Method of fabricating semiconductor device

Abstract

In one example embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes various steps. First, an isolation film is formed on a semiconductor substrate to define a field region and an active region. Then, a stack gate structure is formed. Next, a first photoresist and a second photoresist are sequentially formed on the stack gate structure. Then, a patterning process is performed to remove the second photoresist in a source line region. Next, a patterning process is performed to remove the first photoresist in the source line region, to thereby expose the isolation film. Then, the exposed isolation film is removed to expose the semiconductor substrate in the source line region. Finally, a cell source ion implantation process is performed using the patterned second photoresist as an ion injection mask to form a source line having impurity ions implanted thereto in the semiconductor substrate of the source line region.
