    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having on a silicon substrate semiconductor elements and aluminum (Al) alloy wiring leads as electrically connected thereto is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming on the silicon substrate an Al alloy layer containing therein copper (Cu), and forming on the Al alloy layer a titanium nitride (TiN) film with enhanced chemical reactivity by using sputtering techniques while applying thereto a DC power of 5.5 W/cm2 or less. Fabrication of such reactivity-rich TiN film on the Al alloy layer results in a reaction layer of Al and Ti being subdivided into several spaced-apart segments. In this case, the reaction layer hardly serves as any diffusion path; thus, it becomes possible to prevent Cu as contained in the Al alloy layer from attempting to outdiffuse with the reaction layer being as its diffusion path. This makes it possible to suppress or minimize unwanted fabrication of AlN on or above the surface of an Al containing lead pattern, thereby enabling increase in electromigration (EM) lifetime of electrical interconnect leads used.

    摘要: An MIS transistor fabricated in a manner that minimizes the occurrence of leak currents and that improves overall transistor performance by minimizing variation in location of the transistor source and drain during fabrication thereof. A gate electrode is first fabricated on a substrate. Next, a thermal oxide layer is formed on a side of the gate electrode. A masking process is then performed with the thermal oxide layer to form a source and a drain. A silicon oxide layer is then deposited over the gate electrode, the source and the drain. An etching process is performed on the silicon oxide to form a side wall oxide film over the thermal oxide layer on the side of the gate electrode and to expose surfaces of the gate electrode, the source and the drain. A metal film is then deposited over the gate electrode, the source and the drain and is heat treated to form a metal silicide film on the exposed surfaces of the gate electrode, the source and the drain. The side wall oxide film functions to disperse the metal silicide film as it is deposited to electrically separate the gate electrode, the source and the drain, thereby preventing a leakage current from occurring.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory cell having a structure having improved integration and simplified electrode wiring structure. The programmable non-volatile memory cell of the present invention adopts a mono-layer gate scheme to simplify the electrode wiring structure and to eliminate a current leakage problem of an insulating film between electrodes. A side and bottom of a semiconductor region, which is disposed directly below a capacity electrode section with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween that compose a control electrode, are isolated from another semiconductor region and semiconductor substrate by insulating films. Thus, a high programming control voltage which is not limited by a junction yield voltage between the semiconductor regions and semiconductor substrate may be applied. Due to that, an area of the capacity electrode section of a floating electrode may be considerably reduced.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide a closed battery capable of rapidly releasing the internal pressure thereof and at the same time disconnecting the current to effectively prevent itself from temperature rising and explosion so that it may assure the safety and reliability thereof, when the internal pressure is elevated due to short circuit, overcharge, reverse charge, or the like in such a completely closed battery. The formation of a valve element 5 whose center is eccentric to the center of a metal substrate 1 produces a slit 3 having a large width portion around the circumference of a valve element 5. When the internal pressure of a battery is elevated, the valve element 5 is smoothly raised up together with a metal foil 2 from the bending fulcrum portion 4 to thereby cut a lead wire 6 or permit a braze portion 8 to detach from the lead wire 6, thus reliably disconnecting the current. Then, the metal foil is allowed to burst stably and accurately at a prescribed pressure to thereby form a valve opening portion 7 so that the internal gas of the battery can be discharged. Thus, the battery can previously be prevented from exploding.

    摘要: Clad material comprises a metal substrate which is provided with a multiplicity of perforated openings therein and a metal foil which is laminated on the metal substrate to close the perforated openings. To produce such a clad material, at least one surface of the metal substrate and corresponding one surface of the metal foil are respectively subjected to a dry etching and the metal substrate and the metal foil are laminated in such a manner that the etched surfaces face each other. Alternately, only one surface of the metal substrate is subjected to a dry etching and the metal substrate and the metal foil are laminated in such a manner that the etched surface of the metal substrate defines a laminating surface. It may be possible to provide a nickel plating on the metal substrate or the metal foil. The clad material can be effectively used for producing safety valve chips which rupture accurately at low pressures which fall in a stable pressure range on a mass production basis.
