摘要:
According to a semiconductor device of the present invention, a field oxide film is formed so as to cover the main surface of an SOI layer and to reach the main surface of a buried oxide film. As a result, a pMOS active region of the SOI and an nMOS active region of the SOI can be electrically isolated completely. Therefore, latchup can be prevented completely. As a result, it is possible to provide a semiconductor device using an SOI substrate which can implement high integration by eliminating reduction of the breakdown voltage between source and drain, which was a problem of a conventional SOI field effect transistor, as well as by efficiently disposing a body contact region, which hampers high integration, and a method of manufacturing the same.

A T-RAM array having a planar cell structure is presented which includes a plurality of T-RAM cells. Each of the plurality of T-RAM cells is fabricated by using doped polysilicon to form a self-aligned diffusion region to create a low-contact resistance pnull diffusion region. A silicided pnull polysilicon wire is preferably used to connect each of the plurality of the T-RAM cells to a reference voltage Vref. A self-aligned junction region is formed between every two wordlines by implanting a nnull implant into a gap between every two wordlines. The self-aligned junction region provides for a reduction in the T-RAM cell size from a cell size of 8F2 for a prior art T-RAM cell to a cell size of less than or equal to 6F2. Preferably, the T-RAM array is built on a semiconductor silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer to reduce junction capacitance and improve scalability.

A method of minimizing parasitics in an MOS device caused by the formation of a bipolar transistor within the MOS devices and the device, primarily for a polyphase bridge circuit. For the low side device, a substrate of a first conductivity type is provided having a first buried layer of opposite conductivity type thereon. A second buried layer of the first conductivity type is formed over the first buried layer and a further layer of the first conductivity type is formed over the second buried layer. A sinker extending through the further layer to the first buried layer is formed to isolate the second buried layer and the further layer from the substrate. Formation of an MOS device in the further layer including source, drain and gate regions is completed and the sinker is connected to a source terminal of the device. The second buried layer is formed either by coimplanting a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant with one of the dopant having a higher diffusion rate than the other or by implanting and diffusing one of the two dopants first to form one layer and then implanting and diffusing the other dopant to form the second layer. The preferred dopants are boron as the p-type dopant and antimony as the n-type dopant.
