摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises the steps of defining a plurality of regions (A) on a substrate (2), exposing a first pattern (WL, BL) that extends over a plurality of such regions such that the first pattern is exposed on the plurality of regions simultaneously, and exposing a plurality of second patterns (21, 30) that are identical in size and shape and isolated from each other, consecutively for each of the plurality of regions.

An on-chip voltage regulator controls a gate of a regulator transistor (Q1) having a first terminal connectable to receive an external power supply voltage (V EXT ) and a second terminal connectable to an internal circuit formed on a chip on which the on-chip voltage regulator is formed. The regulator includes a clock receiving part (Q30) for receiving a predetermined clock signal related to an operation of the internal circuit, and a regulator part (i, Q26 - Q31) for generating a gate voltage (V G1 ) output to the gate of the regulator transistor on the basis of a state of the predetermined clock signal so that the regulator transistor can generate a substantially fixed internal voltage (V INT ) from the external power supply voltage irrespective of whether or not the internal circuit is operating.

A mask includes a transparent layer (2) which is transparent with respect to a light which is used for an exposure, and a mask pattern layer (5) which is formed on the transparent layer. At least a portion of the mask pattern layer (5) is made up solely of a phase shift layer (3a) for transmitting the light, so that a phase shift occurs between a phase of the light transmitted through the phase shift layer and a phase of the light transmitted through a portion of the mask having no phase shift layer.

A semiconductor memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate (1) of one conductivity type (p); a transistor (Tr) formed on the said substrate (1) and having a portion (92) serving as a source or drain, which portion is of the opposite conductivity type (n); and a storage capacitor (SC), comprising a first relatively conductive member consisting of a layer (5) provided on an inner surface region of a recess (4), formed in the said substrate (1), a dielectric layer (6) covering the said first conductive member (5) in the recess, and a second relatively conductive member (7) filling a remaining portion of the recess (4), so as to be surrounded by the said dielectric layer (6); there being an electrical connection between the said second conductive member (7) and the said portion (92) of the transistor (Tr). Such a memory device can reduce the occurrence of punch-through between adjacent storage (trench) capacitors and can reduce the possibility of soft errors.
