Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit production method prepares an SOI layer thickness database that correlates measurement data of each SOI layer thickness with each SOI substrate identification data. The production method extracts the measurement data for each SOI substrate from the SOI layer thickness database, and carries out layer thickness adjustment surface treatment for the SOI substrates based on these data. A semiconductor integrated circuit production device includes an SOI layer thickness database storage unit for storing the SOI layer thickness database, and a layer thickness adjustment conditions control unit for extracting the measurement data for each SOI substrate from the SOI layer thickness database and deciding conditions for the layer thickness adjustment surface treatment based on these data. The semiconductor integrated circuit production device also includes a surface treatment unit that adjusts SOI layer thickness by carrying out the surface treatment on the SOI layers in accordance with the decided conditions.

Abstract:
The present invention adequately activates a substrate contact region of a support substrate without substantially changing the conventional SOI-CMOS device formation process. An exposed face of the support substrate is formed in an element isolation region of a layered substrate, which includes a support substrate having a first semiconductor layer, an insulating layer provided on the support substrate, and a second semiconductor layer provided on the insulating layer, by etching away the insulating layer and the second semiconductor layer. A substrate contact region is then formed in the support substrate by performing ion implantation from the side of the exposed face of the support substrate. Thereafter, an element isolation insulation layer is formed on the exposed face of the support substrate and a gate oxide film and a gate electrode are formed on the remaining second semiconductor layer. In addition, drain and source regions are formed by performing the ion implantation to the remaining second semiconductor layer with the gate electrode serving as a mask. Annealing to activate the substrate contact region, the drain region and the source region is then performed. Thereafter, a metal layer with a high melting point is formed on the drain and source regions and the metal layer is silicided through heat treatment.
Abstract:
The dependency of threshold voltage on adjusted bias voltage is varied between N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs. A support substrate, an insulating layer on the support substrate, and island-shaped first and second silicon layers separately formed on the insulating layer; a first MOSFET formed of a fully depleted SOI where a first channel part is formed in a first silicon layer; and a second MOSFET formed of a partially depleted SOI where a second channel part is formed in a second silicon layer, the second MOSFET configures a complementary MOSFET with the first MOSFET, are provided. The threshold voltage of the second MOSFET formed of the partially depleted SOI is hardly varied because of a neutral region in the second channel part, although bias voltage is applied to the support substrate to vary the threshold voltage of the first MOSFET formed of the fully depleted SOI.
