摘要:
A semiconductor device in which ability for isolating elements from each other can be improved and increase in substrate constant and junction capacitance can be suppressed, is disclosed. An impurity layer for improving the ability for isolating elements is positioned only immediately below an isolating insulating film. An impurity layer for adjusting substrate constant and junction capacitance is formed through independent steps from the impurity layer for improving the isolating ability.

A semiconductor memory device and a manufacturing method of the same can effectively prevent deterioration of endurance characteristic which may occur in a data erasing operation, and a drain disturb phenomenon which may occur in a data writing operation. In the semiconductor memory device, an N-type impurity layer 3 is formed on a main surface of a P-type silicon substrate 1 located in a channel region. Thereby, a high electric field is not applied to a boundary region between the N-type impurity layer 3 and an N-type source diffusion region 10 during erasing of data, so that generation of interband tunneling in this region is effectively prevented. Also in this semiconductor memory device, the drain diffusion region 9 has an offset structure in which no portion thereof overlaps the floating gate electrode 5. Therefore, an electric field, which is generated across the floating gate electrode 5 and the drain diffusion region 9 in an unselected cell during writing of data, is weakened, as compared with the prior art, and the drain disturb phenomenon due to F-N tunneling is effectively prevented.

A semiconductor device having a reduced leakage current is fabricated in a short time at a low cost with excellent controllability. A buried layer (20) which includes a principal buried layer (21) of high ion concentration containing secondary defects (22) sandwiched between secondary buried layers (3a, 3b) of low ion concentration from upper and lower directions is formed on a semiconductor substrate (1). The secondary defects (22) have stable gettering effects for reducing defects caused during formation of a transistor (200) and contamination by heavy metals. Further, the secondary buried layers (3a, 3b) prevent depletion layers from reaching the secondary defects (22). The semiconductor device can be formed in a short time since no epitaxial growth is employed.

An element isolation region is formed in a silicon substrate by initially depositing an insulating film and first nitride film thereon, forming an opening therethrough exposing the substrate, and etching the substrate to form a groove. A polysilicon film and second nitride film are successively deposited, and the second nitride film is anisotropically etched to expose the polysilicon film at the bottom of the groove. The silicon substrate is then thermally oxidized using the first and second nitride films as a mask to form the element isolation region. In other embodiments, an oxide film is formed at the bottom of the groove prior or subsequent to deposition of the polysilicon film.

摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a p-type silicon substrate, a first well of p-type formed in a major surface of the silicon substrate, and a second well of n-type formed close to the first well in the major surface of the silicon substrate. A third well of p-type is formed inside the second well and, furthermore, a conductive layer including p-type impurities of higher concentration than that of the first well is formed as extending immediately below both the first well and the second well. In accordance with this structure, even if minority carriers are injected, they recombine and disappear in the conductive layer, so that the implantation of the carriers into the first well is prevented. As a result, various disadvantageous phenomena due to the injection of the minority carriers are prevented and a semiconductor device having a stable device characteristic and high integration density is provided.

摘要:
To form a silicide layer excellent in flatness, uniform in film thickness, and less in junction leak, by destroying the natural oxide film which adversely affects a formation of silicide layer of cobalt or nickel. A cobalt layer (7) is formed in a film thickness of 20 nm or less on an electrode layer (4A) of a gate electrode (4) and on source/drain diffusion layers (1, 2), and a nitrogen (8) is injected by the ion implantation at a density of about 1E15/cm.sup.3 with an injection energy of 10 keV or more. At this time, the nitrogens (8) destroy the natural oxide film existing in the interface of the cobalt layer (7) and electrode layer (4A), and in the interface of the cobalt layer (7) and the source/drain diffusion layers (1, 2), and distribute deeply into the electrode layer (4A) and the source/drain diffusion layers (1, 2). Later, by a silicide forming reaction of cobalt, a silicide layer (6) is formed. Since the natural oxide film does not exist, the silicide forming reaction proceeds uniformly. Instead of the nitrogen (8), fluorine or silicon may be also used.
