摘要:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, memory cells without a source region and a drain region, and a first insulating film. The memory cells are arranged adjacent to one another on the semiconductor substrate and include a first gate electrode including a charge accumulation layer. A current path functioning as a source region or a drain region of a selected memory cell is formed in the semiconductor substrate when a voltage is applied to the first gate electrode of one of unselected memory cells. The first insulating film is formed on the semiconductor substrate to fill a region between the first gate electrodes of the memory cells adjacent to each other.

A method of designing a wiring structure of an LSI is capable of reducing a capacitance variation ratio ΔC/C or a resistance-by-capacitance variation ratio Δ(RC)/(RC) of the wiring structure. The method sets a process-originated variation ratio (∈P) for the wiring structure, a tolerance (ξC) for the capacitance variation ratio (ΔC/C), and a tolerance (ξRC) for the resistance-by-capacitance variation ratio (Δ(RC)/(RC)), evaluates a fringe capacitance ratio (F=CF/CP) according to a fringe capacitance CF and parallel-plate capacitance CP of the wiring structure, and determines the wiring structure so that the fringe capacitance ratio (F) may satisfy the following: For Δ C C ≤ ξ C , F ≥ δ P ξ C - 1 ( 1 ) For Δ ( RC ) RC ≤ ξ RC , F ≤ ( 1 - δ P ) δ P δ P - ξ RC - 1 ( 2 ) The method employs an equivalent-variations condition defined as |ΔC/C|=|Δ(RC)/(RC)| to determine the shape parameters of each wire of the wiring structure.

A semiconductor device includes first, second, third, and fourth semiconductor regions, a gate electrode, and silicide layers. The first, second, and third semiconductor regions are formed in a semiconductor substrate while being spaced part from each other. The fourth semiconductor region is formed in the semiconductor substrate between the second semiconductor region and the third semiconductor region and has an electric resistance higher than the first, second, and third semiconductor regions. In a direction perpendicular to a direction to connect the first and second semiconductor regions, the fourth semiconductor region has a width smaller than that of the semiconductor substrate sandwiched between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. The gate electrode is formed above the semiconductor substrate between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. The silicide layer is formed on each of the first, second, third semiconductor regions and the gate electrode.

A structure of a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same is provided wherein a leakage current can be reduced while improving a drain breakdown voltage of an Insulated-Gate transistor such as a MOSFET, MOSSIT and a MISFET, and a holding characteristic of a memory cell such as a DRAM using these transistors as switching transistors can be improved, and further a reliability of a gate oxide film in a transfer gate can be improved. More particularly, a narrow band gap semiconductor region such as Si.sub.x Ge.sub.1-x, Si.sub.x Sn.sub.1-x, PbS is formed in an interior of a source region or a drain region in the SOI.IG-device. By selecting location and/or mole fraction of the narrow band gap semiconductor region in a SOI film, or selecting a kind of impurity element to compensate the crystal lattice mismatching due to the narrow-bandgap semiconductor region, the generation of crystal defects can be suppressed. Further the structure that the influences of the crystal defects to the transistor or memory characteristics such as the leakage current can be suppressed, even if the crystal defects are generated, are also proposed.
摘要:
A MOSFET comprises a silicon substrate 1 having a source/drain region 7b formed in a surface region thereof, an insulating film 3 formed of silicon oxide, and a gate electrode 4a. The side surface region of the electrode 4a is covered with an insulating film 6 formed of silicon nitride. The insulating film 6 has an extended portion interposed between the electrode 4a and the insulating film 3 in a manner to surround the lower corner portion 4b of the electrode. Since the insulating film 6 has a dielectric constant larger than that of the insulating film 3, it is possible to suppress the electric field intensity at the lower corner portion 4b of the electrode.
