In an electrode line structure of a semiconductor device and a method for forming the same, the electrode line structure comprises a semiconductor substrate, and electrode lines, which are formed on the semiconductor substrate, and have an inclined end in the long axis direction. The electrode lines each include a first line unit, which substantially functions as an electrode line, a second line unit, which has an inclined end in the long axis direction and is separated from the first line unit by a predetermined distance, and an insulating plug, which is interposed between the first line unit and the second line unit and electrically insulates the first line unit from the second line unit.

Electrode line structure having fine line width and method of forming the same

A method is provided for forming a silicon dioxide film using atomic layer deposition (ALD), wherein a halogen- or NCO-substituted siloxane is used as a Si source. The method includes feeding a substituted siloxane as a first reactant onto a substrate to form a chemisorbed layer of the first reactant, and thereafter feeding a compound consisting of oxygen and hydrogen as a second reactant onto the chemisorbed layer to form the desired silicon dioxide film.

Method for forming silicon dioxide film using siloxane

Provided is a method of forming a fine pattern, in which a silicon oxide layer is formed on a photoresist pattern and dry etching is performed on the resultant structure. According to the method, a photoresist pattern is formed on a material layer on which a fine pattern is to be formed, a silicon oxide layer is conformally deposited on the photoresist pattern without damaging the photoresist pattern, and dry etching is performed on a lower layer. During the dry etching, spacers are formed along the sidewalls of the photoresist pattern, and then, a polymer layer is formed on the photoresist pattern. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the thinning of the photoresist pattern so that a desired pattern can be obtained, and further, to prevent striation or wiggling from occurring on the patterned material layer.

Method of forming fine patterns using silicon oxide layer

Provided are a semiconductor device having an etch stopper formed of a nitride film by low temperature atomic layer deposition which can prevent damage to a semiconductor substrate and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. Damage to the semiconductor substrate under the etch stopper composed of a second nitride film can be prevented by forming a first nitride film using high temperature LPCVD on the semiconductor substrate, forming the etch stopper including the second nitride film by low temperature ALD on the first nitride film, and removing the second nitride film by dry etching, thus taking advantage of the different etch selectivities of the first nitride film and the second nitride film.
