摘要:
In a method of recycling a substrate having an edge portion on which a stepped portion is formed, the substrate is chemically mechanically polished using a first slurry composition including fumed silica to remove the stepped portion. The substrate is then chemically mechanically polished using a second slurry composition including colloidal silica to improve the surface roughness of the substrate. The substrate having the edge region on which the stepped portion is formed may include a donor substrate used for manufacturing a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate.

Spaced apart bonding surfaces are formed on a first substrate. A second substrate is bonded to the bonding surfaces of the first substrate and cleaved to leave respective semiconductor regions from the second substrate on respective ones of the spaced apart bonding surfaces of the first substrate. The bonding surfaces may include surfaces of at least one insulating region on the first substrate, and at least one active device may be formed in and/or on at least one of the semiconductor regions. A device isolation region may be formed adjacent the at least one of the semiconductor regions.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including a channel layer includes forming a single crystalline semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate. The single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a protrusion extending from a surface thereof. A first polishing process is performed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer to remove a portion of the protrusion such that the single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a remaining portion of the protrusion. A second polishing process different from the first polishing process is performed to remove the remaining portion of the protrusion and define a substantially planar single crystalline semiconductor layer having a substantially uniform thickness. A sacrificial layer may be formed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer and used as a polish stop for the first polishing process to define a sacrificial layer pattern, which may be removed prior to the second polishing process. Related methods of fabricating stacked semiconductor memory devices are also discussed.

A resistive random access memory (RRAM) device may include a first metal pattern on a substrate, a first insulating layer on the first metal pattern and on the substrate, an electrode, a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer, a resistive memory layer, and a second metal pattern. Portions of the first metal pattern may be between the substrate and the first insulating layer, and the first insulating layer may have a first opening therein exposing a portion of the first metal pattern. The electrode may be in the opening with the electrode being electrically coupled with the exposed portion of the first metal pattern. The first insulating layer may be between the second insulating layer and the substrate, and the second insulating layer may have a second opening therein exposing a portion of the electrode. The resistive memory layer may be on side faces of the second opening and on portions of the electrode, and the second metal pattern may be in the second opening with the resistive memory layer between the second metal pattern and the side faces of the second opening and between the second metal pattern and the electrode. Related methods are also discussed.

摘要:
In methods of forming a thin ferroelectric layer and methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a preliminary ferroelectric layer is formed on a substrate by depositing a metal oxide including lead, zirconium and titanium. The surface of the preliminary ferroelectric layer is polished using a slurry composition including an acrylic acid polymer, abrasive particles, and water to form a thin ferroelectric layer on the substrate. The slurry composition may reduce a polishing rate of the preliminary ferroelectric layer such that removal of a bulk portion of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be suppressed and the surface roughness of the preliminary ferroelectric layer may be improved.
