摘要:
External resistance Rsd1 is obtained using a first evaluation pattern of MOSFETs having a gate contact length Lgc1 and a channel width W1 each (in steps 100 and 102). External resistance Rsd2 is then acquired by use of a second evaluation pattern of MOSFETs having a gate contact length Lgc2 and a channel with W2 each (in steps 100 and 104). Thereafter, sheet resistance Rsh and overlapping portion resistance Rdsw of the MOSFETs are computed (in step 106) in accordance with the following expressions: Rsh=(W2Rsd2−W1·Rsd1)/(Lgc2−Lgc1) Rdsw=(W1Lgc2·Rsd1−W2·Lgc1·Rsd2)/(Lgc2−Lgc1)
摘要:
Provided are a semiconductor device in which a MOS transistor of SAC structure and a MOS transistor of salicide structure are provided together, and a method of manufacturing the same. Each gate electrode (3) of gate structures (GT11 to GT13) is covered with an upper nitride film (4) and sidewall nitride film (5). Therefore, when an interlayer insulating film (10) being oxide film is selectively removed for forming contact holes (CH1 and CH2), the upper nitride film (4) and sidewall nitride film (5) are not removed, thereby preventing the gate electrode (3) from being exposed. Particularly, in the gate structures (GT11 and GT12), even when the contact hole (CH1) is dislocated to either side, no short-circuit is developed between a conductor layer (CL1) and the gate electrode (3). Thus, the gate structures (GT11 and GT12) can be disposed without being restricted by the alignment margin of the contact hole (CH1), and the distance between the gates can be reduced for attaining high integration.

A second interconnection layer is formed on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, contains a material having low electrical resistance than the material contained in the first interconnection layer, and has longer line length than the first interconnection layer. A second insulator is formed to surround the second interconnection layer and has a dielectric constant higher than the first insulator.

A semiconductor device of the invention has a plurality of resistor elements formed on an element isolating oxide film in predetermined regions on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. Active regions are furnished close to the resistor elements. This allows the element isolating oxide film near the resistor elements to be divided into suitable strips, forestalling a concave formation at the center of the element isolating oxide film upon polishing of the film by CMP and thereby enhancing dimensional accuracy of the resistor elements upon fabrication.

To provide a semiconductor device with reduced parasitic capacity in the vicinity of gate electrodes, and a method for manufacturing such a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode formed on a silicon semiconductor substrate 1 through a gate oxide film, and a pair of impurity diffusion layers formed on the surface region of the silicon semiconductor substrate at both sides of the gate electrode. A silicon nitride film acting as a sidewall spacer is formed so as to cover the sidewall of the gate electrode, and the silicon nitride film is allowed to extend to the surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 in the vicinity of the gate electrode in a substantially L-shaped profile.

摘要:
The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array for storing a plurality of data on a word basis, a data input-output device and a read control device. The data input-output device includes a plurality of data holding circuits corresponding to one word. The data of one word is divided into a plurality of subwords. The read control device brings to an active state any one of a plurality of control signals corresponding to the plurality of subwords in response to an externally applied subword selection signal. The data holding circuit corresponding to one subword is thereby activated. As a result, any subword among the data of one word held in the data holding circuit is rewritten with a corresponding subword among the data of one word read from the memory cell array.
