For an inspection tray, a silicon substrate including a beam or a diaphragm, a probe and wiring is used. To highly accurately position a chip to be inspected, a second substrate for alignment is disposed on the substrate. To position the probe having wiring disposed on the first substrate and the electrode pad of the chip to be inspected, a projection or a groove is formed in each of both substrates. Preferably, the projection or groove should be formed by silicon anisotorpic etching to have a (111) crystal surface. As another machining method, dry etching can be used for machining the positioning projection or groove. By using an inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) device for the dry etching, a vertical column or groove can be easily machined.

The object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device comprising an n-type channel field effect transistor and a p-type channel field effect transistor, which has a high degree of reliability and excellent drain current characteristics. The gist of the invention for attaining the object resides in disposing a silicon nitride film to the side wall of a trench for an active region in which the n-type channel field effect transistor is formed and disposing the silicon nitride film only in the direction perpendicular to the channel direction to the sidewall of the trench for the active region of the p-type channel field effect transistor. According to the present invention, a semiconductor device comprising an n-type channel field effect transistor and a p-type channel field effect transistor of excellent current characteristics can be provided.

The present invention provides a semiconductor device including n-channel field effect transistors and p-channel field effect transistors all of which have excellent drain current characteristics.In a semiconductor device including an n-channel field effect transistor 10 and a p-channel field effect transistor 30, a stress control film 19 covering a gate electrode 15 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10 undergoes film stress mainly composed of tensile stress. A stress control film 39 covering a gate electrode 15 of the p-channel field effect transistor 30 undergoes film stress mainly caused by compression stress compared to the film 19 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10. Accordingly, drain current is expected to be improved in both the n-channel field effect transistor and the p-channel field effect transistor. Consequently, the characteristics can be generally improved.

摘要:
A semiconductor device is provided including a circuit employing two or more field-effect transistor that are desired to have equal characteristics, capable of realizing high reliability and superior transistor characteristics. The transistors which are desired to have equal characteristics are placed in the semiconductor device so as to have the same STI trench width (the width of shallow trench isolation adjacent to an active area in which the transistor is formed). By such composition, stress growing in the active area due to the shallow trench isolation is equalized among the transistors, and, thereby, the characteristics of the transistors can be equalized.
