摘要： The memory capacity of a DRAM is enhanced. A semiconductor memory device includes a driver circuit including part of a single crystal semiconductor substrate, a multilayer wiring layer provided over the driver circuit, and a memory cell array layer provided over the multilayer wiring layer. That is, the memory cell array overlaps with the driver circuit. Accordingly, the integration degree of the semiconductor memory device can be increased as compared to the case where a driver circuit and a memory cell array are provided in the same plane of a substrate containing a singe crystal semiconductor material.

摘要： A TFT formed on an insulating substrate source, drain and channel regions, a gate insulating film formed on at least the channel region and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film. Between the channel region and the drain region, a region having a higher resistivity is provided in order to reduce an Ioff current. A method for forming this structure comprises the steps of anodizing the gate electrode to form a porous anodic oxide film on the side of the gate electrode; removing a portion of the gate insulating using the porous anodic oxide film as a mask so that the gate insulating film extends beyond the gate electrode but does not completely cover the source and drain regions. Thereafter, an ion doping of one conductivity element is performed. The high resistivity region is defined under the gate insulating film.

摘要： A driver circuit for use with a passive matrix or active matrix electro-optical display device such as a liquid crystal display is fabricated to occupy a reduced area. A circuit (stick crystal) having a length substantially equal to the length of one side of the matrix of the display device is used as the driver circuit. The circuit is bonded to one substrate of the display device, and then the terminals of the circuit are connected with the terminals of the display device. Subsequently, the substrate of the driver circuit is removed. The driver circuit can be formed on a large-area substrate such as a glass substrate, while the display device can be formed on a lightweight material having a high shock resistance such as a plastic substrate.

摘要： In a conventional DRAM, when the capacitance of a capacitor is reduced, an error of reading data easily occurs. A plurality of cells are connected to one bit line MBL_m. Each cell includes a sub bit line SBL_n_m and 4 to 64 memory cells (a memory cell CL_n_m—1 or the like). Further, each cell includes selection transistors STr1_n_m and STr2_n_m and an amplifier circuit AMP_n_m that is a complementary inverter or the like is connected to the selection transistor STr2_n_m. Since parasitic capacitance of the sub bit line SBL_n_m is sufficiently small, potential change due to electric charge in a capacitor of each memory cell can be amplified by the amplifier circuit AMP_n_m without an error, and can be output to the bit line.

摘要： In a transistor including an oxide semiconductor, hydrogen in the oxide semiconductor leads to degradation of electric characteristics of the transistor. Thus, an object is to provide a semiconductor device having good electrical characteristics. An insulating layer in contact with an oxide semiconductor layer where a channel region is formed is formed by a plasma CVD method using a silicon halide. The insulating layer thus formed has a hydrogen concentration less than 6×1020 atoms/cm3 and a halogen concentration greater than or equal to 1×1020 atoms/cm3; accordingly, hydrogen diffusion into the oxide semiconductor layer can be prevented and hydrogen in the oxide semiconductor layer is inactivated or released from the oxide semiconductor layer by the halogen, whereby a semiconductor device having good electrical characteristics can be provided.

摘要： A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising thin-film transistors in each of which the second wiring is prevented from breaking at steps. A silicon nitride film is formed on gate electrodes and on gate wiring extending from the gate electrodes. Substantially triangular regions are formed out of an insulator over side surfaces of the gate electrodes and of the gate wiring. The presence of these substantially triangular side walls make milder the steps at which the second wiring goes over the gate wiring. This suppresses breakage of the second wiring.

摘要： In thin film transistors (TFTs) having an active layer of crystalline silicon adapted for mass production, a catalytic element is introduced into doped regions of an amorphous silicon film by ion implantation or other means. This film is crystallized at a temperature below the strain point of the glass substrate. Further, a gate insulating film and a gate electrode are formed. Impurities are introduced by a self-aligning process. Then, the laminate is annealed below the strain point of the substrate to activate the dopant impurities. On the other hand, Neckel or other element is also used as a catalytic element for promoting crystallization of an amorphous silicon film. First, this catalytic element is applied in contact with the surface of the amorphous silicon film. The film is heated at 450 to 650° C. to create crystal nuclei. The film is further heated at a higher temperature to grow the crystal grains. In this way, a crystalline silicon film having improved crystallinity is formed.
