    摘要: Mask patterns used for forming patterns or trenches may include first mask patterns, which may be formed by a typical photolithography process, and second mask patterns, which may be formed in a self-aligned manner between adjacent first mask patterns. A sacrificial layer may be deposited and planarized such that the tops of the first mask patterns and the second mask patterns have planar surfaces. After the planarization of the sacrificial layer, the remaining the sacrificial layer may be removed by an ashing process.

    摘要: In a method of chemically and mechanically polishing a layer, a substrate on which the layer having stepped portions is formed is prepared. The layer is primarily chemically and mechanically polished at a temperature of about 30° C. to about 80° C. to remove the stepped portions of the layer. The layer is secondarily chemically and mechanically polished without the stepped portions at a temperature of about 5° C. to about 25° C. to form a flat layer having a desired thickness. Thus, the stepped portions may be rapidly removed in an initial period so that the method may have an improved throughput.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a self-aligned contact pad (SAC) includes forming stacks of a conductive line and a capping layer on a semiconductor substrate, spacers covering sidewalls of the stacks, and an insulation layer filling gaps between the stacks and exposing the top of the capping layer, etching the capping layer to form damascene grooves, forming a plurality of first etching masks with a material different from that of the capping layer to fill the damascene grooves without covering the top of the insulation layer, and forming a second etching mask having an opening region that exposes some of the first etching masks and a portion of the insulation layer located between the first etching masks. The method further includes etching the portion of the insulation layer exposed by the opening region using the first and second etching masks to form a plurality of opening holes, removing the second etching mask, forming a conductive layer filling the opening holes to cover the remaining first etching masks and performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process on the conductive layer using the capping layer as a polishing end point to remove the first etching masks such that a plurality of SAC pads separated from each other are formed that fill the opening holes.

    摘要: Disclosed is a slurry and method for chemical-mechanical polishing operation. The slurry may contain abrasive particles, an oxidizer, a pH controller, a chelating agent and water. The viscosity of the slurry may be in the range of about 1.0 cP—about 1.05 cP, so that the step difference may be reduced between regions with patterns and without patterns even after completing the chemical-mechanical polishing operation. A permissible rate of depth of focus (DOF) may not need to be controlled in the subsequent photolithography operation, which may enable the subsequent photolithography operation to be conducted by an optical system with relatively low DOF.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. A pattern layer is formed on a substrate defined to include a main pattern region and a dummy pattern region. A preliminary main pattern and a preliminary dummy pattern may be formed by patterning the pattern layer so that an upper surface area of the preliminary dummy pattern facing away from a surface of the substrate is less than an entire area of the dummy pattern region that is be subjected to subsequent planarization. The preliminary main pattern and the preliminary dummy pattern are partially etched to form a main pattern and a dummy pattern.
