摘要:
The invention provides a nonvolatile semiconductor device, or the like. According to the fabrication process of the present invention, silica glass containing boron or phosphorous is used as a material of high absorbency, which is treated in the vapor phase HF atmosphere and, therefore, selective etching of silica glass, only, of high absorbency becomes possible so that a void area can be formed beneath the fin of the floating gate. Accordingly, the absolute value of the parasitic capacitance between the floating gate and the substrate is decreased. In addition, the degree of the fluctuation of the parasitic capacitance due to the manufacturing process can be restricted to a low level. Accordingly, a nonvolatile semiconductor device of high performance can be gained without lowering the yield.

The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an isolation insulator, a gate electrode, a coating film, an interlayer insulation film, and a sidewall coating film. The semiconductor substrate has a main surface. The isolation insulator is formed at the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and isolates a conductive region. The gate electrode is formed in the conductive region. The coating film is formed on the isolation insulator, and it has a sidewall and a film thickness of at most that of the gate electrode.

The front surface of a semiconductor substrate is formed with a trench. An insulating film is formed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate including the trench while the bottom of the trench is kept at a higher temperature than the surface opening of the trench. To this end, the back surface of the semiconductor substrate is kept at a higher temperature than the front surface. This is done by heating the back surface of the semiconductor substrate with a halogen lamp. Alternatively, the front surface temperature is made lower than the back surface temperature by blowing a gas for forming an insulating film against the front surface of the semiconductor substrate.

A vibrating electrode plate 24 that senses a sound pressure faces a counter electrode plate 25 to constitute a capacitance type acoustic sensor. In the counter electrode plate 25, acoustic perforations 31 are opened in order to pass vibration, and plural projections 36 are provided on a surface facing the vibrating electrode plate 24. An interval between the projections 36 is decreased in a region where the vibrating electrode plate 24 has high flexibility to easily generate local sticking with the counter electrode plate 25. The interval between the projections 36 is increased in a region where the vibrating electrode plate 24 has low flexibility to hardly generate local sticking with the counter electrode plate 25. The projections thus arranged prevent firm fixing of the vibrating electrode plate to the counter electrode plate and interruption of vibration of the vibrating electrode plate.
