Abstract:
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacture thereof, particularly, to a semiconductor device including a vertical type gate and a method of forming the same. According to the present invention, a semiconductor device includes a vertical pillar which is protruded from a semiconductor substrate, has a vertical channel, and has a first width; an insulating layer which has a second width smaller than the first width, provided in both sides of the vertical pillar which is adjacent in a first direction; and a nitride film provided in a side wall of the insulating layer.
Abstract:
A fuse of a semiconductor device includes a fuse pattern separated by a blowing region formed on an interlayer insulating film, and a recess formed by removing a portion of the upper portion of a plurality of contacts disposed in the lower portion of the blowing region. After the fuse pattern is blown, the fuse pattern moves in the reliable environment, thereby preventing the electric short to improve yield of the semiconductor device.
Abstract:
A vertical semiconductor device includes a first pillar and a second pillar, a first bit line contact formed at a lower portion of a first sidewall of the first pillar, a second bit line contact formed at a lower portion of a second sidewall of the second pillar which face the first sidewall of the first pillar, a bit line commonly connected to the first bit line contact and the second bit line contact, and a gate formed at both sides of the first pillar and the second pillar to be crossed with the bit line.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of inspecting defects in a circuit pattern of a substrate. At least one laser beam radiation unit for radiating a laser beam onto an inspection target circuit pattern of a substrate in a non-contact manner is prepared. A probe beam radiation unit for radiating a probe beam onto a connection circuit pattern to be electrically connected to the inspection target circuit pattern in a non-contact manner is prepared. The laser beam is radiated onto the inspection target circuit pattern using the laser beam radiation unit. The probe beam is radiated onto the connection circuit pattern using the probe beam radiation unit, thus measuring information about whether the probe beam is diffracted, and a diffraction angle. Accordingly, the method can solve problems such as erroneous measurements caused by contact pressure and can reduce the time required for measurements.
