Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with an improved doping profile is provided. The method includes providing a measuring target including a first region having a plurality of layers, inputting a first input signal into the measuring target and measuring a resulting first output signal, such as a change over time of a first output electric field that is transmitted through or reflected by the first region. Based on a first model including first structural information of a plurality of first modeling layers and information on doping concentrations of each of the plurality of first modeling layers, calculating a second output signal. When a result of comparing the first output signal with the second output signal is smaller than a threshold value, a three-dimensional model of the measuring target may be estimated based on the first model. Such non-destructive measurements may be used to determine manufacturing process parameters corresponding to ideal doping profiles and used to manufacture semiconductor devices implementing such manufacturing process parameters.

Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a gate pattern on a semiconductor substrate, injecting amorphization elements into the semiconductor substrate to form an amorphous portion at a side of the gate pattern, removing the amorphous portion to form a recess region, and forming a source/drain pattern in the recess region. When the recess region is formed, an etch rate of the amorphous portion is substantially the same in two different directions (e.g., and any other direction) of the semiconductor substrate.
