Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method including forming dummy gate structures on a substrate; forming spacers on sidewalls of the dummy gate structures; forming a preliminary first interlayer insulation pattern to fill a gap between adjacent spacers; etching an upper portion of the preliminary first interlayer insulation pattern through a first etching process to form a preliminary second interlayer insulation pattern; implanting an ion on the dummy gate structures, the spacers, and the preliminary second interlayer insulation pattern through an ion-implanting process; etching an upper portion of the preliminary second interlayer insulation pattern through a second etching process to form an interlayer insulation pattern having a flat upper surface; and forming a capping pattern on the interlayer insulation pattern to fill a gap between the spacers.
Abstract:
An apparatus for an etching process includes a chamber, a plasma generator disposed in the chamber, a stacked structure disposed in the chamber to support a substrate thereon and including an electrode plate and an insulation coating layer on the electrode plate, electrode rods inserted into through holes of the stacked structure to penetrate through the stacked structure, directly contacting the substrate and spaced apart from sidewalls of the through holes of the stacked structure, at least one DC pulse generator generating a DC pulse to the electrode plate and the electrode rods, first connection lines connecting the DC pulse generator to the electrode rods, and at least one second connection line connecting the DC pulse generator to a lower portion of the electrode plate.
Abstract:
A pellicle cleaning apparatus includes a stage to support a pellicle, a particle remover above the stage, the particle remover being configured to remove a particle from a first surface of a pellicle, and the particle remover including a cantilever, and an adhesive material on a bottom surface of the cantilever, and a pressure controller adjacent to the stage, the pressure controller being configured to control a pressure of a fluid on a second surface of the pellicle.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a doped layer may be provided. The method includes providing a substrate having a first region and a second region, forming a gate dielectric layer on the substrate, forming a first gate electrode layer on the gate dielectric layer, forming a first doped layer on the first gate electrode layer, forming a first capping layer on the first doped layer, forming a mask pattern on the first capping layer in the first region, the mask pattern exposing the first capping layer in the second region, removing the first capping layer and the first doped layer in the second region, removing the mask pattern, and forming a second doped layer on the first capping layer in the first region and the first gate electrode layer in the second region.
Abstract:
An alignment mark is formed on a substrate including a first region and a second region. The alignment mark is formed in the second region. An etch target layer including a crystalline material is formed on the alignment mark and the substrate. The etch target layer in the first region is partially amorphized. The amorphized etch target layer is etched to form an opening.
