  • Publication number: 20100317166
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a vertical channel type nonvolatile memory device includes: stacking a plurality of interlayer insulating layers and a plurality of gate electrode conductive layers alternately over a substrate; etching the interlayer insulating layers and the gate electrode conductive layers to form a channel trench exposing the substrate; forming an undoped first channel layer over the resulting structure including the channel trench; doping the first channel layer with impurities through a plasma doping process; and filling the channel trench with a second channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20100099243
    Abstract: A method for forming a diode of a phase change random access memory device includes preparing a semiconductor substrate having a dopant area formed thereon. An insulating layer on the semiconductor substrate is formed and a contact hole is formed by etching a part of the insulating layer such that a specific region of the dopant area is exposed. A silicon layer doped with a first-type dopant is formed in the contact hole. A part of the silicon layer is doped with a second-type dopant source gas through a gas cluster ion beam process.

  • Publication number: 20090189243
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device with a device isolation structure and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor device includes: a substrate provided with a trench formed in the substrate; and at least one device isolation structure including an oxide layer formed on the trench, a nitride layer formed on the oxide layer disposed on sidewalls of the trench and a high density plasma oxide layer formed on the nitride layer to fill the trench.

  • Publication number: 20090163013
    Abstract: Provided is a method for forming a gate of a non-volatile memory device. A tunneling layer, a charge trapping layer, a blocking layer, and a control gate layer are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A hard mask is formed on the control gate layer. The hard mask defines a region on which a gate is formed. A gate pattern is formed by etching the control gate layer, the blocking layer, the charge trapping layer, and the tunneling layer. A damage compensation layer on a side of the gate pattern is formed using ultra low pressure plasma of a pressure range from approximately 1 mT to approximately 100 mT.

  • Publication number: 20090061602
    Abstract: A method for doping polysilicon improves a doping profile during plasma doping and includes forming a silicon layer using two separate operations. After forming a first silicon layer, thermal annealing is performed to crystallize the first silicon layer, such that the uniformity of a doping concentration according to the depth of a layer inside is improved during plasma doping. Additionally, a doping concentration at the interface between a polysilicon layer and a gate oxide layer is increased. A by-product deposition layer is reduced, which is formed on the surface of a polysilicon layer due to the increase of a doping concentration in a polysilicon layer. As a result, the dopant loss, which is caused by the removing and cleansing of an ion implantation barrier used during doping, is reduced.
