    摘要: A method for forming a microelectronic device includes the steps of forming a spin-on-glass layer on a microelectronic substrate, and forming a capping layer on the spin-on-glass layer opposite the substrate. A masking layer is formed on the capping layer opposite the substrate wherein the masking layer exposes portions of the capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer. The exposed portions of said capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer are etched using the masking layer as an etch mask to thereby form a contact hole through the capping layer and the spin-on-glass layer wherein protruding edge portions of the capping layer extend beyond the spin-on-glass layer adjacent the contact hole. The mask layer is removed, and the protruding edge portions of the capping layer are removed from adjacent the contact hole.

    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: A method for planarizing an interlayer dielectric layer formed on a semiconductor substrate having a step, using wet etch, by depositing first and second layers on the semiconductor substrate and selectively curing the second layer in the lower area using electron beams (E-beams). The second layer, e.g., an SOG layer formed of HSQ, has a lower etch rate during the wet etch in the cured area, to thereby easily planarize the substrate of the interlayer dielectric layer.
