer preferably covers the entire sidewalls of the first and second gate insulating layers.
