    摘要: A method of forming an isolation trench for an integrated circuit device includes forming a trench mask layer on a surface of a semiconductor substrate wherein a portion of the semiconductor substrate is exposed through the trench mask layer. An isolation trench is formed in the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate, and a nitride liner is formed on surfaces of the isolation trench. A trench isolation layer is formed on the nitride liner wherein the trench isolation layer fills the trench, and the trench mask layer is damaged. The damaged trench mask layer is stripped so that the surface of the semiconductor substrate is exposed.

    摘要: Methods of forming integrated circuit capacitors include the steps of forming a first electrically insulating layer having a conductive plug therein, on a semiconductor substrate, and then forming second and third electrically insulating layers of different materials on the first electrically insulating layer. A contact hole is then formed to extend through the second and third electrically insulating layers and expose the conductive plug. Next, a conductive layer is formed in the contact hole and on the third electrically insulating layer. A step is then performed to planarize the conductive layer to define a U-shaped electrode in the contact hole. The third electrically insulating layer is then etched-back to expose upper portions of outer sidewalls of the U-shaped electrode, using the second electrically insulating layer as an etch stop layer. However, the second electrically insulating layer is not removed but is left to act as a supporting layer for the U-shaped electrode. This second electrically insulating layer preferably comprises a composite of a nitride layer and an oxide layer. To increase the effective surface area of the U-shaped electrode, an HSG layer may also be formed on the inner and outer sidewalls of the U-shaped electrode.

    摘要: In a method of forming an oxide layer, ozone is generated by reacting an oxygen gas having a first flow rate with a nitrogen gas having a second flow rate of more than about 1% of the first flow rate. A reactant including the ozone and nitrogen is provided onto a silicon substrate. A surface of the silicon substrate is oxidized via the reaction of the reactant with silicon in the silicon substrate. The flow rate of the nitrogen gas is increased while ozone serving as an oxidant is formed by reacting the nitrogen gas with the oxygen gas. Thus, the oxide layer or a metal oxide layer including nitrogen may be rapidly formed on the substrate.

    摘要: A vertical type semiconductor device can include a vertical pillar structure that includes a channel pattern with an outer wall. Horizontal insulating structures can be vertically spaced apart from one another along the vertical pillar structure to define first vertical gaps therebetween at first locations away from the outer wall and to define second vertical gaps therebetween at the outer wall, where the second vertical gaps are wider than the first vertical gaps. Horizontal wordline structures can be conformally located in the first and second vertical gaps between the vertically spaced apart horizontal insulating structures, so that the horizontal wordline structures can be vertically thinner across the first vertical gaps than across the second vertical gaps.
