Even when a contact hole is formed before thin-film resistor formation, a contact area exposed in the contact hole is prevented from damaging. A semiconductor element is formed in a silicon semiconductor substrate and an oxide film is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Then, a contact hole is formed on the oxide film and moreover, a CrSiN film serving as a thin-film resistor and a TiW film serving as a barrier metal are formed on the oxide film. The TiW film is patterned by a mask and the CrSiN film is patterned through chemical dry etching. Finally, an Al electrode is formed on the semiconductor element and the CrSiN film through the contact hole and moreover a protective film is formed thereon.

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.

A semiconductor device is provided which makes a high withstand voltage bipolar transistor small and prevents deterioration in a switching speed of the transistor. A silicon oxide layer is formed on a silicon substrate, and a semiconductor island of one conductivity type which is isolated laterally by an isolation trench is formed on the silicon oxide layer. A silicon oxide film is formed on an outer periphery portion of the semiconductor island to bury the trench. In the semiconductor island, a bipolar transistor, namely a base region of the other conductivity type, is formed, and in the base region an emitter region of one conductivity type is formed and a collector region of one conductivity type is further formed. In the semiconductor island a diffusion region of the other conductivity type for extracting excessive carriers to which a constant electric potential is applied is further formed.

A dielectric isolated type semiconductor device which can achieve a reduction in crystalline defects by means of a simple production process is provided. High-concentration regions are formed as active regions on a surface portion of an islandish semiconductor region which is isolated from an adjacent semiconductor region by means of an isolation trench. According to a first aspect of the present invention, an N type crystalline defect suppression region doped at a high concentration and deeper than the high-concentration regions is formed over the entire surface of an adjacent semiconductor region. According to a second aspect of the present invention, a high-concentration N type crystalline defect suppression region is provided on a surface portion of a P type high-concentration region is formed with identical structure and by an identical production process. By means of these N type regions, crystalline defects are reduced.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a thin-film resistor trimmed by laser. The semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate having an element region that covers at least part of the surface of the semiconductor substrate, a first insulation film disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a second insulation film disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate through an opening of the first insulation film. The opening is formed by selectively removing at least part of the first insulation film at a location on the surface of the semiconductor substrate where the element region is not involved. The thin-film resistor is formed on the second insulation film.
