In order to provide a semiconductor integrated circuit device such as a high-performance semiconductor integrated circuit device capable of reducing a soft error developed in each memory cell of a SRAM, the surface of a wiring of a cross-connecting portion, of a SRAM memory cell having a pair of n-channel type MISFETs whose gate electrodes and drains are respectively cross-connected, is formed in a shape that protrudes from the surface of a silicon oxide film. A silicon nitride film used as a capacitive insulating film, and an upper electrode are formed on the wiring. A capacitance can be formed of the wiring, the silicon nitride film and the upper electrode.

A low threshold voltage NMIS area and a high threshold voltage PMIS area are set by a photoresist mask also used for well formation. Using a photoresist mask with openings for the NMIS and PMIS, the NMIS and PMIS areas are set by one ion implantation step. After gate oxidation, ion implantation is conducted through an amorphous silicon film onto wells, channels, and gate electrodes. A plurality of CMIS threshold voltages can be set and the gate electrodes of both polarities can be formed in a reduced number of steps using photoresist. This solves the problem in which photomasks are required as many as there are ion implantation types for wells, channel stoppers, gate electrodes, and threshold voltage control and hence the number of manufacturing steps and the production cost are increased.

A gate electrode of each MISFET is formed on a substrate in an active region whose periphery is defined by an element isolation trench, and crosses the active region so as to extend from one end thereof to the other end thereof. The gate electrode has a gate length in a boundary region defined between the active region and the element isolation trench which is greater than a gate length in a central portion of the active region. The gate electrode is configured in an H-type flat pattern. Further, the gate electrode covers the whole of one side extending along a gate-length direction, of the boundary region defined between the active region L and the element isolation trench, and parts of two sides thereof extending along a gate-width direction. The MISFETs are formed in electrically separated wells and are connected in series to constitute part of a reference voltage generating circuit.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device, e.g., a memory cell of an SRAM, is formed of a pair of inverters having their input and output points connected in a crisscross manner and being formed of drive n-channel MISFETs and load p-channel MISFETs. The n-channel MISFETs and p-channel MISFETs have their back gates supplied with power supply voltage and a ground voltage, respectively. The MISFETs are formed with a metal silicide layer on the gate electrodes G and source regions (hatched areas) and without the formation of a metal silicide layer on the drain regions, respectively, whereby the leakage current of the MISFETs due to a voltage difference between the drain regions and wells can be reduced, and, thus, the power consumption can be reduced.

Vertical MISFETs are formed over drive MISFETs and transfer MISFETs. The vertical MISFETs comprise rectangular pillar laminated bodies each formed by laminating a lower semiconductor layer (drain), an intermediate semiconductor layer, and an upper semiconductor layer (source), and gate electrodes formed on corresponding side walls of the laminated bodies with gate insulating films interposed therebetween. In each vertical MISFET, the lower semiconductor layer constitutes a drain, the intermediate semiconductor layer constitutes a substrate (channel region), and the upper semiconductor layer constitutes a source. The lower semiconductor layer, the intermediate semiconductor layer and the upper semiconductor layer are each comprised of a silicon film. The lower semiconductor layer and the upper semiconductor layer are doped with a p type and constituted of a p type silicon film.
摘要:
In forming five trenches buried with an intermediate conductive layer for connecting transfer MISFETs and driving MISFETs with vertical MISFETs formed thereover, in which the second and third trenches, and the first, fourth, and fifth trenches are formed separately by twice etching using first and second photoresist films as a mask. Since all the trenches can be formed at a good accuracy even in a case where the shortest distance between the first trench and the second or third trench, and the shortest distance between the second or third trench and the fourth trench is smaller than the resolution limit for the exposure light, the distance between each of the five trenches arranged in one identical memory cell can be reduced to be smaller than resolution limit for the exposure light.
