摘要:
A DRAM according to the present invention comprises a memory cell array having memory cells constituted by one transfer gate transistor (10) and a capacitor (11), and a peripheral circuit having a MOS transistor (45a) with the LDD structure. At least the source/drain region (19) connected to the capacitor of the transfer gate transistor is formed of a low concentration impurity region (19a). The low concentration impurity region has an impurity concentration substantially equal to that of the low concentration source/drain region (31) of the LDD MOS transistor of the peripheral circuit. The low concentration/drain region of the transfer gate transistor is formed by masking the surface thereof at the time of the high concentration ion implantation step for high concentration source/drain formation of the MOS transistor of the peripheral circuit. By omitting the high concentration ion implantation step, the substrate deficiency of the source/drain region of the transfer gate transistor is eliminated to suppress leakage of the charge from the capacitor.

A 1-transistor type flash EEPROM is disclosed. The memory cell in the EEPROM includes a control gate formed on a silicon substrate with an insulating layer disposed between them, and a floating gate formed to extend over the upper face and one side face of the control electrode with an insulating layer disposed between them. Drain and source regions are created in the silicon substrate on the opposite sides of the control gate. The area in the silicon substrate under the control gate between the drain and source regions defines a channel region. In the EEPROM, an application of high-level voltage to the control gate and the drain region produces hot electrons in the vicinity of the opposite ends of the drain region which are driven into the floating gate across the insulating layer, causing the floating gate to store data-representing charge. The flash EEPROM has uniform characteristics among memory cells and reduced cell area for improved miniaturization.

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate (11) having first and second field effect transistors. Each transistor includes a gate electrode (17, 18) formed on the semiconductor substrate with a gate insulating film (15, 16) interposed therebetween. A first side wall spacer (21, 22) formed of one layer of an insulating film on opposite side wall surface of the gate electrode, and source/drain regions (19, 24, 26, 30), each comprising high and/or low impurity concentration regions of the gate electrode (17, 18) on the surface of the semiconductor substrate (11). A second side wall spacer (27, 28) formed of another layer of an insulating film formed at least one side wall surface of the gate electrode (17, 18) of at least said second transistor. The first and/or the second side wall spacers (21, 22, 27, 28) form diffusion masks for adjusting distribution of impurity concentration of the transistors. Due to this structure, the widths of the side wall spacers (21, 22, 27, 28) as diffusion masks which are responsive to required characteristics, are attained for respective side walls of the gate electrodes (17, 18). The semiconductor device of such structure is manufacutred by implanting impurity ions between the steps of forming the first and the second side wall spacers (21, 22, 27, 28) and each time covering prescribed region with a resist film (20, 23, 25, 29, 31, 33, 35).

摘要:
A method of forming a resist pattern on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate comprising the steps of exposing a resist to light and developing it to become a predetermined pattern, curing the surface of the resist pattern formed by the exposing and developing treatments by irradiating the surface with far ultraviolet rays having a short wavelength, and baking the resist pattern subjected to a light irradiation treatment. The light irradiation treatment is performed by irradiating the surface of the resist pattern, which is not shaded from light with the far ultraviolet rays, in a state in which a resist pattern region formed on a peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate is shaded from light. As a result, a crack can be prevented from forming on the resist of the peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate. A light irradiation apparatus used in the light irradiation treatment comprises shading means for selectively intercepting the irradiation light. The shading means prevent light irradiation onto the resist pattern of the peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
A silicon oxide film and a BPSG film are formed on a silicon substrate to serve as insulating films, and a contact hole is selectively formed in the insulating films. An impurity diffusion layer is formed on the surface layer of the semiconductor substrate at the bottom portion of the contact hole. A second metal film serving as a metal electrode is formed to cover the BPSG film and the impurity diffusion layer, and a first metal film serving as a barrier layer is formed between the second metal film and the BPSG film and impurity diffusion layer. The first metal film prevents boron contained in the BPSG film from being diffused in the second metal film, thereby to prevent precipitation of silicon in the contact hole.

A semiconductor memory device comprising memory cells having stacked capacitors has a stacked structure formed by the selective removal of a polycrystalline silicon film (15; 20) and a silicon oxide film (18a; 18), employing the same mask (14). A field effect transistor connected to a stacked capacitor has a gate electrode (20) formed of the above described polycrystalline silicon film. This polycrystalline silicon film (20) is formed on the major surface of a semiconductor substrate. The above described silicon oxide film (18) as an upper layer insulating film formed on the gate electrode (20) has a residual stress not more than 10.sup.9 dyn/cm.sup.2. No notches occur in the polycrystalline silicon film (20) in the process of selectively removing the polycrystalline silicon film (15) and the silicon oxide film (18a) deposited thereon, employing the same mask (14), thereby not decreasing the operation speed of the field effect transistor having the gate electrode (20) formed of the polycrystalline silicon film.
