Channels of two transistors are vertically formed on portions of two opposite side surfaces of one active region, and gate electrodes are vertically formed on a device isolation layer contacting the channels of the active region. A common bit line contact plug is formed in the central portions of the active region, two storage node contact plugs are formed on both sides of the bit line contact plug, and an insulating spacer is formed on a side surface of the bit line contact plug. A word line, a bit line, and a capacitor are sequentially stacked on the semiconductor substrate, like a conventional semiconductor memory device. Thus, effective space arrangement of a memory cell is possible such that a 4F2 structure is constituted, and a conventional line and contact forming process can be applied such that highly integrated semiconductor memory device is readily fabricated

An integrated circuit package includes an inductance loop formed from a connection of lead wires and one or more input/output (I/O) package pins. In one embodiment, the inductance loop is formed from first and second wires which connect a first bonding pad on the integrated circuit chip to a first I/O pin of the package and a third and fourth wires which connect a second bonding pad on the chip to a second I/O pin of the package. To complete the inductor loop, the first and second I/O pins are connected by a third conductor between the pins. The third conductor may include one or more bonding wires and the I/O pins are preferably ones which are adjacent one another. However, the loop may be formed from non-adjacent connections of I/O pins based, for example, on loop-length requirements, space considerations, and/or other design or functional factors. In another embodiment, connection between the first and second I/O pins is established by making the I/O pins have a unitary construction. In another embodiment, connection between the first and second I/O pins is established by a metallization layer located either on the surface of the package substrate or within this substrate. By forming the inductor loop within the limits of the integrated circuit package, a substantial reduction in space requirements is realized, which, in turn, promotes miniaturization. Also, the integrated circuit may be implemented in any one of a variety of systems, at least one parameter of which is controlled by the length of the inductor loop of the package.

Embodiments of a semiconductor device having storage nodes include an interlayer insulating layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate; a conductive pad disposed in the interlayer insulating layer to contact with a predetermined portion of the substrate, an upper portion of the conductive pad protruding above the interlayer insulating layer; an etch stop layer disposed on the conductive pad and the interlayer insulating layer; and storage nodes penetrating the etch stop layer and disposed on the conductive pad. A penetration path of wet etchant is completely blocked during the wet etch process that removes the mold oxide layer. Therefore, inadvertent etching of the insulating layer due to penetration of wet etchant is prevented, resulting in a stronger, more stable, storage node structure.

A semiconductor device having a buried gate line with a shaped gate trench and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a trench isolation layer provided in a semiconductor substrate to define a multi-surfaced active region/channel. A gate line extending to the trench isolation layer fills a portion of the gate trench. The gate trench is formed with a series of depressions to accommodate peaks in the channel. The combination of depressions/peaks operate to increase the effective area of the channel, thereby enabling smaller channel semiconductor devices to be formed without increasing the width thereof.

A high resolution time detecting apparatus using interpolation and a time detecting method using the same are provided. The time detecting apparatus includes a delayer which generates delayed signals by sequentially delaying a reference signal using a plurality of delay elements, a latch unit which outputs latch signals using the delayed signals, and an interpolation unit which outputs interpolated signals using input and output signals of the delay elements. As a result, a high resolution TDC using an interpolation and a time detecting method using the same provide improved performance of digital PLL, high resolution digital signal output at a low power consumption, and controlled circuit size.
