    摘要: Provided are methods and systems for monitoring a state of a plasma chamber. In the method, an optical characteristic of plasma generated in a plasma chamber including a window is measured in a predetermined measurement wavelength band. A process status index (PSI) is extracted from the measured optical characteristic. A state of the plasma chamber is evaluated by analyzing the extracted PSI. The optical characteristic of the plasma is measured in the predetermined measurement wavelength band in which a transmittance of light passing through the window is substantially independent of a wavelength of the light.

    摘要: There are provided a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device using a silicon germanium sacrificial layer, and a method of forming a self-aligned contact using the same. The method of forming a self-aligned contact of a semiconductor device includes forming a conductive line structure having a conductive material layer, a hard mask layer, and a sidewall spacer on a substrate, and forming a silicon germanium (Si1-xGex) sacrificial layer, which has a height equal to or higher than a height of at least the conductive line structure, on an entire surface of the substrate. Then, a photoresist pattern for defining a contact hole is formed on the sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layer is dry-etched, thereby forming a contact hole for exposing the substrate. A plurality of contacts for filling the contact hole are formed using polysilicon, and the remained sacrificial layer is wet-etched. Then, the region where the sacrificial layer is removed is filled with silicon oxide, thereby forming a first interlayer insulating layer.

    摘要: In methods of forming an opening in a semiconductor device and methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a mask pattern may be formed on a layer to selectively expose the layer through the mask pattern. The layer may be partially etched using the mask pattern as an etching mask and using a first etching gas including carbon under a silicon-containing gas atmosphere until a lower layer beneath the layer is exposed to form a preliminary opening. The layer may be etched using the mask pattern as an etching mask and using a second etching gas until the lower layer is exposed to form an opening through the layer. The layer may be an insulation layer.
