摘要:
A surface region of a P-type semiconductor substrate is defined by an isolation into plural active regions at which a semiconductor element is to be formed. A first diffusion region such as a drain region, a second diffusion region such as a source region, and a wiring member such as a word line are arranged at each active region. The surface of the word line is covered with a first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is provided, in which a region including in common each overhead region on at least two second diffusion regions is removed, leaving an overhead region on the first diffusion region. Provided above the second diffusion region is a conductive member such as a capacity storage electrode, a bit line. A contact member which connects the conductive member and the second diffusion region is formed at a region where the second insulating layer is removed. With the second insulating layer of such configuration, an increase in connection resistance and a connection defect of the capacity storage electrode contact or the bit line contact are prevented.

A fabrication method for a semiconductor integrated circuits which permits the self-aligned formation of contact windows without causing shorts or breaks in the interconnecting lines in the device is provided. After forming gate electrodes and source/drain regions of transistors on a semiconductor substrate, an etch-stop layer and a BPSG film are successively deposited over the gate electrodes and the source/drain regions. After a resist having a contact window pattern is formed on the BPSG film, an isotropic dry etching using a microwave plasma is performed to etch the BPSG film. According to the isotropic dry etching, the laterally etching rate in the BPSG film can be controlled by adjusting the RF power, and a silicon dioxide film can be used as the etch stop layer. After the BPSG flow process, the etch stop layer on the contact region is etched away to form contact windows.

A semiconductor memory device with a storage capacitor is provided which accomplishes a large storage capacity together with a high component density, and facilitates the production. A switching transistor is formed locally in a semiconductor substrate. Formed over the transistor is an upper-level wire disposed over which is a storage capacitor. A storage capacitor contact passes through the upper-level wire. While ensuring a good capacity for the storage capacitor contact, the allowance of focus, too, can advantageously be obtained in simultaneously transferring a pattern of the upper-level wire onto the memory cell region as well as onto the peripheral circuit region. Particularly, by having the storage capacitor contact pass through a bit line, a drain and a source can symmetrically be arranged with a word line, like a memory cell with a bit-line-over-storage-capacitor organization cell. This eliminates an excess portion resulting in increasing the density.

A semiconductor memory device includes a capacitor and an insulating separation area in a trench formed around a switching transistor, with a storage electrode of the capacitor being sandwiched between an upper and a lower cell plate electrode to reduce leakage current due to the parasitic MOS transistor effect in the trench sidewall along the channel in the switching transistor and leakage current due to the gate-controlled diode effect in the trench sidewall. Also, a method is disclosed for manufacturing such semiconductor memory device.

摘要:
The characteristic of semiconductor devices is satisfactorily maintained because the planarization of a dielectric film of a semiconductor device is carried out at a lower flow temperature. In the case of a silicon dioxide film being a dielectric film, a network structure is composed of atoms of silicon which serve as a main constituent, and of atoms of oxygen which serve as a sub-constituent of a matrix of the dielectric film. These oxygen atoms are replaced by non-bridging constituents such as atoms of halogen including fluorine. This breaks a bridge, via an oxygen atom, between the silicon atoms, at a position where such a replacement takes place. In consequence, the viscosity of the dielectric film falls with the flow temperature. If, for example, part of the oxygen in a BPSG film is substituted by fluorine, this allows the dielectric film to flow at a lower temperature of 850.degree. C. The short channel effects can be suppressed.
