A semiconductor device may include contact plug structures on a substrate, and an insulation structure filling a space between the contact plug structures to insulate the contact plug structures from each other. The contact plug structures may be spaced apart from each other in a first direction. The insulation structure may include a first insulation pattern and a second insulation pattern. The second insulation pattern may include an insulation material having an etch selectivity with respect to silicon oxide. The first insulation pattern may contact a portion of sidewalls of the second insulation pattern and a portion of sidewalls of the contact plug structure. The first insulation pattern may include a material having a band gap higher than a band gap of the second insulation pattern.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes loading a semiconductor substrate into a chamber, the semiconductor substrate including a silicon oxide film, depositing a seed layer on the silicon oxide film by supplying a first silicon source material, supplying a purge gas on the seed layer, depositing a protective layer on the seed layer by repeating a first cycle, the first cycle including supplying a base source material layer and subsequently supplying the first silicon source material, and depositing a silicon nitride film on the protective layer by repeating a second cycle, the second cycle including supplying a second silicon source material and subsequently supplying a nitrogen source material.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor device including air gap

A variable resistance memory device includes memory cells arranged on a substrate and an insulating structure between the memory cells. Each of the memory cells includes a variable resistance pattern and a switching pattern vertically stacked on the substrate. The insulating structure includes a first insulating pattern between the memory cells, and a second insulating pattern between the first insulating pattern and each of the memory cells. The first insulating pattern includes a material different from a material of the second insulating pattern.
