    摘要: A patterning method includes forming an etch-target layer on a substrate, forming mask patterns on the etch-target layer, and etching the etch-target layer using the mask patterns as an etch mask to form patterns spaced apart from each other. The etching process of the etch-target layer includes irradiating the etch-target layer with an ion beam, whose incident energy ranges from 600 eV to 10 keV. A recess region is formed in the etch-target layer between the mask patterns, and the ion beam is incident onto a bottom surface of the recess region at a first angle with respect to a top surface of the substrate and is incident onto an inner side surface of the recess region at a second angle with respect to the inner side surface of the recess region. The first angle ranges from 50° to 90° and the second angle ranges from 0° to 40°.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming a material layer on a substrate, performing a selective oxidation process to form a capping oxide layer on a first surface of the material layer, wherein a second surface of the material layer is not oxidized, and etching the material layer through the second surface to form a material pattern. An etch rate of the capping oxide layer is less than an etch rate of the material layer. A semiconductor device may include a lower electrode on a substrate, a data storage part on a top surface of the lower electrode, an upper electrode on the data storage part, and a capping oxide layer arranged on at least a portion of a top surface of the upper electrode. The capping oxide layer may include an oxide formed by oxidation of an upper surface of the upper electrode.

    摘要: A magnetic memory device may include a lower electrode on a substrate, a memory element on the lower electrode, an upper electrode on the memory element, and a protection spacer enclosing a portion of a side surface of the lower electrode and protruding laterally from the side surface of the lower electrode. The protection spacer may have a bottom surface that is positioned at a level higher than that of a bottom surface of the lower electrode.
