| 20080315312 | Semiconductor Devices Having Stacked Structures - A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming an interlayer insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, and the interlayer insulating layer may have a contact hole therein exposing a portion of the semiconductor substrate. A single crystal semiconductor plug may be formed in the contact hole and on portions of the interlayer insulating layer adjacent the contact hole opposite the semiconductor substrate, and portions of the interlayer insulating layer opposite the semiconductor substrate may be free of the single crystal semiconductor plug. Portions of the single crystal semiconductor plug in the contact hole may be removed while maintaining portions of the single crystal semiconductor plug on portions of the interlayer insulating layer adjacent the contact hole as a single crystal semiconductor contact pattern. After removing portions of the single crystal semiconductor plug, a single crystal semiconductor layer may be formed on the interlayer insulating layer and on the single crystal semiconductor contact pattern. A second interlayer insulating layer may be formed on the single crystal semiconductor layer, and a common contact hole may be formed through the second interlayer insulating layer, through the single crystal semiconductor layer, and through the first interlayer insulating layer to expose a portion of semiconductor substrate. In addition, a conductive contact plug may be formed in the common contact hole in contact with the semiconductor substrate. Related devices are also discussed. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090004789 | METHOD OF FORMING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING STACKED TRANSISTORS - There is provided a method of forming a semiconductor device having stacked transistors. When forming a contact hole for connecting the stacked transistors to each other, ohmic layers on the bottom and the sidewall of the common contact hole are separately formed. As a result, the respective ohmic layers are optimally formed to meet requirements or conditions. Accordingly, the contact resistance of the common contact may be minimized so that it is possible to enhance the speed of the semiconductor device. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090173986 | Semiconductor Devices Including Gate Structures and Leakage Barrier Oxides - Methods of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a tunnel oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure on the tunnel oxide layer, forming a leakage barrier oxide, and forming an insulating spacer. More particularly, the tunnel oxide layer may be between the gate structure and the substrate, and the gate structure may include a first gate electrode on the tunnel oxide layer, an inter-gate dielectric on the first gate electrode, and a second gate electrode on the inter-gate dielectric with the inter-gate dielectric between the first and second gate electrodes. The leakage barrier oxide may be formed on sidewalls of the second gate electrode. The insulating spacer may be formed on the leakage barrier oxide with the leakage barrier oxide between the insulating spacer and the sidewalls of the second gate electrode. In addition, the insulating spacer and the leakage barrier oxide may include different materials. Related structures are also discussed. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090256177 | Semiconductor device including an ohmic layer - In an ohmic layer and methods of forming the ohmic layer, a gate structure including the ohmic layer and a metal wiring having the ohmic layer, the ohmic layer is formed using tungsten silicide that includes tungsten and silicon with an atomic ratio within a range of about 1:5 to about 1:15. The tungsten silicide may be obtained in a chamber using a reaction gas including a tungsten source gas and a silicon source gas by a partial pressure ratio within a range of about 1.0:25.0 to about 1.0:160.0. The reaction gas may have a partial pressure within a range of about 2.05 percent to about 30.0 percent of a total internal pressure of the chamber. When the ohmic layer is employed for a conductive structure, such as a gate structure or a metal wiring, the conductive structure may have a reduced resistance. | 10-15-2009 |
