摘要:
In a semiconductor memory device such as a DRAM, a conductive film is arranged on the rim portion of a isolation insulating film in opposition to a semiconductor substrate with a thin insulating film in between. This conductive film is electrically connected to a lower electrode of a storage capacitor. This novel arrangement can control the location of electrical pn junction independently of the location of metallurgical pn junction, thereby realizing a semiconductor memory device having a long data retention time with the increase in leakage current suppressed.

A vertical bipolar transistor arrangement in which the distance between the emitter and the isolation region is kept within a range determined by the sum of emitter depth and base width (i.e., the thickness of the base in the depth direction). This keeps the carriers given by the emitter from getting trapped inside, thereby preventing the cut-off frequency from dropping.

Herein disclosed is a semiconductor device, especially, an MISFET which can ensure a high breakdown voltage and operate at a high speed. The semiconductor device according to the present invention reduces the sheet resistance by using an impurity region, which has an impurity concentration not exceeding 10.sup.20 cm.sup.-3, in a drain or source region and by forming a metal silicide layer on the surface of the impurity region. Moreover, the semiconductor device of the present invention is constructed such that the impurity concentration of an n-type drain or source region does not exceed 10.sup.20 cm.sup.-3 whereas the impurity concentration of a p-type drain or source region does not exceed 10.sup.19 cm.sup.-3 and such that at least one portion of the drain or source region is made of a metal silicide so that it can effectively protect the latch-up phenomenon which is caused when two or more semiconductor devices of different conductive type are integrated.

A higher-performance short channel MOS transistor with enhanced resistance to soft errors caused by exposure to high-energy rays is realized. At the time of forming a deep source/drain diffusion layer region at high density, an intermediate region of a density higher than that of impurity of a semiconductor substrate is formed between the source/drain diffusion layer and the semiconductor substrate of a conduction type opposite to that of the source/drain diffusion layer. The intermediate region is formed with a diffusion window for forming the source/drain, an intermediate layer of uniform concentration and uniform width can be realized at low cost.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a MOSFET formed on a single crystalline silicon layer in an SOI structure in which the silicon layer is laminated along with an insulator on a handle wafer. To prevent the body floating effect, a recombination center region is formed connecting to the lower surfaces of source and drain regions of the MOSFET. Consequently, the holes generated within the single crystalline silicon layer just beneath a channel of the MOSFET are injected into the recombination center region by way of the single crystalline silicon layer beneath the source diffusion region and eliminated so that the body floating effect is prevented.

A semiconductor device has an electrically insulating substrate and a semiconductor layer formed on the insulating substrate. A plurality of semiconductor regions are defined so as to be joined to each other to form at least two homojunctions in the semiconductor layer. A lead conductor for one of the semiconductor regions which is required to have a small thickness has a specific structure such that the lead conductor is in contact with the one semiconductor region at the main surface of the semiconductor layer for electrical connection therebetween and extends over that portion of the semiconductor layer which contributes to definition of at least one of the semiconductor regions other than the first-mentioned one semiconductor region.
