Multi-bit nonvolatile memory devices and related methods of manufacturing the same are described. In some multi-bit nonvolatile memory devices, a semiconductor substrate has a recessed region defined therein. An insulating layer, which can include an ONO layer, is configured to store data within programming regions therein, and covers a sidewall and a lower surface of the recess region. A gate electrode is on the insulating layer in the recessed region. At least one pair of impurity regions are in the semiconductor substrate. The impurity regions adjoin a side surface of the insulating layer in the recess region and form a relative angle that is less than 120° therebetween with respect to a center of the gate electrode.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes sequentially forming a first pattern and a second pattern on a substrate, the second pattern being a non-single-crystalline semiconductor stacked on the first pattern, wherein a portion of the substrate is exposed adjacent to the first and second patterns, forming a non-single-crystalline semiconductor layer on the substrate, the semiconductor layer contacting the second pattern and the exposed portion of the substrate, and, using the substrate as a seed layer, changing the crystalline state of the semiconductor layer to be single-crystalline and changing the crystalline state of the second pattern to be single-crystalline.

A field effect transistor on an active region of a semiconductor substrate includes a vertically protruding thin-body portion of the semiconductor substrate and a vertically oriented gate electrode at least partially inside a cavity defined by opposing sidewalls of the vertically protruding portion of the substrate. The transistor further includes an insulating layer surrounding an upper portion of the vertically oriented gate electrode and a laterally oriented gate electrode on the insulating layer and connected to a top portion of the vertically oriented gate electrode. Accordingly, a T-shaped gate electrode is defined having a lateral portion on a top surface of a semiconductor substrate and having a vertical portion at least partially inside a cavity defined by opposing sidewalls of a vertically protruding portion of the substrate.

In a semiconductor memory device and method, phase-change memory cells are provided, each including a plurality of control transistors formed on different layers and variable resistance devices formed of a phase-change material. Each phase-change memory cell includes a plurality of control transistors formed on different layers, and a variable resistance device formed of a phase-change material. In one example, the number of the control transistors is two. The semiconductor memory device includes a global bit line; a plurality of local bit lines connected to or disconnected from the global bit line via local bit line selection circuits which correspond to the local bit lines, respectively; and a plurality of phase-change memory cell groups storing data while being connected to the local bit lines, respectively. Each of the phase-change memory cells of each of the phase-change memory cell groups comprises a plurality of control transistors formed on different layers, and a variable resistance device formed of a phase-change material. In addition, the semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure that uses a global bit line and local bit lines. Accordingly, it is possible to increase both the integration density of the semiconductor memory device and the amount of current flowing through each of the phase-change memory cells.

摘要:
In a method for forming a gate electrode having an excellent sidewall profile, after a gate structure is formed on a substrate, a first oxide film is formed on a sidewall of the gate structure and on the substrate by re-oxidizing the gate structure and the substrate under an atmosphere including an oxygen gas and an inert gas. The gate structure has a gate oxide film pattern, a polysilicon film pattern and a metal silicide film pattern. A portion of the first oxide film formed on a sidewall of the polysilicon film pattern has a thickness substantially identical to that of a portion of the first oxide film formed on a sidewall of the metal silicide film pattern. A failure of a semiconductor device having the gate electrode can be minimized because the gate electrode has an improved sidewall profile.
