[0122] The first via hole VH1 may penetrate the first insulating pattern 111 and the underlying lower insulating film 50 to expose the landing pad PLP of the peripheral circuit structure PS, and the first trench T1 may be connected to the first via hole VH1 in the first insulating pattern 111. The bottom surface of the first trench T1 may be spaced apart from the bottom surface of the semiconductor film 100.
[0123] The first via hole VH1 may penetrate the first insulating pattern 111 and the underlying lower insulating film 50 to expose the landing pad PLP of the peripheral circuit structure PS, and the first trench T1 may be connected to the first via hole VH1 in the first insulating pattern 111. The bottom surface of the first trench T1 may be spaced apart from the bottom surface of the semiconductor film 100.
[0124] The third via hole VH3 may penetrate the buried insulating film 110 and the lower insulating film 50 thereunder to expose the landing pad PLP of the peripheral circuit structure PS, and the third trench T3 may be connected to the third via hole VH3 within the buried insulating film 110.
[0125] The fourth via hole VH4 may penetrate the buried insulating layer 110 and the underlying lower insulating layer 50 to expose the landing pad PLP of the peripheral circuit structure PS, and the fourth trench T4 may expose the semiconductor layer 100 and be connected to the fourth via hole VH4 within the buried insulating layer 110. Forming the fourth trench T4 may include sequentially etching the support conductive layer, the second buffer insulating layer 105, the lower sacrificial layer 103, and a portion of the first buffer insulating layer 101. In addition, when forming the fourth trench T4, a portion of the buried insulating layer 110 may be etched, and a dent may be formed in a region adjacent to the semiconductor layer 100.
[0126] As shown in FIG. 5, the fourth trench T4 may include a first portion extending in a first direction D1 in the cell array region CAR and a second portion extending in a second direction D2.
[0127] Referring to Figures 5, 29A, and 29B, first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3 may be formed in the first, second, and third via holes VH1, VH2, and VH3 and the first, second, and third trenches T1, T2, and T3, and a metal structure MRS may be formed in the fourth via hole VH4 and the fourth trench T4.
[0128] Forming the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3 and the metal structure MRS may include sequentially depositing a barrier metal film and a metal film in the first to fourth via holes VH1 to VH4 and the first to fourth trenches T1 to T4, and performing a planarization process on the barrier metal film and the metal film so that the top surface of the support conductive film is exposed.
[0129] In the fourth trench T4, the barrier metal film may be in direct contact with a portion of the semiconductor film 100, and the metal material in the barrier metal film may react with the silicon in the semiconductor film 100 to form a metal-semiconductor compound layer MSC.
[0130] 5, 30A, and 30B, a mold structure PST may be formed on a support conductive layer SP, in which upper sacrificial layers SL and insulating layers ILD are vertically alternately stacked. The mold structure PST may have a stepped structure in a first connection region CNR1.
[0131] In the mold structure PST, the upper sacrificial layer SL may be formed of a material that has etch selectivity with respect to the insulating layer ILD and can be etched. For example, the upper sacrificial layer SL may be formed of a different insulating material from the insulating layer ILD. The upper sacrificial layer SL may be formed of the same material as the lower sacrificial layer 103. For example, the upper sacrificial layer SL may be formed of a silicon nitride layer, and the insulating layer ILD may be formed of a silicon oxide layer.
[0132] After forming the mold structure PST, a planar insulating film 120 may be formed on the buried insulating film 110 to cover the stepped structure of the mold structure PST.
[0133] Subsequently, vertical structures VS may be formed that penetrate the mold structure PST.
[0134] Forming the vertical structures VS may include anisotropically etching the mold structure PST, the support conductive layer SP, and the lower sacrificial layer 103 to form vertical holes penetrating the mold structure PST, the support conductive layer SP, and the lower sacrificial layer 103, and sequentially depositing a data storage pattern (DSP of FIG. 14) and a vertical semiconductor pattern (VP of FIG. 14) in each vertical hole. During the anisotropic etching process for forming the vertical holes, over-etching may occur up to the top surface of the semiconductor layer 100, and the lower portions of the vertical structures VS may be located within the semiconductor layer 100.
[0135] The data storage pattern DSP may conformally cover the inner wall of the vertical hole with a uniform thickness. The data storage pattern DSP may include a tunneling insulating layer, a charge storing layer, and a blocking insulating layer, which are sequentially stacked.
[0136] A vertical semiconductor pattern VP may be formed in the vertical hole in which the data storage pattern DSP is formed, and a bit line conductive pad may be formed on the upper end of the vertical semiconductor pattern VP.
[0137] 5, 31A, and 31B, after forming the vertical structures VS, a first interlayer insulating film 130 covering the upper surfaces of the vertical structures VS may be formed on the planar insulating film 120. Isolation trenches SR may be formed through the mold structure PST and the support conductive layer SP to expose the lower sacrificial layer 103. The isolation trenches SR may be parallel to the first direction D1 and may have different lengths in different regions.
[0138] After forming the isolation trenches SR, a process of replacing the first buffer insulating layer 101, the lower sacrificial layer 103, and the second buffer insulating layer 105 with the source conductive pattern SC may be performed.
[0139] The process of forming the source conductive pattern SC may include performing an isotropic etching process on the lower sacrificial layer 103 exposed in the isolation trench and the first and second buffer insulating layers 101 and 105. During the isotropic etching process, a portion of the data storage pattern (DSP of FIG. 14) may also be isotropically etched to expose a portion of the vertical semiconductor pattern (VP of FIG. 14). After exposing the portion of the vertical semiconductor pattern (VP of FIG. 14), a polycrystalline silicon layer doped with impurities may be deposited to form the source conductive pattern SC. Thus, a source structure CST may be formed between the semiconductor layer 100 and the mold structure PST.
[0140] After forming the source structure CST, the stack structure ST described above can be formed by replacing the upper sacrificial layer SL with the electrode GE. Forming the stack structure ST can include isotropically etching the upper sacrificial layer SL using an etching recipe having etching selectivity with respect to the insulating film ILD, the vertical structure VS, and the source structure CST. During the isotropic etching process on the upper sacrificial layer SL, portions of the upper sacrificial layer SL remain, forming first and second mold patterns MP1 and MP2.
[0141] 5, 32A, and 32B, after forming the stack structure ST, an insulating material may be filled into the isolation trench SR to form first, second, and third isolation structures SS1, SS2, and SS3.
[0142] 5, 33A, and 33B, a second interlayer insulating film 140 may be formed on the first interlayer insulating film 130, and a cell contact plug CPLG connected to the stack structure ST may be formed.
[0143] Subsequently, first to fourth through plugs TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 may be simultaneously formed. The first to fourth through plugs TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 may include metal and / or metal nitride.
[0144] 7, 8, and 9, lower and upper contact plugs LCT, UCT, and connecting conductive patterns ICT may be formed in the third and fourth interlayer insulating layers 150 and 160. Bit lines BL and conductive lines CL may be formed on the fourth interlayer insulating layer.
[0145] Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described. For the sake of simplicity, a description of the same technical features as those in the previously described method for manufacturing a semiconductor device may be omitted, and differences between the embodiments will be described.

Therefore, the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3 and the metal structure MRS may be simultaneously formed. Here, the top surfaces of the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3 and the metal structure MRS may be located at substantially the same level as the top surface of the second buffer insulating layer 105 or the top surface of the lower sacrificial layer 103.
[0153] 36A and 36B, the first buffer insulating layer 101, the lower sacrificial layer 103, and the second buffer insulating layer 105 may have openings that expose portions of the semiconductor layer 100 in the cell array region CAR.
[0154] After forming the opening, a support conductive layer SP may be deposited to a uniform thickness on the second buffer insulating layer 105. After forming the support conductive layer SP, a third insulating pattern 115 may be formed penetrating the support conductive layer SP. The third insulating pattern 115 may be disposed on the first and second insulating patterns 111 and 113 and the buried insulating layer 110.
[0155] 37A and 37B, the mold structure PST, the buried insulating layer 110, and the vertical structure VS, which have been described above with reference to FIGS. 30A and 30B, may be formed on the support conductive layer.
[0156] Next, as described with reference to Figures 31A and 31B, a process of replacing the lower sacrificial layer 103 with a source conductive pattern SC may be performed, and during an isotropic etching process on the lower sacrificial layer 103 to form the source conductive pattern SC, portions of the lower sacrificial layer 103 and the first and second buffer insulating layers 101 and 105 may remain around the first insulating pattern 111.
[0157] Thereafter, as described with reference to FIGS. 31 and 32, the stacked structure ST, the cell contact plug CPLG, and the first to fourth through plugs TP1 to TP4 can be formed.
[0158] 38A to 41A and 38B to 41B are cross-sectional views illustrating methods for manufacturing semiconductor devices according to various embodiments of the present invention.
[0159] 38A and 38B, the via holes VH1 to VH4 and the trenches T1 to T4 may be formed before the first buffer insulating film 101, the lower sacrificial film 103, and the second buffer insulating film 105 are formed.
[0160] In detail, after forming the semiconductor film 100 on the lower insulating film 50, first and second insulating patterns 111, 113 may be formed in the first and second through holes TOP1, TOP2 penetrating the semiconductor film 100, and a buried insulating film 110 covering the sidewalls of the semiconductor film 100 may be formed on the lower insulating film 50.
[0161] Subsequently, via holes VH1 to VH4 exposing the landing pads PLP of the peripheral circuit structure PS, and trenches T1 to T4 connected to the via holes may be formed. The via holes VH1 to VH4 and the trenches T1 to T4 may be formed by patterning the first and second insulating patterns 111, 113, the buried insulating film 110, and a portion of the lower insulating film 50. As described above, the via holes VH1 to VH4 and the trenches T1 to T4 may include the first, second, third, and fourth via holes VH1 to VH4 and the first, second, third, and fourth trenches T1 to T4.
[0162] 39A and 39B, a barrier metal layer and a metal layer may be sequentially formed in the via holes VH1 to VH4 and the trenches T1 to T4, and the barrier metal layer and the metal layer may be planarized to expose the second buffer insulating layer 105 or the lower sacrificial layer 103. Therefore, the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3, and the metal structure MRS may be simultaneously formed. Here, the top surfaces of the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3, and the metal structure MRS may be located at substantially the same level as the top surface of the semiconductor layer 100.
[0163] Referring to Figures 40A and 40B, a first buffer insulating film 101, a lower sacrificial film 103, and a second buffer insulating film 105 may be stacked in sequence on the semiconductor film 100, the first, second, and third pad patterns LP1, LP2, and LP3, and the metal structure MRS.
[0164] After forming an opening that penetrates the first buffer insulating film 101, the lower sacrificial film 103, and the second buffer insulating film 105 to expose a portion of the semiconductor film 100, a support conductive film SP can be deposited to a uniform thickness on the second buffer insulating film 105.
[0165] After forming the support conductive film SP, a third insulating pattern 115 may be formed through the support conductive film SP. The third insulating pattern 115 may be disposed on the first and second insulating patterns 111 and 113 and the buried insulating film 110.

[0168] Then, as described with reference to FIGS. 32A and 32B, a process of replacing the lower sacrificial layer 103 with the source conductive pattern SC may be performed.
