In a supercritical fluid method a supercritical fluid is supplied into a process chamber. The supercritical fluid is discharged from the process chamber as a supercritical fluid process proceeds. A concentration of a target material included in the supercritical fluid discharged from the process chamber is detected during the supercritical fluid process. An end point of the supercritical fluid process may be determined based on a detected concentration of the target material.

Substrate processing method and substrate processing system for performing the same

In a vertical-type non-volatile memory device, an insulation layer pattern is provided on a substrate, the insulation layer pattern having a linear shape. Single-crystalline semiconductor patterns are provided on the substrate to make contact with both sidewalls of the insulation layer pattern, the single-crystalline semiconductor patterns having a pillar shape that extends in a vertical direction relative to the substrate. A tunnel oxide layer is provided on the single-crystalline semiconductor pattern. A lower electrode layer pattern is provided on the tunnel oxide layer and on the substrate. A plurality of insulation interlayer patterns is provided on the lower electrode layer pattern, the insulation interlayer patterns being spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance along the single-crystalline semiconductor pattern. A charge-trapping layer and a blocking dielectric layer are sequentially formed on the tunnel oxide layer between the insulation interlayer patterns. A plurality of control gate patterns is provided on the blocking dielectric layer between the insulation interlayer patterns. An upper electrode layer pattern is provided on the tunnel oxide layer and on the uppermost insulation interlayer pattern.
