Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device improving the process speed is provided. The method includes forming a fin on a substrate, forming a gate electrode on the fin, first ion-implanting a first impurity to amorphize a region including portions of the fin positioned at opposite sides of the gate electrode, forming a stress inducing layer on the substrate and the fin, and annealing the substrate to recrystallize the amorphized region, wherein after the forming of the fin and before the annealing, the method further includes second ion-implanting a second impurity different from the first impurity into the fin.
Abstract:
A method of cleaning a photomask, the method including placing the photomask in a chamber, the photomask including a mask substrate and a reflective layer, a capping layer, and a light absorbing layer pattern stacked on the mask substrate, and wherein the photomask has contaminants thereon; supplying a gas into the chamber such that the gas does not react with the capping layer or reacts with the capping layer to form an anti-oxidant layer; ionizing the gas by irradiating an inside of the chamber with an energy beam such that the contaminants react with the ionized gas to be converted to a by-product; and removing the by-product from the chamber.
