Abstract:
An integrated circuit device includes a fin-type active area protruding from a substrate; a plurality of liners sequentially covering lower side walls of the fin-type active area; a device isolation layer covering the lower side walls of the fin-type active area with the plurality of liners between the device isolation layer and the fin-type active area; and a gate insulating layer extending to cover a channel region of the fin-type active area, the plurality of liners, and the device isolation layer, and including protrusions located on portions of the gate insulating layer which cover the plurality of liners.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device can include a field insulating film on a substrate and a fin-type pattern of a particular material, on the substrate, having a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall. The fin-type pattern can include a first portion of the fin-type pattern that protrudes from an upper surface of the field insulating film and a second portion of the fin-type pattern disposed on the first portion. A third portion of the fin-type pattern can be disposed on the second portion where the third portion can be capped by a top rounded surface of the fin-type pattern and the first sidewall can have an undulated profile that spans the first, second and third portions.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a pair of fin-shaped active areas that are adjacent to each other with a fin separation area therebetween, the pair of fin-shaped active areas extend in a line, and a fin separation insulating structure in the fin separation area, wherein the pair of fin-shaped active areas includes a first fin-shaped active area having a first corner defining part of the fin separation area, and wherein the fin separation insulating structure includes a lower insulating pattern that covers sidewalls of the pair of fin-shaped active areas, and an upper insulating pattern on the lower insulating pattern to cover at least part of the first corner, the upper insulating pattern having a top surface at a level higher than a top surface of each of the pair of fin-shaped active areas.
