A semiconductor memory device may include stacks arranged in a first direction and vertical channel structures provided through the stacks. Each of the stacks may include gate electrodes and insulating layers alternately stacked on a substrate. Each of the vertical channel structures may include a semiconductor pattern connected to the substrate and a vertical channel pattern connected to the semiconductor pattern. Each of the semiconductor patterns may have a recessed sidewall, and the semiconductor patterns may have minimum widths different from each other.

The inventive concept provides a wafer test method and a wafer test apparatus. The wafer test method can recognize the amount of residuals generated in a sidewall of the metal-containing layer pattern and the extent of corrosion of a sidewall of the metal-containing layer pattern using the measured electric resistance by supplying an electrolyte so that the electrolyte is in contact with a portion of the metal-containing layer pattern in a predetermined chip region and measuring an electric resistance between a first electrode which is electrically in contact with the other portion of the metal-containing layer pattern and a second electrode which is in contact with the electrolyte in the predetermined region. Thus, a wafer test method and a wafer test apparatus can be embodied by an in-line method without dividing a wafer into each chip.

Provided are nonvolatile memory devices with a three-dimensional structure and methods of fabricating the same. The nonvolatile memory device includes conductive patterns three-dimensionally arranged on a semiconductor substrate, semiconductor patterns that extend from the semiconductor substrate and intersect one-side walls of the conductive patterns, charge storage layers interposed between the semiconductor patterns and one-side walls of the conductive patterns, and seed layer patterns interposed between the charge storage layers and one-side walls of the conductive patterns.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a nonvolatile memory device with a three-dimensional structure includes alternately stacking first and second material layers in two or more layers on a semiconductor substrate, forming trenches penetrating the stacked first and second material layers by performing a first etching process, and removing the second material layers exposed in the trenches by performing a second etching process. The first and second material layers are formed of materials that have the same main component but have different impurity contents, respectively.

摘要:
In one aspect, a self-aligned contact method is provided in which a substrate having a plurality of structures are spaced apart over a surface of the substrate, and a sacrificial film is deposited over and between the plurality of structures, where a material of the sacrificial film has a given withstand temperature. The sacrificial film is patterned to expose a portion of the substrate adjacent the plurality of structures. An insulating layer is deposited over the sacrificial film and the exposed portion of the substrate, where the depositing of the insulating layer includes a heat treatment at a temperature which is less than the withstand temperature of the sacrificial film material. The insulating layer is planarized to expose the sacrificial film, and the sacrificial film is removed to expose respective areas between the plurality of structures. The respective areas between the plurality of structures are filled with a conductive material.
