Transistors having a high carrier mobility and devices incorporating the same are fabricated by forming a preliminary semiconductor layer in a semiconductor substrate at both sides of a gate pattern. A source/ drain semiconductor layer having a heterojunction with the semiconductor substrate is formed by irradiating a laser beam onto the preliminary semiconductor layer. The source/drain semiconductor layer is formed in a recrystallized single crystal structure.
摘要:
In a method of forming an ohmic layer of a DRAM device, the metal silicide layer between the storage node contact plug and the lower electrode of a capacitor is formed as the ohmic layer by a first heat treatment under a first temperature and an instantaneous second heat treatment under a second temperature higher than the first temperature. Thus, the metal silicide layer has a thermo-stable crystal structure and little or no agglomeration occurs on the metal silicide layer in the high temperature process. Accordingly, the sheet resistance of the ohmic layer may not increase in spite of the subsequent high temperature process.

Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices include forming a transistor on and/or in a semiconductor substrate, wherein the transistor includes a source/drain region and a gate pattern disposed on a channel region adjacent the source/drain region. An insulating layer is formed on the transistor and patterned to expose the source/drain region. A semiconductor source layer is formed on the exposed source/drain region and on an adjacent portion of the insulating layer. A metal source layer is formed on the semiconductor source layer. Annealing, is performed to form a first metal-semiconductor compound region on the source/drain region and a second metal-semiconductor compound region on the adjacent portion of the insulating layer. The first metal-semiconductor compound region may be thicker than the second metal-semiconductor compound region. The metal source layer may include a metal layer and a metal nitride barrier layer.
