    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable device for controlling an external device. The portable device comprises: a first microphone, disposed on one surface of a portable device, for receiving an audio signal including user voice uttered by a user; a second microphone, disposed on the other surface of the portable device opposite to the one surface of the portable device, for receiving the audio signal including the user voice; a signal processing unit for processing the audio signal; a communication unit for communicating with an external device; and a processor which determines the user utterance distance between the portable device and the user on the basis of the audio signal received through the first and second microphones, if it is determined that the user utterance distance is a short distance utterance, controls the signal processing unit to process only the audio signal received through the microphone disposed at a relatively further distance from the user from among the first and second microphones, and controls the communication unit to transmit the processed audio signal to the external device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor memory devices and their fabrication methods. The method comprises providing a substrate including a cell array region and a boundary region, forming a device isolation layer that defines active sections on an upper portion of the substrate on the cell array region, forming an intermediate layer on the substrate on the boundary region, forming on the substrate an electrode layer that covers the intermediate layer on the boundary region, forming a capping layer on the electrode layer, forming an additional capping pattern including providing a first step difference to the capping layer on the boundary region, and allowing the additional capping pattern, the capping layer, and the electrode layer to proceed an etching process to form bit lines that run across the active sections. During the etching process, the electrode layer is simultaneously exposed on the cell array region and the boundary region.
