摘要:
In forming five trenches buried with an intermediate conductive layer for connecting transfer MISFETs and driving MISFETs with vertical MISFETs formed thereover, in which the second and third trenches, and the first, fourth, and fifth trenches are formed separately by twice etching using first and second photoresist films as a mask. Since all the trenches can be formed at a good accuracy even in a case where the shortest distance between the first trench and the second or third trench, and the shortest distance between the second or third trench and the fourth trench is smaller than the resolution limit for the exposure light, the distance between each of the five trenches arranged in one identical memory cell can be reduced to be smaller than resolution limit for the exposure light.
摘要:
The gate tunnel leakage current is increased in the up-to-date process, so that it is necessary to reduce the gate tunnel leakage current in the LSI which is driven by a battery for use in a cellular phone and which needs to be in a standby mode at a low leakage current. In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, the ground source electrode lines of logic and memory circuits are kept at a ground potential in an active mode, and are kept at a voltage higher than the ground potential in an unselected standby mode. The gate tunnel leakage current can be reduced without destroying data.

A discharge tube lighting apparatus includes a converter that converts a voltage received from an alternating-current or direct-current power supply into a predetermined direct-current voltage and an inverter that converts an output voltage of the converter into an alternating-current voltage having a predetermined frequency. The inverter performs burst control based on an externally input dimming signal. The converter operates regardless of the active or inactive period of the burst control of the inverter and performs negative feedback control in response to a detection signal of a tube current in the active period of the inverter.

A semiconductor substrate having a main surface, first and second floating gates formed spaced apart from each other on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, first and second control gates respectively located on the first and second floating gates, a first insulation film formed on the first control gate, a second insulation film formed on the second control gate to contact the first insulation film, and a gap portion formed at least between the first floating gate and the second floating gate by achieving contact between the first insulation film and the second insulation film are included. With this, a function of a nonvolatile semiconductor device can be ensured and a variation in a threshold voltage of a floating gate can be suppressed.

In order to improve the soft error resistance of a memory cell of an SRAM without increasing its chip size in deep through-holes formed by perforating a silicon oxide film, there is a silicon nitride film and a silicon oxide film, a capacitor element having a TIN film serving as a lower electrode. This capacitor element is connected between a storage node and a supply voltage line, between a storage node and a reference voltage line, or between storage nodes of the memory cell of the SRAM.

摘要:
In a semiconductor chip A wherein an element layer 2 having transistors and the like is formed on the front face, and the back face is joined to an underlying member, such as a package substrate, the thickness T is made 100 μm or less, and thereafter, a gettering layer 3 is formed on the back face of the semiconductor chip A. The gettering layer 3 is formed, for example, by polishing the back face of said semiconductor chip A using a polishing machine. Thereby, the yield of devices can be improved in the step for assembling the package.
