摘要:
A technology for a semiconductor integrated circuitry allows each of the DRAM memory cells to be divided finely so as to be more highly integrated and operate faster. In a method of manufacturing such a semiconductor integrated circuit, at first, gate electrodes 7 are formed via a gate insulating film 6 on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate 1, and on side surfaces of each of the gate electrodes there is formed a first side wall spacer 14 composed of silicon nitride and a second side wall spacer 15 composed of silicon oxide. Then, in the selecting MISFET Qs in the DRAM memory cell area there are opened connecting holes 19 and 21 in a self-matching manner with respect to the first side wall spacers 14 and connecting portion is formed connecting a conductor 20 to a bit line BL. In addition, in the N channel MISFETs Qn1 and Qn2, and in the P channel MISFET Qp1 in areas other than the DRAM memory cell area, high density N-type semiconductor areas 16 and 16b are formed, as well as a high density P-type semiconductor area 17 is formed in a self-matching manner with respect to the second side wall spacers 15.

A nonvolatile storage element of a single-layer gate type structure is arranged so that a floating gate is formed of a conductive layer which partly overlaps with a control gate, formed of a diffused layer, and is provided with a barrier layer covering a part of or the whole surface of the floating gate. Nonvolatile storage elements characterized as such are used for redundancy control of defects or change of functions.

A semiconductor device having an electrically erasable and programmable nonvolatile memory, for example, a rewritable nonvolatile memory including memory cells arranged in rows and columns and disposed to facilitate both flash erasure as well as selective erasure of individual units of plural memory cells. The semiconductor device which functions as a microcomputer chip also has a processing unit and includes an input terminal for receiving an operation mode signal for switching the microcomputer between a first operation mode in which the flash memory is rewritten under control of a processing unit and a second operation mode in which the flash memory is rewritten under control of separate writing circuit externally connectable to the microcomputer.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a one-chip microcomputer having a nonvolatile memory circuit to and from which write and read operations are carried out at high speed in keeping with the cycle time of the processor. Part of the memory circuit is set aside as a read-only area for accommodating a data processing program, and the rest of the memory is used to write and read data thereto and therefrom. With no need to optimize the assignments of the ROM and RAM parts in the memory circuit, the one-chip microchip is easy to design and manufacture with high productivity. With the program storage area established as desired, users enjoy more convenience use of the one-chip microcomputer than before.
摘要:
A thin film forming apparatus using laser includes a chamber (1), a target (5) placed therein, a laser light source (10) for emitting laser beam to target (5), and a substrate holder (3). When target (5) is irradiated with laser beam (16), a plume (15) is generated, and materials included in plume (15) are deposited on the surface of a substrate (2) held by substrate holder (3). The laser beam emitted from laser light source (10) has its cross section shaped to a desired shape when passed through a shielding plate (4804), for example, so that the surface of the target (5) is irradiated with the beam having uniform light intensity distribution. Therefore, a plume (15) having uniform density distribution of active particles is generated, and therefore a thin film of high quality can be formed over a wide area with uniform film quality, without damaging the substrate.
摘要:
A silicon nitride film is left behind on only regions for forming the gate electrodes (word lines) of memory-cell selecting MISFETs constituting a DRAM, and it is not left behind on either of the gate electrodes of MISFETs constituting a logic LSI and those of MISFETs constituting the memory cells of an SRAM. Thereafter, the gate electrodes (word lines) in the DRAM and the gate electrodes in the logic LSI and the SRAM are simultaneously patterned by etching which employs the silicon nitride film and a photoresist film as a mask. Thus, in the manufacture of a semiconductor integrated circuit device wherein both the DRAM and the logic LSI are mounted, a contact hole forming process (gate-SAC) for the DRAM is made compatible with a contact hole forming process (L-SAC).

A single chip semiconductor integrated circuit device having a central processing unit (CPU) and a flash memory which stores data to be processed by the CPU and which provides data to the CPU through the data bus in response to accessing instructions from the CPU through the address bus. The flash memory is constituted by a plurality of memory blocks each of which has a plurality of electrically programmable nonvolatile memory cells arranged in rows and columns in which each nonvolatile memory cell is coupled to one of a plurality of word lines and one of a plurality of data lines of the flash memory. The memory blocks formed can be facilitated with different memory capacities, including through controlling the number of rows or columns of memory cells associated therewith. Sources of all of the memory cells within each memory block are connected to a single source line which is fed by a predetermined voltage from a corresponding one of plural source voltage control circuits, for flash erasing the memory cells in that memory block in an erasing operation. In accordance with another feature of the flash memory, a control register, included within a device and under the control of the CPU, is employed to control the erasing of data stored in one or more of the memory blocks, simultaneously.
摘要:
A single chip semiconductor integrated circuit device having a central processing unit (CPU) and a flash memory which stores data to be processed by the CPU and which provides data to the CPU through the data bus in response to accessing instructions from the CPU through the address bus. The flash memory is constituted by a plurality of memory arrays in which a plurality of word lines are commonly employed for all of the memory arrays and a plurality of data lines are distributed amongst the memory arrays. The nonvolatile memory cells are arranged in a manner in which plural memory blocks are formed. The memory blocks formed can be facilitated with different memory capacities. This is achieved by having one or more rows of memory cells associated with one or more word lines provided within a memory block. Sources of all of the memory cells within each memory block are connected to a single source line which is fed by a predetermined voltage for effecting simultaneous erasure of the memory cells therein from a corresponding one of plural source voltage control circuits. In accordance with another feature of the flash memory, individual ones of plural bit data are assigned to respective ones of the plural memory arrays.
