  • Publication number: 20230085356
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a stacked body, a plurality of columnar semiconductors, a semiconductor layer, and a conductive portion. The stacked body is placed above the substrate. The stacked body includes a plurality of conductive layers stacked with an insulating layer placed therebetween. The plurality of columnar semiconductors pass through the stacked body. The semiconductor layer is placed above the substrate. The semiconductor layer is connected to bottoms of the columnar semiconductors. The semiconductor layer has a groove pattern in a region adjacent to the stacked body. The conductive portion fills the groove pattern and is in contact with a side surface of the semiconductor layer in the region. The conductive portion electrically connects the semiconductor layer to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10699882
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a treatment chamber configured to treat a substrate with plasma, a first annular coil configured to generate a first magnetic field to be applied to the plasma, and a second annular coil configured to generate a second magnetic field to be applied to the plasma. The apparatus further includes a first electric current supplying module configured to supply, to the first annular coil, a first electric current flowing in a first direction, and cause the first annular coil to generate the first magnetic field. The apparatus further includes a second electric current supplying module configured to supply, to the second annular coil, a second electric current flowing in a second direction that is different from the first direction, and cause the second annular coil to generate the second magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 10079184
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a manufacturing processor, a signal acquisition unit, a frequency characteristic acquisition unit, and an end-point acquisition unit. The signal acquisition unit acquires a first processing signal which shows a different behavior during processing of a stacked body and after the processing of the stacked body. The frequency characteristic acquisition unit acquires a frequency characteristic of a noise caused by a periodic structure of the stacked body from the first processing signal during the processing of the stacked body. The end-point acquisition unit detects an end point of the processing using the acquired frequency characteristic. The manufacturing processor ends the processing when the end point is detected.
