Semiconductor device including semiconductor layer having impurity
region and method of manufacturing the same
摘要:
A semiconductor device capable of effectively preventing a dielectric breakdown of a gate oxide film without adversely affecting the characteristics of a transistor and a process of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device comprises a SOI film 2 whose upper angular parts are rounded off by sputter etching and a gate oxide film 3 formed on SOI film 2 with an almost uniform thickness. Therefore, electric field concentration in the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 is reduced. Furthermore, the control characteristics of the transistor are enhanced by the uniform gate oxide film 3. As a result, a dielectric breakdown of the gate oxide film is effectively prevented without adversely affecting the characteristics of the transistor. Sputter etching enabling processing at a low temperature is used, so that the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 are rounded off without adversely affecting a semiconductor element formed in the lower layer.
