In methods of forming a thin ferroelectric layer and methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a preliminary ferroelectric layer is formed on a substrate by depositing a metal oxide including lead, zirconium and titanium. The surface of the preliminary ferroelectric layer is polished using a slurry composition including an acrylic acid polymer, abrasive particles, and water to form a thin ferroelectric layer on the substrate. The slurry composition may reduce a polishing rate of the preliminary ferroelectric layer such that removal of a bulk portion of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be suppressed and the surface roughness of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be improved.

The tungsten pattern is formed in the contact hole. The tungsten pattern has a top surface lower than an upper face of the first insulating interlayer. The tungsten oxide pattern is formed in the contact hole and on the tungsten pattern. The tungsten oxide pattern has a level face.

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.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including a channel layer includes forming a single crystalline semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate. The single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a protrusion extending from a surface thereof. A first polishing process is performed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer to remove a portion of the protrusion such that the single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a remaining portion of the protrusion. A second polishing process different from the first polishing process is performed to remove the remaining portion of the protrusion and define a substantially planar single crystalline semiconductor layer having a substantially uniform thickness. A sacrificial layer may be formed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer and used as a polish stop for the first polishing process to define a sacrificial layer pattern, which may be removed prior to the second polishing process. Related methods of fabricating stacked semiconductor memory devices are also discussed.

A method of fabricating a self-aligned contact pad (SAC) includes forming stacks of a conductive line and a capping layer on a semiconductor substrate, spacers covering sidewalls of the stacks, and an insulation layer filling gaps between the stacks and exposing the top of the capping layer, etching the capping layer to form damascene grooves, forming a plurality of first etching masks with a material different from that of the capping layer to fill the damascene grooves without covering the top of the insulation layer, and forming a second etching mask having an opening region that exposes some of the first etching masks and a portion of the insulation layer located between the first etching masks. The method further includes etching the portion of the insulation layer exposed by the opening region using the first and second etching masks to form a plurality of opening holes, removing the second etching mask, forming a conductive layer filling the opening holes to cover the remaining first etching masks and performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process on the conductive layer using the capping layer as a polishing end point to remove the first etching masks such that a plurality of SAC pads separated from each other are formed that fill the opening holes.
摘要:
A sacrificial layer and wet etch are used to form a sidewall spacer so as to prevent damage to the structure on which the spacer is formed and to the underlying substrate as well. Once the structure is formed on the substrate a spacer formation layer is formed to cover the structure, and a sacrificial layer is formed on the spacer formation layer. The sacrificial layer is wet etched to form a sacrificial layer pattern on that portion of the spacer formation layer extending along a sidewall of the structure. The spacer is formed on the sidewall of the structure by wet etching the spacer formation layer using the sacrificial layer pattern as a mask.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a capacitor of a semiconductor device, which can prevent tilting or an electrical short of a lower electrode. In the method, a mesh-type bridge insulating layer is formed above the contact plug on a mold oxide layer. The mold oxide layer and the bridge insulating layer are etched to define an electrode region. The mold oxide layer is removed using an etching gas having an etch selectivity of 500 or greater for the mold oxide layer with respect to the bridge insulating layer.

The cleaning solution of a silicon germanium layer includes from about 0.01 to about 2.5 percent by weight of a non-ionic surfactant with respect to 100 percent by weight of the cleaning solution, about 0.05 to about 5.0 percent by weight of an alkaline compound with respect to the cleaning solution and a remaining amount of pure water. The damage to an exposed silicon germanium layer can be prevented when cleaning a silicon substrate having a silicon germanium layer. Impurities present on the surface portion of the silicon germanium layer can be effectively removed.
