Methods of forming an integrated circuit device can include forming an interlevel dielectric film on an integrated circuit substrate including a conductive portion thereof. The interlevel dielectric film includes a contact hole therein exposing a portion of the conductive portion of the integrated circuit substrate, and the dielectric film includes a trench therein communicating with the contact hole wherein the trench is in a surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate. A first metal layer is formed in the contact hole preferentially with respect to formation of the first metal layer on a surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate. After preferentially forming the first metal layer in the contact hole, a second metal layer is formed on the surface of the interlevel dielectric film opposite the integrated circuit substrate.

A cryogenic refrigerator has a separating device provided between a lower temperature portion and a heat exchanger to selectively separate the lower temperature portion and the heat exchanger, and thus to selectively block heat transfer between the lower temperature portion and the heat exchanger. According to the cryogenic refrigerator, it can have an ability to perform a maintenance operation of the cryogenic refrigerator at normal temperature by blocking heat transfer from the lower temperature portion to the heat exchanger during maintenance after disassembly.

Methods of forming integrated circuit memory devices include the steps of forming a first electrically insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate containing memory cells in a memory cell array region and peripheral circuits for driving the memory cells in a peripheral circuit region adjacent the memory cell array region. An etch-stopping layer is then formed on the first electrically insulating layer and then steps are performed to form a first electrically conductive layer on the etch-stopping layer, form a ferroelectric layer on the first electrically conductive layer, form a second electrode layer on the ferroelectric layer, etch the second electrode layer and ferroelectric layer in sequence using a first mask to define a second electrode and then etch the first electrically conductive layer using a second mask to simultaneously define a first electrode and a first interconnection layer comprising the same material. A second electrically insulating layer is then formed on the second electrode and first interconnection layer. First and second vias are then formed in the second electrically insulating layer, to expose the second electrode and first interconnection layer, respectively. A second electrically conductive layer is then patterned in the first and second vias.

A semiconductor device includes a first metal interconnection layer on a semiconductor substrate, an intermetal dielectric layer on the first metal interconnection layer and a second metal interconnection layer formed on the intermetal dielectric layer. A contact stud electrically connects the first and second metal interconnection layers through the intermetal dielectric layer, and includes a titanium/aluminum (TiAlx) core extending from the first metal interconnection layer toward the second metal interconnection layer. In method embodiments, a portion of an insulating layer of a semiconductor substrate is removed to form a hole that exposes an underlying conductive layer. A glue layer, e.g., a titanium (Ti) layer, is formed on bottom and sidewalls of the hole. A Ti seed layer is formed on the glue layer in the hole. An aluminum-containing layer is formed on the Ti seed layer. The substrate is thermally treated to form a contact stud including a TiAlx core.
