摘要:
The following steps are carried out: forming a gate electrode on a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween, forming a dummy gate electrode on the semiconductor substrate with a dummy gate insulating film interposed therebetween and forming another dummy gate electrode on the semiconductor substrate with an insulating film for isolation interposed therebetween; forming a metal film on the semiconductor while exposing the gate electrode and covering the dummy gate electrodes; and subjecting the semiconductor substrate to heat treatment and thus siliciding at least an upper part of the gate electrode. Since the gate electrode is silicided and the dummy gate electrodes are non-silicided, this restrains a short circuit from being caused between the gate electrode and adjacent one of the dummy gate electrodes.

A semiconductor device includes a first conductor and a second conductor electrically connected to each other to have the same potential. At least one of the first and second conductors has a fully silicided (FUSI) structure. A step having an overhang is formed at least at part of a boundary between the first and second conductors.

In an interconnection mask pattern generation, there are suppressed a decrease in reliability of an interconnection and a decrease in manufacture yield, which are resulted from use of an interconnection pattern generated with single minimum line width data for a semiconductor device or the like. When a layout interconnection pattern on a mask for an interconnection which connects functional elements to each other being arranged based on logical circuit data is generated, an interconnection pattern based on the minimum line width data is generated, an interconnection pattern based on the minimum line spacing data is also generated, and an interconnection pattern arranging a new interconnection boundary in the middle of both of them is then generated to be used as a final interconnection pattern, so that the interconnection pattern width becomes properly thick in width, thereby making it possible to improve reliability of the interconnection and suppress a decrease in manufacturing yield.

On a semiconductor substrate of P-type silicon, an active area including a channel forming region with a smaller dimension along the gate width and a source region and a drain region extending along the gate length is formed so as to be surrounded with an isolation area of an insulating oxide film. On the isolation area on the semiconductor substrate and the channel forming region of the active area, a gate electrode is formed with a gate insulating oxide film sandwiched therebetween. A channel lower insulating layer is formed, out of the same insulating oxide film for the isolation area, merely in an area below the channel forming region below the gate electrode in the active area of the semiconductor substrate.

A semiconductor device includes: an isolation region formed in a semiconductor substrate; an active region surrounded by the isolation region; and a first gate electrode formed on the isolation region and the active region and including a first region on the isolation region. The first region has a pattern width in a gate length direction larger than a pattern width of the first gate electrode on the active region. The first region includes a part having a film thickness different from a film thickness of the first gate electrode on the active region.

A semiconductor device includes a first field-effect transistor including a first gate electrode and a second field-effect transistor including a second gate electrode. The first gate electrode and the second gate electrode are integrated using a connecting portion and are fully silicided with a metal in such a manner that the fist and second gate electrodes have different metal contents. A diffusion preventing film for preventing the metal from diffusing between the first and second gate electrodes is formed in at least a portion of the connecting portion.

When charges Q (x, y) transferred from an image inputting device 1 are to be converted into first signal intensities S′ (x, y) and signal processing is to be performed for the first signal intensity S′ (x, y) of a particular pixel, a maximum value Smax, a minimum value Smin and an average value Save are calculated from signal intensities S′ (x−1, y) and S′ (x+1, y) at adjacent pixels. When S′ (x, y)>Smax×A is satisfied, it is determined that the signal intensity S (x, y) at the particular pixel=Save×C (where A and C are coefficients), whereas when S′ (x, y)
