A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method including etching a portion of a substrate including a first region and a second region to form a device isolation trench; forming a device isolation layer defining active regions by sequentially stacking a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a third insulating layer on an inner surface of the device isolation trench; forming word lines buried in the substrate of the first region, the word lines extending in a first direction to intersect the active region of the first region, the word lines being spaced apart from each other; forming a first mask layer covering the word lines on the substrate of the first region, the first mask layer exposing the substrate of the second region; forming a channel layer on the substrate of the second region; and forming a gate electrode on the channel layer.

Semiconductor device and method of fabricating the same

Provided is a method of forming a semiconductor device. The method can include loading a semiconductor substrate into semiconductor equipment. A base layer can be formed on the loaded semiconductor substrate by performing a base deposition process using a base source material. A first silicon layer can be formed on the base layer to a greater thickness than the base layer by performing a first silicon deposition process using a silicon source material different from the base source material. A first nitrided silicon layer can be formed by nitriding the first silicon layer using a first nitridation process. The semiconductor substrate having the first nitrided silicon layer can be unloaded from the semiconductor equipment.

Method of forming semiconductor device

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming an etch-target layer on a substrate having an alignment key, forming a transparent first pattern on the etch-target layer to face the alignment key, forming an opaque second pattern on the etch-target layer to be adjacent to the first pattern, and etching the etch-target layer using the first pattern and the second pattern as an etch mask.
