Patent number: 12225724Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first insulation layer and a first sacrificial layer are alternately and repeatedly formed on a substrate to form a mold layer. A sacrificial layer structure is formed on the mold layer to include an etch stop layer and a second sacrificial layer sequentially stacked. After forming a hard mask on the sacrificial layer structure, the sacrificial layer structure and the mold layer are etched by a dry etching process using the hard mask as an etching mask to form a channel hole exposing an upper surface of the substrate and form a recess on a sidewall of the second sacrificial layer adjacent to the channel hole. A memory channel structure is formed in the channel hole. The first sacrificial layer is replaced with a gate electrode.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hwanyeol Park, Sejin Kyung, Ilwoo Kim, Minwoo Lee, Youngho Jeung

Patent number: 12219881Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a dual layer top contact upon a MTJ stack. The dual layer top contact includes lower contact and upper contact. The lower contact may be wider and/or shallower relative to the upper contact. This wide and/or shallow geometry of the lower contact may decrease the propensity for over etching, during the formation of the upper contact, opening downward into the MTJ stack and may therefore prevent undesired shorting of the MTJ stack. Further, the lower contact may further protect the MTJ stack even when the upper contact is misaligned to the MTJ stack.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ashim Dutta, Chih-Chao Yang
