Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, a ground selection line, a word line, an insulating layer, a vertical channel portion, and a first peripheral circuit gate pattern. The substrate includes a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region. The ground selection line is on the cell array region. The word line is on the ground selection line. The insulating layer is between the ground selection line and the word line. The vertical channel portion penetrates the ground selection line, word line, and insulating layer in a direction vertical to a top surface of the substrate. The first peripheral circuit gate pattern is on the peripheral circuit region of the substrate. The insulating layer extends from the cell array region onto the peripheral circuit region to cover a top surface of the first peripheral circuit gate pattern.
Abstract:
An etching gas control system is provided. The system includes a gas injector, a gas supply pipe, a Flow Ratio Controller (FRC), and a gas supply unit. The gas injector is installed in a chamber and supplies gas inside the chamber. The gas injector includes a top injector installed at a top of the chamber and a side injector installed at a side of the chamber. The gas supply pipe connects and supplies gas to the gas injector. The FRC connects to the gas supply pipe and controls supply of gas. The gas supply unit supplies gas to the FRC.
Abstract:
A workpiece de-chucking device of a plasma reactor for dry-cleaning the inside of a reaction chamber and an ElectroStatic chuck (ESC) during workpiece de-chucking and a workpiece de-chucking method using the same are provided. The workpiece de-chucking device includes a lifting unit, an ICP source power unit, and a controller. The lifting unit lifts a workpiece mounted on a top surface of an ESC. The ICP source power unit forms a magnetic field in an inductive coil arranged outside a dielectric window. The controller outputs a source power control signal, a lift control signal, and a de-chucking control signal.

Abstract:
A control system for etching gas is provided. The control system includes a mass flow control unit, a flow rate control unit, and a tuning gas control unit. The mass flow control unit controls a mass flow of an etching gas input to a chamber. The flow rate control unit distributes the etching gas to an upper gas injector and a side gas injector connected with the mass flow control unit and installed in the chamber. The tuning gas control unit distributes and supplies a supplementary gas and tuning gas controlling an ion density and distribution of plasma within the chamber, to the mass flow control unit and the flow rate control unit.
