Abstract: A vehicle seat reinforcement device includes a leg portion mounted on a floor panel, a seat cushion frame slidably mounted on the leg portion, and a load reinforcing structure connected between the leg portion and the seat cushion frame, wherein when a seat belt anchorage load is transferred to the seat cushion frame, the seat cushion frame is locked to the leg portion by the load reinforcing structure.

Abstract: A vertical type integrated circuit device includes a substrate and a pillar vertically protruding from the substrate. The pillar includes a lower impurity region and an upper impurity region therein and a vertical channel region therebetween. A portion of the pillar including the lower impurity region therein includes a mesa laterally extending therefrom. The device further includes a first conductive line extending on a first sidewall of the pillar and electrically contacting the lower impurity region, and a second conductive line extending on a second sidewall of the pillar adjacent the vertical channel region. The second conductive line extends in a direction perpendicular to the first conductive line and is spaced apart from the mesa. Related devices and methods of fabrication are also discussed.

Abstract: Provided is a trench-type capacitor. To form the capacitor, first and second active regions are disposed in a semiconductor substrate. Node patterns are disposed in the first active region. Each node pattern may have a conductive pattern and an insulating pattern, which are sequentially stacked. Impurity diffusion regions are disposed in the vicinity of the node patterns. Substrate connection patterns in electrical contact with the first and second active regions are disposed.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes partially removing an active region and an isolation region to form a gate buried trench, forming a gate insulating layer on an inner wall of the gate buried trench, forming a gate conductive pattern on the gate insulating layer to fill the gate buried trench, and a height of an uppermost surface of the gate conductive pattern is lower than a height of an uppermost surface of the substrate. The method also includes forming an interlayer insulating layer on the substrate and on the gate conductive pattern, the interlayer insulating layer includes an upper insulating region and a lower insulating region, the lower insulating region fills the gate buried trench, the upper insulating region is formed over the substrate, and forming a bit contact plug connected to the active region through the interlayer.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a transistor having a channel region buried in a substrate and source/drain regions formed to provide low contact resistance. A field isolation structure is formed in the substrate to define active structures. The field isolation structure includes a gap-fill pattern, a first material layer surrounding the gap-fill pattern, and a second material layer surrounding at least a portion of the first material layer. Each active structure includes a first active pattern having a top surface located beneath the level of the top surface of the field isolation structure, and a second active pattern disposed on the first active pattern and whose top is located above the level of the top surface of the field isolation structure.
