摘要:
A method for making a semiconductor device having a first active region and a second active region includes providing first and second isolation structures defining the first active region on a substrate. The first active region uses a first operational voltage, and the second active region uses a second operational voltage that is different from the first voltage. A nitride layer overlying the first and second active regions is formed. An oxide layer overlying the nitride layer is formed. A first portion of the oxide layer overlying the first active region is removed to expose a first portion of the nitride layer. The exposed first portion of the nitride layer is removed using a wet etch method while leaving a second portion of the nitride layer that is overlying the second active region intact. Thereafter, a first gate oxide having a first thickness is formed on the first active region, the first gate oxide having a first edge facing the first isolation structure and a second edge facing the second isolation structure. The first edge is separated from the first isolation structure by a first distance. The second edge is separated from the second isolation structure by a second distance. Thereafter, a second gate oxide having a second thickness is formed on the second active region, the second thickness being different than the first thickness.
摘要:
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate having a high voltage region and a low voltage region, at least a pair of adjacent high voltage MOS transistors disposed on the high voltage region of the semiconductor substrate, and low voltage MOS transistors disposed on the low voltage region of the semiconductor substrate. A first element isolator comprises a first shallow trench disposed on a surface of the low voltage, region of the semiconductor substrate, and a first dielectric embedded in the first shallow trench. A pair of second element isolators comprises two second shallow trenches spaced apart at an interval between a source region or a drain region of the pair of the adjacent high voltage MOS transistors and a source or a drain region of the other of the pair of the adjacent high voltage MOS transistors, and a second dielectric embedded in each of the second shallow trenches. The second shallow trenches are disposed on a surface of the high voltage region of the semiconductor substrate. A channel cut region having a high impurity concentration is disposed on the surface of the substrate between the second shallow trenches.

A method for forming an isolation structure on a semiconductor substrate includes opening a portion of a pad oxide layer overlying the substrate using a process gas including an etchant gas and a polymer-forming gas. A portion of the substrate exposed by the opening step is etched to form a trench having a first slope and a second slope. The first slope is greater than 45 degrees, and the second slope is less than 45 degrees. The trench is filled to form the isolation structure.

摘要:
In a semiconductor device in which high voltage MOS transistors and low voltage MOS transistors are mixedly mounted, a process is simplified and miniaturization thereof is achieved, without causing a parasitic transistor operation. An active region doped with a low impurity concentration of an impurity is formed in a channel region of a parasitic MOS transistor between two STI (shallow trench isolation) regions, and current flow between a source and a drain of the parasitic MOS transistor is cut off in a semiconductor device in which a high voltage MOS transistor and a microscopic low voltage MOS transistor are mixedly mounted on the same semiconductor substrate.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes defining a first voltage region, a second voltage region, and a third voltage region on a substrate. The first, second, and third voltage regions are configured to handle first, second, and third voltage levels, respectively, that are different from each other. A nitride layer overlying the first, second, and third voltage regions are formed. An oxide layer overlying the nitride layer is formed. The oxide layer is patterned to expose a portion of the nitride layer overlying the first voltage region. The exposed portion of the nitride layer is removed using a wet etch process. A first gate oxide layer overlying the first voltage region is formed. Portions of the oxide layer and the nitride layer overlying the second and third voltage regions are removed. Impurities are selectively implanted into the third voltage region while preventing the impurities from being provided in the second voltage region. A second gate oxide overlying the second voltage region and a third gate oxide overlying the third voltage region are formed simultaneously. The second gate oxide is thicker than the third gate oxide.
