摘要:
A semiconductor device having a recessed landing pad includes a semiconductor substrate and a lower interlayer dielectric layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate. A first landing pad is disposed through the lower interlayer dielectric layer to be in contact with the semiconductor substrate. A second landing pad is disposed through the lower interlayer dielectric layer to also be in contact with the semiconductor substrate. A metal silicide layer is disposed on the second landing pad. The metal silicide layer is disposed lower than a top surface of the first landing pad. An intermediate interlayer dielectric layer is disposed on the lower interlayer dielectric layer. A conductive line is disposed on the intermediate interlayer dielectric layer. A contact plug is disposed between the conductive line and the metal silicide layer. A designed contact area between the metal silicide layer and the contact plug is protected against inadvertent etching.

A photo mask, a semiconductor integrated circuit, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The photo mask includes light transmitting rows and recess trenches, respectively, that include a short region in every other light transmitting row. In the semiconductor integrated circuit, the short region may include a dummy transistor so that short-circuiting bridges that may occur between adjacent recess trenches will not adversely affect the operations of the semiconductor integrated circuit.

An embodiment of a photomask for forming gate lines and a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices using the photomask is disclosed. The photomask includes a photomask substrate, gate line mask patterns that define gate lines that cross at least one active region on a semiconductor substrate, and that are arranged in parallel, gate tab mask patterns formed on both sides of each gate line mask pattern, and joints formed between adjacent gate tab mask patterns, and that include a separation region. A relatively large gate tab mask pattern can be formed using the photomask. And a short channel effect at the boundary of the active region can be improved with the large gate tab mask pattern, so the characteristics and reliability of the semiconductor devices can be improved.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and recess trenches formed on the semiconductor substrate. The recess trenches are arranged to extend along a first direction. Terminal regions of adjacent ones of the recess trenches are offset relative to each other along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
