Abstract:
An ALD apparatus includes a first process chamber configured to supply a first source gas and induce adsorption of a first material film. A second process chamber is configured to supply a second source gas and induce adsorption of a second material film. A third process chamber is configured to supply a third source gas and induce absorption of a third material film. A surface treatment chamber is configured to perform a surface treatment process on each of the first to third material films and remove a reaction by-product. A heat treatment chamber is configured to perform a heat treatment process on the substrate on which the first to third material films are adsorbed in a predetermined order and transform the first to third material films into a single compound thin film.
Abstract:
A computing system includes memory configured to store instructions and a nozzle library, and a processor configured to access the memory and to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the computing system to select at least one nozzle unit as a selected at least one nozzle unit based on the nozzle library and to place the selected at least one nozzle unit at corresponding location coordinates, to create multiple volume meshes for the process chamber, and to simulate the flow of the gas through the selected at least one nozzle unit in the process chamber based on the multiple volume meshes in the process chamber. The nozzle library includes information about multiple nozzle units of which each has multiple volume meshes formed therein. The nozzle units have different shapes from each other.
Abstract:
A preliminary tunnel insulation pattern and a preliminary charge storage pattern are formed on each active pattern extending in a direction, and a trench is defined between structures including the active pattern, the preliminary tunnel insulation pattern and the preliminary charge storage pattern. A preliminary isolation pattern partially fills the trench. A dielectric layer and a control gate electrode layer are formed on the preliminary charge storage pattern and the preliminary isolation pattern. The control gate electrode layer, the dielectric layer, the preliminary charge storage pattern and the preliminary tunnel insulation pattern are patterned to form gate structures including a tunnel insulation pattern, a charge storage pattern, a dielectric layer pattern and a control gate electrode. The preliminary isolation pattern is isotropically etched to form an isolation pattern and a first air gap. An insulating interlayer is formed between the gate structures to keep the first air gap.
