Abstract:
A recessed gate electrode structure includes a first recess and a second recess in communication with the first recess both formed in a substrate. The second recess is larger than the first recess. A gate dielectric layer is formed on a top surface of the substrate and on an inner surface of the first and second recesses. A first polysilicon layer fills the first recess and is doped with impurities at a first impurity density. A second polysilicon layer fills the second recess and is doped with the impurities at a second impurity density. A void is defined within the second polysilicon layer. A third polysilicon layer is formed on the gate dielectric and first polysilicon layers and is doped with the impurities at a third impurity density. Due to impurities in the second polysilicon layer, migration of the void within the second recess may be substantially prevented.

Abstract:
There are provided a method of fabricating an image device having a capacitor and an image device fabricated thereby. The method comprises preparing a substrate having a pixel region and a peripheral circuit region. A lower electrode containing silicon is formed on the substrate of the peripheral circuit region. A capacitor dielectric layer is formed by sequentially stacking a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer on the lower electrode, and the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer have a different dielectric constant from each other. In this case, one of the first and second dielectric layers is a dielectric layer grown from a material layer formed thereunder and has a lower dielectric constant than that of the other. An upper electrode is formed on the capacitor dielectric layer.
