  • Publication number: 20080003823
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming an interlayer insulating layer and an etch-stop nitride layer over a semiconductor substrate, etching the etch-stop nitride layer and the interlayer insulating layer to form contact holes, forming contacts in the contact holes, forming an oxide layer on the entire surface including the contacts, etching the oxide layer using the etch-stop nitride layer as a target, thus forming trenches through which the contacts and the etch-stop nitride layer adjacent to the contacts are exposed, and forming bit lines in the trenches.

  • Patent number: 7303958
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same. A step between a memory cell formed in a cell region and a transistor formed in a peripheral circuit region is minimized, and the height of a gate in the memory cell is minimized. Accordingly, subsequent processes are facilitated and the electrical property of the device is thus improved.

  • Publication number: 20060270152
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices. The method includes the steps of forming a gate oxide film, a polysilicon film and a nitride film on a semiconductor substrate, and patterning the gate oxide film, the polysilicon film and the nitride film to form poly gates, forming a spacer at the side of the poly gate, forming a sacrifice nitride film on the entire surface, and then forming an interlayer insulation film on the entire surface, polishing the sacrifice nitride film formed on the interlayer insulation film and the poly gates so that the nitride film is exposed, removing top portions of the sacrifice nitride film while removing the nitride film, forming an insulation film spacer at the side exposed through removal of the nitride film, and filling a portion from which the sacrifice oxide film is removed with an insulation film, and forming the tungsten gates in portions from which the nitride films are moved.

  • Patent number: 6656793
    Abstract: A method of forming a self-aligned floating gate in a flash memory cell. A capping layer is formed on a trench insulating film. An etching process is then performed to etch the trench insulating film to a desired dimension. Therefore, generation of a moat in the trench insulating film is avoided. Further, spacing of a floating gate formed in a subsequent process can be minimized.

  • Publication number: 20030119325
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a metal line in a semiconductor device. Upon a process of forming a barrier metal layer of Ti/TiN using an ion metal plasma (IMP) method, an increased AC bias power is applied to increase a deposition thickness of Ti/TiN at an edge portion of the bottom of a contact hole. Therefore, it is possible to prevent penetration of fluorine ions into the semiconductor substrate upon a process of depositing a subsequent tungsten layer.

  • Patent number: 6579789
    Abstract: In the method for fabricating a metal wiring, an insulation film is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The insulation film has a contact hole exposing the semiconductor substrate. A Ti—Si film is formed over the silicon substrate, and a Ti—Si—N film is formed on the Ti—Si film. The contact hole is then filled by depositing copper on the Ti—Si—N film, and a silicon nitride film is formed over the silicon substrate.
