    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a bit line sense amplifier, a first column select gate, and a second column select gate. The bit line sense amplifier senses an electric potential difference between a bit line and a complementary bit line during a sensing operation for memory cells. The first column select gate transfers an electric potential on the bit line to a local sense amplifier based on a column select signal. The second column select gate transfers an electric potential on the complementary bit line to the local sense amplifier based on the column select signal. The first and second column select gates have different current drive abilities to compensate a difference in bit line interconnection resistance.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first active pattern included in an upper portion of a substrate in a memory cell region, and having an isolated shape extending so that a direction oblique to a first direction is a major axis direction of the first active pattern. A first device isolation pattern provided inside a first trench included in the substrate, and covering a side wall of the first active pattern is provided. A first gate structure is provided inside a gate trench extending in the first direction on upper portions of the first active pattern and the first device isolation pattern. A barrier impurity region is selectively formed only on surfaces of both side walls of a major axis of the first active pattern. First and second impurity regions are provided on the upper portion of the first active pattern adjacent to both sides of the first gate structure.

    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet exposure system includes an exposure chamber having an internal space, upper and lower electrostatic chucks, a power supply, a light source, and a mask. The upper electrostatic chuck includes first and second electrodes that are adjacent to one another and that generate an electric field of different polarities, respectively, to provide an electrostatic force. The mask is attachable to the lower surface of the upper electrostatic chuck by the electrostatic force. The mask has a metal thin film pattern including a first region in which a metal thin film that shields the electric field, and a second region in which the metal thin film is not disposed and through which the electric field is transmitted. When the mask is attached, the electric field transmitted through the second region applies an attractive force or a repulsive force to charged particles in the exposure chamber.
