摘要:
In semiconductor devices, a semiconductor device is provided which is high in reliability while suppressing changes in characteristics such as threshold voltages. In a semiconductor device which has a gate dielectric film above a semiconductor substrate and also has above the gate dielectric film a gate electrode film made of silicon germanium chosen as its main constituent material, or alternatively in a semiconductor device which has beneath the gate dielectric film a channel made of silicon as its main constituent material and which has below the channel a channel underlayer film made of silicon germanium as its main constituent material, a specifically chosen dopant, such as cobalt (Co) or carbon (C) or nitrogen (N), is added to the gate electrode and the channel underlayer film, for use as the unit for suppressing diffusion of germanium in the gate electrode or in the channel underlayer film.

The metal layers embedded into the contact holes of various kinds in shape are used as the lines and are employed as the lines for controlling the substrate bias. The first-layer metal line layers are made thin so as to be also employed as the lines for controlling the substrate bias. Moreover, the second-layer metal line layers are employed as the copper line layers. Thereby, a semiconductor integrated circuit which allows a high-speed and low-power operation is provided with a small area and without increasing the number of the masks.
摘要:
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.

摘要:
Diffusion layers 2-5 are formed on a silicon substrate 1, and gate dielectric films 6, 7 and gate electrodes 8, 9 are formed on these diffusion layers 2-5 so as to be MOS transistors. Zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide is used as a major component of gate dielectric films 6, 7. Gate dielectric films 6, 7 are formed, for example, by CVD. As substrate 1, there is used one of which the surface is (111) crystal face so as to prevent diffusion of oxygen into silicon substrate 1 or gate electrodes 8, 9. In case of using a substrate of which the surface is (111) crystal face, diffusion coefficient of oxygen is less than {fraction (1/100)} of the case in which a silicon substrate of which the surface is (001) crystal face is used, and oxygen diffusion is controlled. Thus, oxygen diffusion is controlled, generation of leakage current is prevented and properties are improved. There is realized a semiconductor device having high reliability and capable of preventing deterioration of characteristics concomitant to miniaturization.
