  • Patent number: 10483124
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes: a first stack above a substrate and including insulation layers and conductive layers alternately stacked in a first direction, the first stack including a staircase-shaped portion in an end portion of the first stack in a second direction parallel to a main face of the substrate, the staircase-shaped portion including steps and terraces corresponding to the conductive layers, at least a part of the steps having arc shape curved along a third direction crossing the second direction; and a second stack above the substrate and including first and second layers stacked in the first direction. In the second and/or third direction, a dimension of the first stack is larger than a dimension of the second stack.

  • Publication number: 20120100641
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an etching apparatus includes a reaction chamber, a vacuum pump connected to the reaction chamber through the gate valve, a holding unit which holds a processing subject, an etching gas supply unit, a heating unit, and a sublimation amount determining unit. The etching gas supply unit supplies an etching gas which forms a reaction product by reacting with the processing subject to the reaction chamber. The heating unit heats the processing subject to an equal or higher temperature than temperature at which the reaction product will be sublimated. The sublimation amount determining unit monitors a predetermined physical amount which changes depending on the degree of sublimation of the reaction product during the sublimation process using the heating unit, in which the physical amount is used as a sublimation-amount-dependent change value which changes over time.
