A semiconductor device can include a substrate with a first source/drain and a second source/drain in the substrate. A first ohmic contact pattern can be in an uppermost surface of the first source/drain, where the first ohmic contact pattern includes a first semiconductor alloyed with a first metal. A second ohmic contact pattern can be in an uppermost surface of the second source/drain, where the second ohmic contact pattern includes a second semiconductor that is different than the first semiconductor and is alloyed with a second metal that is different than the first metal.

Semiconductor devices

Provided are semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing the same. The methods include providing a substrate including a first region and a second region, forming first mask patterns in the first region, and forming second mask patterns having an etch selectivity with respect to the first mask patterns in the second region. The first mask patterns and the second mask patterns are formed at the same time.

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing the same

A method of forming a variable resistive memory device includes forming a conductive pattern that alternates with a first insulation pattern along a first direction on a substrate that is parallel with a surface of the substrate, forming a preliminary sacrificial pattern on the conductive pattern that contacts a sidewall of the first insulation pattern, etching the conductive pattern using the preliminary sacrificial pattern as an etch masks to form a preliminary bottom electrode pattern, patterning the preliminary sacrificial pattern and the preliminary bottom electrode pattern to form a sacrificial pattern and a bottom electrode pattern that each include at least two portions which are separated from each other along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and replacing the sacrificial pattern with a variable resistive pattern.

Methods of forming variable resistive memory devices

According to example embodiments, a variable resistance memory device include an ohmic pattern on a substrate; a first electrode pattern including a first portion that has a plate shape and contacts a top surface of the ohmic pattern and a second portion that extends from one end of the first portion to a top; a variable resistance pattern electrically connected to the first electrode pattern; and a second electrode pattern electrically connected to the variable resistance pattern, wherein one end of the ohmic pattern and the other end of the first portion are disposed on the same plane.

Variable resistance memory devices and methods of manufacturing the same

Methods of forming a variable-resistance memory device include patterning an interlayer dielectric layer to define an opening therein that exposes a bottom electrode of a variable-resistance memory cell, on a memory cell region of a substrate (e.g., semiconductor substrate). These methods further include depositing a layer of variable-resistance material (e.g., phase-changeable material) onto the exposed bottom electrode in the opening and onto a first portion of the interlayer dielectric layer extending opposite a peripheral circuit region of the substrate. The layer of variable-resistance material and the first portion of the interlayer dielectric layer are then selectively etched in sequence to define a recess in the interlayer dielectric layer. The layer of variable-resistance material and the interlayer dielectric layer are then planarized to define a variable-resistance pattern within the opening.
