    摘要: Provided are methods of fabricating flash memory devices that may prevent a short circuit from occurring between cell gate lines. Methods of fabricating such flash memory devices may include forming gate lines including a series of multiple cell gate lines and multiple selection gate lines. Each gate line may include a stacked structure of a tunnel insulating layer, a floating gate, a gate insulating layer, and/or a polysilicon layer operable to be a control gate, all formed on a semiconductor substrate. Methods may include forming a first insulating layer that selectively fills gaps between the cell gate lines from the bottom up and between adjacent ones of the cell gate lines and the selection gate lines, and does not fill a space located on outer sides of the selection gate lines that are opposite the plurality of cell gate lines. A spacer may be formed on the outer sides of the selection gate lines that are opposite to the cell gate lines, after forming the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer may be formed in a space where the spacer is formed.

    摘要: In a vertical semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing a vertical semiconductor device, sacrificial layers and insulating interlayers are repeatedly and alternately stacked on a substrate. The sacrificial layers include boron (B) and nitrogen (N) and have an etching selectivity with respect to the insulating interlayers. Semiconductor patterns are formed on the substrate through the sacrificial layers and the insulating interlayers. The sacrificial layers and the insulating interlayers are at least partially removed between the semiconductor patterns to form sacrificial layer patterns and insulating interlayer patterns on sidewalls of the semiconductor patterns. The sacrificial layer patterns are removed to form grooves between the insulating interlayer patterns. The grooves expose portions of the sidewalls of the semiconductor patterns. A gate structure is formed in each of the grooves.

    摘要: Example embodiments herein relate to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method may include forming a liner insulating layer on a surface of a gate pattern to have a first thickness. Subsequently, a gap fill layer may be formed on the liner insulating layer by flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD) or spin-on-glass (SOG). The liner insulating layer and the gap fill layer may be recessed such that the liner insulating layer has a second thickness, which is smaller than the first thickness, in the region in which a metal silicide will be formed. Metal silicide may be formed on the plurality of gate patterns to have a relatively uniform thickness using the difference in thickness of the liner insulating layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes preparing a substrate having a recessed area. A silicon oxide layer is formed at the recessed area. A catalytic nitridation treatment is performed for an upper portion of the silicon oxide layer to form a nitridation reactant on the upper portion of the silicon oxide layer. A dielectric layer is formed on the silicon oxide layer where the nitridation reactant is formed. The dielectric layer is annealed. According to the foregoing method, recession of the dielectric layer is prevented to fabricate a high-quality semiconductor device.
