摘要:
A first concave portion for the element isolation, a second concave portion for an aligning mark, and a third concave portion for an anti-fuse portion are formed simultaneously within a silicon substrate. After a silicon oxide film is formed on the entire surface, the silicon oxide film positioned within the second and third concave portions is removed. Then, a gate insulating film is formed on the entire surface, followed by forming a polysilicon film on the gate insulating film. Further, these polysilicon film and gate insulating film are selectively removed to form a gate electrode above an element region, an aligning mark portion in the second concave portion, and a gate electrode for an anti-fuse portion on the bottom surface of the third concave portion.
摘要:
Semiconductor device structures, and methods for making such structures, are described that provide for fully-doped transistor source/drain regions while reducing or even avoiding boron penetration into the transistor channel, thereby improving the performance of the transistor. In addition, such a transistor may benefit from an SiGe layer that applies compressive stress to the transistor channel, thereby further improving the performance of the transistor.

First and second wirings are formed on a first insulating film. Each of the wirings is arranged so that a conductive film, a silicon oxide film and a silicon nitride film are laminated. Thereafter, a silicon oxide insulating film is formed on the whole surface. The silicon oxide insulating film is etched so that a contact hole is formed between the first and second wirings. Since the silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film exist on the conductive film of each wiring, the conductive film is not exposed at the time of etching. Thereafter, an insulating film is formed on a side wall of the contact hole, and the conductive film exposed through the contact hole is covered by the insulating film.

Methods and apparatus are described that reduce the possibility that unintended subway short-circuits will occur between contacts of different potentials along the boundary between tensile and compressive liners (the T-C boundary). This may be done without unduly increasing the size of the semiconductor device, or even increasing the size at all over previous designs. For example, simply by adjusting the layout of the device, the contacts of two different common gates may be offset in opposing directions relative to the T-C boundary. Or, by forming a T-C boundary having a zigzag or other similar pattern, the contacts may be arranged even closer together while still reducing the likelihood of short-circuiting subways forming. Such layout adjustments do not otherwise require any additional steps or cost.

A device, and method for manufacturing the same, including a PFET having an embedded SiGe layer where a shallow portion of the SiGe layer is closer to the PFET channel and a deep portion of the SiGe layer is further from the PFET channel. Thus, the SiGe layer has a boundary on the side facing toward the channel that is tapered. Such a configuration may allow the PFET channel to be compressively stressed by a large amount without necessarily substantially degrading extension junction characteristics. The tapered SiGe boundary may be configured as a plurality of discrete steps. For example, two, three, or more discrete steps may be formed.

In a method of fabricating a COB DRAM cell, a polysilicon plug is formed on the source and drain in self-alignment with the gate electrode. A bit line contact and a storage electrode contact are formed on the polysilicon plug thereby to reduce the aspect ratio of both the bit line contact and the storage electrode contact. With the polysilicon plug formed in self-alignment with the gate electrode, short-circuiting of contacts of adjacent element regions and short-circuiting of the plugs of the source and drain will not occur, leading to high protection against misregistration. Moreover, an independent lithography process is not required for forming the polysilicon plug, and, therefore, the number of fabrication steps is reduced.

This invention provides a capacitor including a metal lower electrode having an undulated shape and an improved electrode area, and a method of manufacturing the same. A capacitor for data storage is formed on a semiconductor substrate (not shown) via an insulating interlayer having a contact plug. The capacitor has a lower electrode whose inner and outer surfaces are rough or undulated such that one surface has a shape conforming to the shape of the other surface, a dielectric film formed to cover the surfaces of the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed to cover the lower electrode via the dielectric film. The lower electrode has a cylindrical shape with an open upper end. The lower electrode is connected to a cell transistor through the contact plug. The lower electrode is formed from a metal or a metal oxide.
