Abstract: A method for demolding a casting from a casting mold having at least one casting core which images a passage opening in the casting connecting two outer sides of the casting and is produced from a molding material bound by a binder which decomposes under the influence of temperature, wherein the casting mold undergoes a heat treatment in a furnace for the demolding, during which it is heated to a temperature at which the binder loses its binding effect. In the furnace, hot gas is flowed through a passage formed in the casting core of the casting mold, the temperature of the hot gas corresponding at least to the temperature at which the binder of the molding material loses it binding effect such that the casting core decomposes into fragments or separate sand particles as a consequence of the influence of the hot gas.

Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. According to the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, after the dopant source layer is uniformly deposited on a channel layer of the device with the 3-demensional vertical structure by the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) method, the deposited dopant source layer is heat-treated so that the dopants are diffused into the channel layer to function as charge carriers, thereby preventing the charges in the channel layer from being reduced. According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion speed and concentration of the dopant may be controlled by forming the barrier layer between the channel layer and the dopant source layer.
