    摘要: In a MIS transistor, the top surfaces of source/drain regions (S/D diffusion layers) formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 are arranged nearer to a gate electrode than a channel plane on the semiconductor substrate, and the top surfaces of the source/drain regions are arranged nearer than the channel plane than the interface between a gate insulator film provided on the upper side of the channel plane and the gate electrode. In this transistor, a groove is selectively formed in the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a polycrystalline silicon deposited in the groove may be used as a mask to form impurity diffusion layers serving as source/drain regions to laminate and form a gate insulator film of a high dielectric film and a gate electrode. Alternatively, the polycrystalline silicon may be selectively formed to be used as a mask to elevate and form the impurity diffusion layer to laminate and form the gate insulator film and the gate electrode. Thus, it is possible to achieve both of the reduction of the resistance of the S/D diffusion layers and the reduction of the gate parasitic capacitance.

    摘要: A MOS dynamic random access memory includes a plurality of pairs of bit lines, and word lines transverse to the bit lines to define cross points, at which an array of memory cells are arranged. Each cell has a storage capacitor and a transfer gate MOS transistor having a gate electrode coupled to a word line and being connected between the capacitor and a bit line. Sense amplifier circuits are connected to the bit line pairs, and have a first and a second common source line. A decoder and a word line driver are connected to the word lines. AMOS transistor is connected between the power supply voltage and the first common source line, for selectively supplying it with a first voltage which potentially defines a high-level voltage for the bit line pairs. A voltage generator is connected through a MOS transistor to the second common source line, for generating a second voltage which potentially defines a low-level voltage for the bit line pairs, and which is selectively supplied to the second common source line. The second voltage is greater in potential than the ground potential, which is employed as a source voltage.

    摘要: A dynamic random-access memory has bit-line pairs, word lines intersecting with the bit-line pairs, and memory cells arranged at the intersections of the bit-line pairs and the word lines, and sense amplifiers provided for the bit-line pairs, respectively. One of every two neighboring bit-line pairs is twisted at one portion, thus forming a twisted crossing section. The twisted crossing section is made of the parts of the gate electrodes of the transistors incorporated in the sense amplifier connected to the twisted bit-line pair. The bit-line pairs is twisted at a portion substantially middle with respect to the direction in which it extends, and the sensr amplifier associated with this bit-line pair is located at the twisted portion thereof.
