Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure. The semiconductor memory device may include first and second memory cell clusters, which share the same bit line pair and are divided operationally; third and fourth memory cell clusters, which are connected respectively corresponding to word lines coupled with the first and second memory cell clusters, and which share a bit line pair different from the bit line pair and are divided operationally; and a column pass gate for switching one of bit line pairs connected with the first to fourth memory cell clusters, to a common sense amplifier, in response to a column selection signal. Whereby an operating speed decrease caused by load of peripheral circuits connected to the bit line is improved, and the number of column pass gates is reduced substantially with a reduction of chip size.

Since the artificial marble comprises multicolor chips in a new form together with conventional single-color chips, it enables achievement of various appearances, including designs and colors, thereby being highly differentiated from conventional artificial marbles containing combinations of single-color chips as well as displaying patterns and designs closely resembling natural granite.

Abstract:
Example embodiments of the present invention disclose a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, which may include a dielectric layer having an enhanced dielectric constant. A tunnel oxide layer pattern and a floating gate may be sequentially formed on a substrate. A dielectric layer pattern including metal oxide doped with Group III transition metals may be formed on the floating gate using a pulsed laser deposition process. The dielectric layer pattern having an increased dielectric constant may be formed of metal oxide doped with a transition metal such as scandium, yttrium, or lanthanum.
Abstract:
A capacitor may have a pre-treatment layer formed on a lower electrode, reaction to a dielectric layer and/or deterioration of capacitor characteristics may be suppressed. At least part of the dielectric layer may be oxidized or nitridized after being oxidized, and increases in leakage current may be suppressed. In a method of fabricating a capacitor, a plasma treatment performed before and after the forming of the dielectric layer within the batch-type equipment may cause retention time between the plasma treatment and the deposition of the dielectric layer to be the same or substantially the same for each wafer and/or capacitors may show smaller variations in layer characteristics between wafers.

Abstract:
In a method of forming a layer using an atomic layer deposition process, after a substrate is loaded into a chamber, a first reactant is provided onto the substrate. The first reactant is partially chemisorbed on the substrate. A second reactant is introduced into the chamber to form a preliminary layer on the substrate by chemically reacting the second reactant with the chemisorbed first reactant. Impurities in the preliminary layer and unreacted reactants are simultaneously removed using a plasma for removing impurities to thereby form the layer on the substrate. The impurities in the layer may be effectively removed so that the layer may have reduced leakage current.
