Abstract: Disclosed are a collimator, a fabrication apparatus including the same, and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device using the same. The fabrication apparatus may include a chamber, a heater chuck provided in a lower region of the chamber and configured to heat a substrate, a target provided over the heater chuck, the target containing a source for a thin layer to be deposited on the substrate, a plasma electrode provided in an upper region of the chamber and configured to generate plasma near the target and thereby to produce particles from the source, and a collimator provided between the heater chuck and the target.

Abstract: Provided is a method of forming a semiconductor device. The method can include loading a semiconductor substrate into semiconductor equipment. A base layer can be formed on the loaded semiconductor substrate by performing a base deposition process using a base source material. A first silicon layer can be formed on the base layer to a greater thickness than the base layer by performing a first silicon deposition process using a silicon source material different from the base source material. A first nitrided silicon layer can be formed by nitriding the first silicon layer using a first nitridation process. The semiconductor substrate having the first nitrided silicon layer can be unloaded from the semiconductor equipment.
