    摘要: An example semiconductor device includes a bit line structure and a bit line capping pattern that are stacked on a memory cell array region. The device further includes a peripheral gate structure including a peripheral gate dielectric layer, a peripheral gate electrode, and a peripheral gate capping pattern that are stacked on a peripheral circuit region. The device further includes a gate spacer on a side surface of the peripheral gate structure, a first peripheral interlayer insulating layer covering the peripheral gate structure and the gate spacer, and a first peripheral contact plug penetrating through the first peripheral interlayer insulating layer. The bit line capping pattern includes a lower bit line capping layer and an upper bit line capping layer that are stacked. A material of the upper bit line capping layer is same as a material of the first peripheral interlayer insulating layer.

    摘要: Memory devices and methods of manufacturing memory devices are described herein. The memory devices include a bitline metal stack on a surface comprising a matrix of conductive bitline contacts (e.g., polysilicon) and insulating dielectric islands (e.g., silicon nitride (SiN)). The bitline metal stack comprises one or more of titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), tungsten nitride (WN), tungsten silicide (WS), or tungsten silicon nitride (WSiN). The memory devices include a bitline metal layer (e.g., tungsten (W)) on a top surface of the insulating dielectric islands and on the bitline metal stack.
