    Abstract: In a vertical-type non-volatile memory device, an insulation layer pattern is provided on a substrate, the insulation layer pattern having a linear shape. Single-crystalline semiconductor patterns are provided on the substrate to make contact with both sidewalls of the insulation layer pattern, the single-crystalline semiconductor patterns having a pillar shape that extends in a vertical direction relative to the substrate. A tunnel oxide layer is provided on the single-crystalline semiconductor pattern. A lower electrode layer pattern is provided on the tunnel oxide layer and on the substrate. A plurality of insulation interlayer patterns is provided on the lower electrode layer pattern, the insulation interlayer patterns being spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance along the single-crystalline semiconductor pattern. A charge-trapping layer and a blocking dielectric layer are sequentially formed on the tunnel oxide layer between the insulation interlayer patterns. A plurality of control gate patterns is provided on the blocking dielectric layer between the insulation interlayer patterns. An upper electrode layer pattern is provided on the tunnel oxide layer and on the uppermost insulation interlayer pattern.

    Abstract: Substrate treatment equipment includes a wet treatment apparatus for treating a substrate with a solution (liquid), a drying (treatment) apparatus discrete from the wet treatment apparatus and for drying the substrate using a supercritical fluid, and a transfer device. The substrate is extracted by the transfer device from the wet treatment apparatus after the substrate has been treated and the substrate is transferred by the device while wet to the dry treatment apparatus. To this end, various elements/methods may be used to keep the substrate wet or wet the substrate. In any case, the substrate is prevented from drying naturally, i.e., from air-drying, as the substrate is being transferred from the wet treatment apparatus to the drying apparatus. Thus, equipment and method prevent defects such as water spots and the leaning of fine structures on the substrate.

    Abstract: Methods of forming nonvolatile memory devices include forming a stack of layers of different materials on a substrate. This stack includes a plurality of first layers of a first material and a plurality of second layers of a second material arranged in an alternating sequence of first and second layers. A selected first portion of the stack of layers is isotropically etched for a sufficient duration to define a first trench therein that exposes sidewalls of the alternating sequence of first and second layers. The sidewalls of each of the plurality of first layers are selectively etched relative to sidewalls of adjacent ones of the plurality of second layers. Another etching step is then performed to recess sidewalls of the plurality of second layers and thereby expose portions of upper surfaces of the plurality of first layers. These exposed portions of the upper surfaces of the plurality of first layers, which may act as word lines of a memory device, are displaced laterally relative to each other.
