20120012922 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. Upon forming source or drain at a lower part of the pillar pattern, a silicon oxide layer (barrier layer) is formed inside the pillar pattern to prevent the pillar pattern from being electrically floated. Furthermore, impurities are diffused to a vertical direction (longitudinal direction) of the pillar pattern to overlay junction between the semiconductor substrate and source or drain formed at a lower part of the pillar pattern that leads to improvement of a current characteristic. | 01-19-2012 |

20120168854 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METOD FOR FORMING THE SAME - A semiconductor device and a method for forming the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a first junction region formed at the bottom of a vertical pillar, a bit line formed below the first junction region, and an insulation film formed below the bit line. As a result, the 4F2-sized semiconductor device is provided and the bit line is configured in the form of a laminated structure of a conductive layer and a polysilicon layer, so that bit line resistance is reduced. In addition, the semiconductor device reduces ohmic contact resistance by forming silicide between the conductive layer and the polysilicon layer, and includes an insulation film at a position between the semiconductor substrate and the bit line, resulting in reduction of bit line capacitance. Therefore, the sensing margin of the semiconductor device is increased and the data retention time is also increased. | 07-05-2012 |
20130130455 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - According to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a buried gate, after a recess is formed by etching a semiconductor substrate, since an etching back process is not performed on a gate electrode material buried within the recess, variability in the depth of the gate electrode material can be reduced. In addition, GIDL can be improved by a selective oxidation process and control of a thickness of a spacer and data retention time can be increased. | 05-23-2013 |
