    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes a vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells on a substrate, which are configured as a vertical NAND string of memory cells. This vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells includes a plurality of gate patterns, which are spaced apart from each other by corresponding electrically insulating layers. A dummy mold structure is also provided on the substrate. The dummy mold structure includes a vertical stack of sacrificial layers, which are spaced apart from each other by corresponding electrically insulating layers. An insulation pattern is provided, which fills a dish-shaped recess in a first one of the sacrificial layers in the vertical stack of sacrificial layers. This insulation pattern has an upper surface that is coplanar with an upper surface of the first one of the sacrificial layers.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device may include a selection transistor on a semiconductor substrate, an interlayered insulating layer covering the selection transistor, a lower contact plug coupled to a drain region of the selection transistor and configured to penetrate the interlayered insulating layer, and a magnetic tunnel junction pattern coupled to the lower contact plug. The lower contact plug may include a metal pattern and a capping metal pattern in contact with a top surface of the metal pattern. The capping metal pattern may include a top surface having a surface roughness that is smaller than a surface roughness of the top surface of the metal pattern. The magnetic tunnel junction pattern may include bottom and top electrodes, a lower magnetic layer and an upper magnetic layer between the top and bottom electrodes, and a tunnel barrier layer between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer.
