摘要:
The atmospheric pressure plasma etching apparatus is provided with a state detecting unit for detecting a state of the object to be processed, and the operation of the atmospheric pressure plasma etching apparatus is controlled in accordance with information detected by the state detecting unit. Thus, in the atmospheric pressure plasma etching apparatus, the object to be processed can be etched while the state of the object to be processed is detected. Accordingly, the object to be processed can be etched favorably. Further, an SOI substrate is manufactured using the atmospheric pressure plasma etching apparatus, whereby both reduction in manufacturing cost of the SOI substrate and suppression of peeling in the SOI substrate can be achieved.

A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising thin-film transistors in each of which the second wiring is prevented from breaking at steps. A silicon nitride film is formed on gate electrodes and on gate wiring extending from the gate electrodes. Substantially triangular regions are formed out of an insulator over side surfaces of the gate electrodes and of the gate wiring. The presence of these substantially triangular side walls make milder the steps at which the second wiring goes over the gate wiring. This suppresses breakage of the second wiring.

Described is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. A mask is formed over an insulating film and the mask is reduced in size. An insulating film having a projection is formed using the mask reduced in size, and a transistor whose channel length is reduced is formed using the insulating film having a projection. Further, in manufacturing the transistor, a planarization process is performed on a surface of a gate insulating film which overlaps with a top surface of a fine projection. Thus, the transistor can operate at high speed and the reliability can be improved. In addition, the insulating film is processed into a shape having a projection, whereby a source electrode and a drain electrode can be formed in a self-aligned manner.

摘要:
There is provided a method by which lightly doped drain (LDD) regions can be formed easily and at good yields in source/drain regions in thin film transistors possessing gate electrodes covered with an oxide covering. A lightly doped drain (LDD) region is formed by introducing an impurity into an island-shaped silicon film in a self-aligning manner, with a gate electrode serving as a mask. First, low-concentration impurity regions are formed in the island-shaped silicon film by using rotation-tilt ion implantation to effect ion doping from an oblique direction relative to the substrate. Low-concentration impurity regions are also formed below the gate electrode at this time. After that, an impurity at a high concentration is introduced normally to the substrate, so forming high-concentration impurity regions. In the above process, a low-concentration impurity region remains below the gate electrode and constitutes a lightly doped drain region.
