    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate including a cell region and peripheral region and bottom electrodes on the substrate. The bottom electrodes are arranged in a first row and a second row each extending in a first direction. The first row and the second row are adjacent to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The bottom electrodes in the first row include an outermost bottom electrode and a next outermost bottom electrode that are separated by a first distance in the first direction. The bottom electrodes in the second row include an outermost bottom electrode and a next outermost bottom electrode that are separated by a second distance in the first direction. The outermost bottom electrode in the first row is on the peripheral region of the substrate. The outermost bottom electrode in the second row is on the cell region of the substrate.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a gate structure and a contact plug. The gate structure extends in a first direction parallel to the substrate, and includes a first conductive pattern, a second conductive pattern and a gate mask sequentially stacked. The contact plug contacts an end portion in the first direction of the gate structure, and includes a first extension portion extending in a vertical direction and contacting sidewalls of the gate mask and the second conductive pattern, a second extension portion under and contacting the first extension portion and a sidewall of the first conductive pattern, and a protrusion portion under and contacting the second extension portion. A bottom of the protrusion portion does not contact the first conductive pattern. A first slope of a sidewall of the first extension portion is greater than a second slope of a sidewall of the second extension portion.

    摘要: A memory controller controlling a nonvolatile memory device having a plurality of memory blocks as a data storage space includes an error detection and correction circuit and a reclaim control unit. The error detection and correction circuit receives data from a memory block and calculates a comparison result by comparing a bit error rate of the received data and a predetermined value. The reclaim control unit determines whether or not to perform a read reclaim operation depending on the comparison result and a read voltage used to read the data. The read reclaim operation copies the data to a memory block different from a memory block having stored the data.

    摘要: A memory system comprises a nonvolatile memory comprising a memory block having multiple pages, and a controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory to store data in the memory block according to a command and logical address received from an external source. The controller is configured to determine whether the logical address is currently mapped to a bad page of the memory block by referring to a bad page map, and as a consequence of determining that the logical address corresponds to the bad page, remaps the logical address to a different page and stores dummy data in the bad page.
