  • Patent number: 11521977
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device and a semiconductor memory device, the method including providing a substrate that includes a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region; forming a mask pattern that covers the cell array region and exposes the peripheral circuit region; growing a semiconductor layer on the peripheral circuit region exposed by the mask pattern such that the semiconductor layer has a different lattice constant from the substrate; forming a buffer layer that covers the cell array region and exposes the semiconductor layer; forming a conductive layer that covers the buffer layer and the semiconductor layer; and patterning the conductive layer to form conductive lines on the cell array region and to form a gate electrode on the peripheral circuit region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10325802
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a device isolation film on a substrate between first and second regions, forming first and second sealing films, such that an etch selectivity of the second sealing film is smaller than that of the first sealing film, patterning the first and second sealing films to expose the second region and a portion of the device isolation film, such that an undercut is defined under a lower surface of the second sealing film, forming a filling film filling the undercut, a thickness of the filling film being thicker on a side surface of the second sealing film than on an upper surface thereof, removing a portion of the filling film to form a filling spacer in the undercut, forming a high-k dielectric film and a metal film on the filling spacer, and patterning the high-k dielectric film and the metal film.

  • Publication number: 20180175143
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a substrate with a first trench, a first insulation liner on inner flanks of the first trench, and a second insulation liner on inner flanks of a first sub trench, the first insulation trench defined by the first insulation liner in the first trench, a top level of the second insulation liner that adjoins the inner flanks of the first sub trench in a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate being different from the top surface of the substrate outside the first trench, may be provided.
