摘要:
The DRAM according to the present invention comprises so-called cylindrical stacked type capacitors. Each of the cylindrical stacked type capacitors comprises a base portion extending flat on an insulation layer and a surface of a substrate, and a cylindrical portion extending vertically and upwardly from the base portion. Then, the cylindrical portion vertically and upwardly protrudes from an outermost peripheral position of the base portion. As a result, an area where electrodes of the capacitor and capacitance of the capacitor can be increased. Furthermore, with a bit line located below an electrode layer of the capacitor, adjacent capacitors above the bit line can be isolated. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bit line contact from defining an isolation distance between the capacitors. Furthermore, an isolating layer patterned by etching is used as an isolating region between the capacitors and a lower electrode of the capacitor is formed along a surface of the isolating layer to form an isolation region between the adjacent capacitors. In addition, the lower electrode of the cylindrical stacked type capacitor is integrally formed by using a step formed in the insulation layer. As a result, the manufacturing step is simplified.

A capacitor includes a polycrystalline silicon layer 1 as a lower electrode layer, a dielectric layer 112, and a polycrystalline silicon layer 113 as an upper electrode layer. The dielectric layer 112 is formed by an oxynitride film 2, a silicon nitride film 3 and a top oxide film 4. A film thickness t.sub.3 of the top oxide film 4 is controlled to be less than 20 .ANG.. Capacitance of the capacitor can be increased while improving the duration of life of the dielectric layer, resulting in a highly reliable capacitor.

A semiconductor device incloudes a MOS type field effect transistor whose gate electrode (4) has its surface covered with a first insulating film (5) and left and right sides provided with a pair of second insulating films (10). A first conductive layer (12, 13) is formed on the surface of the source/drain region (8, 11) and the surface of one of a pair of second insulating films (10) which are positioned on one side of the gate electrode (4). A third insulating film (24b) is formed at least on the surface of the second insulating film (10) on which the first conductive layer (12, 13) is not formed. A second conductive layer (18) is provided on the surface of the third insulating film (24b) and on the source/drain region (8, 11) on which the third insulating film (24b) is formed. This structure enables provision of a semiconductor device in which a contact hole can be formed in self-alignment, independent from the influence of errors in the step of patterning a resist mask.

An MIS-type semiconductor device comprises PSD structure and LDD structure. The LDD structure comprises high concentration impurity regions formed by thermally diffusing impurities which have been contained in source/drain electrode conductive layers made of polysilicon onto a semiconductor substrate, and low concentration impurity regions formed through ion implantation using resist patterned on channel regions and the source/drain electrode conductive layers as mask. A gate electrode is formed, after formation of the low concentration impurity regions, to cover them and have its edges overlap the source/drain electrode conductive layers. The LDD structure suppresses the short channel effects which might be caused in the MIS-type semiconductor device and thus enables channels length to be miniaturized while the PSD structure enables also miniaturization of source/drain structure.
摘要:
First, second, third and fourth impurity regions are formed on a major surface of a semiconductor substrate with prescribed spaces, to define first, second and third channel regions in portions held between the same. A select gate is formed on the first channel region through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the first and second impurity regions. A part of a control gate is formed on the third channel region through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the third and fourth impurity regions. A floating gate is formed on the second channel region and parts of the select gate and the control gate through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the second and third impurity regions. Both end portions of the floating gate are inwardly separated from upper positions of respective outer ends of parts of the select gate and the control gate, in order to improve an effect of shielding the floating gate against a fourth impurity region. Another part of the control gate is formed on the floating gate through an insulating film. The first impurity region is connected to a bit line and the fourth impurity region is connected to a source region respectively.
摘要:
In erasing, electrons are simultaneously injected into floating gates from sources of a plurality of memory cells. Thus, the threshold voltages of the plurality of memory cells are increased. In programming, electrons are emitted from a floating gate of a selected memory cell to a drain. Thus, the threshold voltage of the selected memory cell is reduced.
摘要:
The width of a charge storage electrode and a control electrode in the column direction is set to be wider above an element isolation region than that above a channel region. Therefore, the capacitance between the control electrode and the charge storage electrode can be increased to improve the coupling ratio in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. Also, a first interconnection layer is equal in height above the control electrode and above the channel region, so that patterning of the first interconnection layer can be carried out easily and precisely.
摘要:
A memory cell of 1 bit is constituted by 1 selecting transistor and 1 memory transistor in an EEPROM. One of the source-drain regions is commonly used by the selecting transistor and the memory transistor. The commonly used source-drain region is manufactured through the following steps. First, a gate electrode of the transistor is formed. An oxide film is deposited on the entire surface. A resist is applied thereon and is etched back to expose a surface of the oxide film on the gate electrode. Thereafter, the oxide films deposited on the side surfaces of the gate electrode are removed to form opening portions. Impurities are implanted to the silicon substrate utilizing the opening portions.
