    Abstract: A method for fabricating a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor wherein source/drain junctions are formed by depositing and etching an oxide film having a desired thickness prior to the formation of a pocket region carried out by a pocket ion implantation after forming a gate oxide film and gate electrode on a channel region formed by implanting impurity ions in a silicon substrate. The pocket region is formed by impurity ions in source/drain regions exposed by etching the oxide film. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the thermal budget applied to the source/drain junctions. As a result, the lateral diffusion of the impurity ions implanted in the source/drain junctions can be suppressed as much as possible. That is, the transistor fabricated in accordance with the present invention has a channel length longer than that obtained in accordance with the prior art. Accordingly, the transistor can have a highly compact or densely integrated size. Since source/drain electrodes are separately formed from each other in accordance with the present invention, the insulation between the source/drain electrodes can be effectively obtained.

    Abstract: In the manufacturing process of a Dynamic Random Access Memory cell, the conducting layer used for preventing the capacitive coupling between a bit line and a word line is formed over the surface of the entire memory cell excepting the contact region of a bit line and a storage electrode. Moreover, as the conducting layer used for preventing the capacitive coupling is used as an etching barrier in the etching process forming a contact hole, self-aligned contacts are formed. Therefore, the operation of the unwanted cell of a Dynamic Random Access Memory cell caused by the capacitive coupling is protected and a highly integrated Dynamic Random Access Memory cell is manufactured.

    Abstract: Row/column decoder circuits for a semiconductor memory device. Switching elements are used to separate a main power line from the row decoder circuit to block power from the main power line to the row decoder circuit when a word line is not driven. Therefore, the amount of standby current consumption can be reduced. Also, switching elements are used to separate a main power line from the column decoder circuit to block power from the main power line to the column decoder circuit when a bit line is not selected. Therefore, the amount of standby current consumption can be reduced.
