Provided is a method of fabricating an integrated circuit semiconductor device. The method may include forming a plurality of gate patterns spaced apart from each other on a semiconductor substrate, the plurality of gate patterns including gate electrodes and gate capping patterns. After an interlayer insulating layer is formed to insulate the gate patterns, the interlayer insulating layer and the gate capping patterns may be planarized by etching until top surfaces of the gate electrodes are exposed. Gate metal silicide layers may be selectively formed on the gate electrodes.

In a method of reworking a substrate, an organic anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer is formed on the substrate having an amorphous carbon pattern. A photoresist pattern is formed on the organic ARC layer. The photoresist pattern is entirely exposed when the photoresist pattern has a selected level of defects, and then the photoresist pattern is removed by a developing process. The substrate may be reworked without damaging the organic ARC layer, and the amorphous carbon pattern may include an alignment key and/or an overlay key.

In an apparatus and method for removing a photoresist structure from a substrate, a chamber for receiving the substrate includes a showerhead for uniformly distributing a mixture of water vapor and ozone gas onto the substrate. The showerhead includes a first space having walls and configured to receive the water vapor, and a second space connected to the first space so that the water vapor is supplied to and partially condensed into liquid water on one or more walls of the first space. Ozone gas and water vapor without liquid water may be supplied to the second space to form the mixture therein. The showerhead may be heated to vaporize the liquid water on a given surface of the first space.

Example embodiments relate to a method of forming a conductive structure. Other example embodiments relate to a method of forming a conductive structure capable of storing or transmitting electric charges. In example embodiments, when a conductive structure including first and second conductive patterns extending in a first horizontal direction is formed, at least one of the first and second conductive patterns may decreases in size. When the conductive structure is vertically bisected in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction to form conductive members, a coupling effect generated between the conductive members adjacent to each other may be reduced.

A corrosion-inhibiting cleaning composition for semiconductor wafer processing includes hydrogen peroxide at a concentration in a range from about 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt %, sulfuric acid at a concentration in a range from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt %, hydrogen fluoride at a concentration in a range from about 0.01 wt % to about 1 wt %; an azole at a concentration in a range from about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % and deionized water. The azole operates to inhibit corrosion of a metal layer being cleaned by chelating with a surface of the metal layer during a cleaning process.

In a method of removing a photoresist pattern from a substrate without deteriorating a lower electrode or increasing processing time, ozone gas may be provided onto a substrate on which a photoresist pattern may be formed. An oxidation-decomposition process may be carried out using the ozone gas, to thereby decompose the photoresist pattern on the substrate. The decomposed photoresist pattern may be dissolved into water and removed from the substrate in a rinsing process. Accordingly, a photoresist pattern in an opening having a relatively high aspect ratio may be sufficiently removed from a substrate without deteriorating the lower electrode or increasing processing time.

Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor device, in which a chamfered metal silicide layer is formed by a 2-stage continuous wet etching process using different etchants, thereby resulting in a sufficient insulation margin between a lower conductive layer including the metal silicide layer and the contact plug self-aligned with the lower conductive layer are disclosed. In the manufacture of a semiconductor device, a mask pattern is formed on a metal silicide layer to expose a portion of the metal silicide layer. The exposed portion of the metal silicide layer is isotropically etched in a first etchant to form a metal silicide layer with a shallow groove, and defects due to the silicon remaining on the surface of the metal silicide layer with the shallow groove are removed using a second etchant, to form a metal silicide layer with a smooth surface. Microelectronic structures produced by methods of the present invention are also disclosed.
