Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a preliminary gate insulation layer is formed on a substrate, and at least a portion of the substrate serves as a channel region. A hydrogen plasma treatment is performed on the preliminary gate insulation layer to form a gate insulation layer, and the hydrogen plasma treatment supplying a hydrogen-containing gas and an inert gas supply in a chamber via different gas supply parts to form a hydrogen plasma region and an inert gas plasma region in the chamber, respectively. A gate electrode is formed on the gate insulation layer, and impurity regions are formed at upper portions of the substrate adjacent to the gate electrode.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device may include forming a fin structure on a substrate; forming an interface film having a first thickness on the fin structure using a first process; forming a gate dielectric film having a second thickness on the interface film using a second process different from the first process; and densifying the gate dielectric film using a third process different from the first and second processes. The second thickness may be greater than the first thickness, and the first thickness of the interface film may be unchanged after the densifying of the gate dielectric film.
Abstract:
A dummy gate electrode layer and a dummy gate mask layer may be formed on a substrate. The dummy gate mask layer may be patterned to form a dummy gate mask so that a portion of the dummy gate electrode layer is exposed. Ions may be implanted into the exposed portion of the dummy gate electrode layer and a portion of the dummy gate electrode layer adjacent thereto by an angled ion implantation to form a growth blocking layer in the dummy gate electrode layer. The dummy gate electrode layer may be etched using the dummy gate mask as an etching mask to form a dummy gate electrode. A spacer may be formed on side surfaces of a dummy gate structure including the dummy gate electrode and the dummy gate mask. An SEG process may be performed to form an epitaxial layer.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory device, a method of fabricating the nonvolatile memory device and a processing system including the nonvolatile memory device. The nonvolatile memory device may include a plurality of internal electrodes that extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to a face of a substrate, a plurality of first external electrodes that extend substantially in parallel with the face of the substrate, and a plurality of second external electrodes that also extend substantially in parallel with the face of the substrate. Each first external electrode is on a first side of a respective one of the internal electrodes, and each second external electrode is on a second side of a respective one of the internal electrodes. These devices also include a plurality of variable resistors that contact the internal electrodes, the first external electrodes and the second external electrodes.
