Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an SOI substrate and an anti-fuse element formed on the SOI substrate. The SOI substrate has a p type well region formed on a main surface side of a support substrate and an SOI layer formed on the p type well region via a BOX layer. The anti-fuse element has a gate electrode formed on the SOI layer via agate insulating film. The anti-fuse element constitutes a storage element, and a first potential is applied to the gate electrode and a second potential of the same polarity as the first potential is applied to the p type well region in a write operation of the storage element.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of detecting occurrence of a Hi-K disappearance is provided. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a step of manufacturing a test pattern including a reference resistance, a gate leakage resistance through which a gate leakage current flows and connected in series with the reference resistance, and a step of measuring a change in voltage at a connection node between the reference resistance and the gate leakage resistance caused by the flow of the gate leakage current.
Abstract:
The TSV technology has been popular as one of stacking technologies of a plurality of semiconductor chips. It has however been revealed by the present inventors that when TSV is formed using a so-called first via process, via middle process, front-via via last process, or the like, there is a possibility of defects such as gate breakdown occurring due to electrostatic breakdown in the subsequent process. In order to overcome the above problem, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, in which a through via electrode is formed by forming a hole in a semiconductor substrate, forming an insulating member in the hole, and burying a conductive member in the resulting hole while covering a portion of the hole except for the bottom portion with the insulating member.
