摘要:
Regions having different impurity concentrations are formed in the main surface region of the semiconductor substrate. Accordingly, when the substrate is oxidized, oxide films having different thickness are formed. More specifically, the oxide film is formed more deeply on the surface region of the substrate having a high impurity concentration in which ions are injected than on the surface region in which no ions are injected. In the etching step, since the thinner oxide film is removed while the thicker oxide film remains, the surface of the region under the thinner oxide film is exposed, and thus a contact hole is formed. If, in the step of forming a contact hole, a portion of the thinner oxide film is covered by a resist pattern, only the regiion of the oxide film which is not masked by the resist pattern is etched and the substrate surface thereunder is exposed, and thus a contact hole is formed.

First and second wirings are formed on a first insulating film. Each of the wirings is arranged so that a conductive film, a silicon oxide film and a silicon nitride film are laminated. Thereafter, a silicon oxide insulating film is formed on the whole surface. The silicon oxide insulating film is etched so that a contact hole is formed between the first and second wirings. Since the silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film exist on the conductive film of each wiring, the conductive film is not exposed at the time of etching. Thereafter, an insulating film is formed on a side wall of the contact hole, and the conductive film exposed through the contact hole is covered by the insulating film.

Silicon oxide layers are provided in a substrate. That part of the silicon oxide layer which is located in a memory cell section MC has a thickness. That part of the silicon oxide layer which is located in a peripheral circuit section PC has a thickness, which is less than the thickness. The memory cell section MC has transistors, each having a source region and a drain region which contact the silicon oxide layer. The peripheral circuit section PC has transistors, each having a source region and a drain region which are spaced apart from the silicon oxide layer.

According to the present invention, a lower electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate and overgrows upward to form one electrode of a capacitor having a mushroom-shaped section. An insulation film is formed so as to at least cover the lower electrode. An upper electrode is formed so as to oppose the lower electrode and to cover at least the insulation film.

In one-transistor.one-capacitor type dynamic memory cell, cell capacitor with a reduced junction leakage current comprises a MOS capacitor which is provided between a semiconductor substrate and a charge storage electrode disposed at a side wall of a trench through a first insulating film, and a stacked capacitor which is provided between the charge storage electrode and a capacitor plate electrode formed on a second insulating film covering the entire surface of the charge storage electrode. The equivalent silicon dioxide thickness of the first insulating film is thicker than that of the second insulating film, and the storage capacitance of the cell capacitor is rendered by a sum of the capacitance of the MOS capacitor and the capacitance of the stacked capacitor because these capacitors are electrically connected in parallel with each other.

A Phospho Silicate Glass layer is used for an insulation layer between a lower wiring layer including a refractory metal silicide and an upper wiring layer in a semiconductor device of a multilevel interconnection structure. A reflow treatment is performed on the Phospho Silicate Glass layer using steam. A part of the lower wiring layer is oxidized during the reflow treatment, and the resistivity of the lower wiring layer is simultaneously lowered during the reflow treatment.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed which includes a step of forming contact holes in insulating films on a substrate, forming a silicate glass layer containing an impurity over the entire surface, and performing the phosphorus getter treatment using POCl.sub.3 at a high temperature. Even when the phosphorus getter treatment is performed after the formation of the contact holes, the substrate or electrodes exposed through the contact holes may not be reduced in thickness or damaged. The impurity may be diffused into the substrate from the silicate glass layer through the contact holes.
