A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming gate structures spaced apart from each other on a substrate, gate spacers covering sidewalls of the gate structures, and an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate spacers, forming a contact hole that penetrates the interlayer insulating layer to expose a sidewall of at least one of the gate spacers, forming a sacrificial gap-fill pattern filling a lower portion of the contact hole, forming a contact spacer on a sidewall of the contact hole having the sacrificial gap-fill pattern, and forming a contact filling the contact hole after removing the sacrificial gap-fill pattern.

Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor device

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching a stack of first-material layers and second-material layers alternately disposed one on another on a substrate. An upper portion of the stack is etched using an end point detection (EPD) signal of an etching reaction gas, and a function of an injection time of an etchant with respect to a depth of an opening is obtained while the upper portion of the stack is etched. A lower portion of the stack is etched using the obtained function.

Method of fabricating semiconductor device

Provided are a method and a system for managing semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The method may be performed using an equipment computer and may include ordering to perform a preventive maintenance to a chamber and parts in the chamber, monitoring a result of the preventive maintenance to the chamber and the parts, and performing a manufacturing process using plasma reaction in the chamber, if the result of the preventive maintenance is normal. The monitoring the result of the preventive maintenance may include a pre-screening method monitoring the result of the preventive maintenance using electric reflection coefficients obtained from the chamber and the parts without using the plasma reaction.

Method and system managing execution of preventative maintenance operation in semiconductor manufacturing equipment

An endpoint detection device, a plasma reactor with the endpoint detection device, and an endpoint detection method are provided. The endpoint detection device includes an OES data operation unit, a data selector, a product generator, an SVM, and an endpoint determiner. The OES data operation unit processes reference OES data by normalization and PCA. The data selector selects part of the linear reference loading vectors and selects part of the selected linear reference loading vectors. The product generator outputs at least one reference product value. The SVM performs regression and outputs a prediction product value. The endpoint determiner detects a process wafer etch or deposition endpoint and outputs a detection signal.
