摘要:
A plurality of metal wires are formed on an underlying interlayer insulating film. Areas among the metal wires are filled with a buried insulating film of a silicon oxide film with a small dielectric constant (i.e., a first dielectric film), and thus, a parasitic capacitance of the metal wires can be decreased. On the buried insulating film, a passivation film of a silicon nitride film with high moisture absorption resistance (i.e., a second dielectric film) is formed, and thus, a coverage defect can be avoided. A bonding pad is buried in an opening formed in a part of a surface protecting film including the buried insulating film and the passivation film, so as not to expose the buried insulating film within the opening. Thus, moisture absorption through the opening can be prevented. In this manner, the invention provides a semiconductor device which has a small parasitic capacitance in an area with a small pitch between the metal wires and is free from a coverage defect as well as the moisture absorption through the opening for the bonding pad, and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device.

An isolation which is higher in a stepwise manner than an active area of a silicon substrate is formed. On the active area, an FET including a gate oxide film, a gate electrode, a gate protection film, sidewalls and the like is formed. An insulating film is deposited on the entire top surface of the substrate, and a resist film for exposing an area stretching over the active area, a part of the isolation and the gate protection film is formed on the insulating film. There is no need to provide an alignment margin for avoiding interference with the isolation and the like to a region where a connection hole is formed. Since the isolation is higher in a stepwise manner than the active area, the isolation is prevented from being removed by over-etch in the formation of a connection hole to come in contact with a portion where an impurity concentration is low in the active area. In this manner, the integration of a semiconductor device can be improved and an area occupied by the semiconductor device can be decreased without causing degradation of junction voltage resistance and increase of a junction leakage current in the semiconductor device.

Upper surfaces of the gate electrode and the interconnect and side surfaces of at least a portion of the interconnect are formed with silicide layers, respectively.

Gate insulating film, gate electrode made up of lower and upper gate electrodes, and on-gate passivation film are formed in this order on an Si substrate. Then, a sidewall is formed as a stack of an oxynitride sidewall having an L-shaped cross section and a nitride sidewall, so as to surround the gate electrode and on-gate passivation film. Alternatively, only the lower edge of an L-oxide sidewall may be changed into an oxynitride region. Or an oxide or stacked sidewall and a nitride sidewall, covering the oxide or stacked sidewall, may be formed instead of the oxynitride sidewall. In any of these embodiments, the lower edge of the sidewall is not removed during a wet etching process.
摘要:
After P+ ions are implanted into a polysilicon film in an nMOSFET region, a heat treatment is performed to diffuse phosphorus down to the lower part of the polysilicon film. The diffusion reduces the concentration of phosphorus in an upper end portion of the polysilicon film and inhibits the upper end edges of a gate electrode from being increased in size during patterning. Then, B+ ions are implanted into the polysilicon film in a pMOSFET region and the polysilicon film is etched into a gate configuration. Since a heat treatment for simultaneously diffusing phosphorus and boron in the polysilicon film is not performed, the entrance of boron from the gate electrode into a semiconductor substrate is inhibited, while the occurrence of side etching during the formation of an n-type polysilicon gate is suppressed.

摘要:
A fabrication method for semiconductor devices connecting a multi-crystal semiconductor thin film and a semiconductor region including a high density of an impurity formed in a single crystal semiconductor substrate. After forming a N-type semiconductor region as the emitter by ion implanting, for instance, as into a P-type semiconductor region as the base, a polysilicon thin film 114 is deposited so as to be implanted with As ions and then heat treated. In this case, an amorphous portion of the N-type semiconductor region and an amorphous silicon thin film in contact therewith are transformed by solid phase epitaxial growth so as to form a single crystal semiconductor region, a single-crystalline silicon thin film, and a polysilicon thin film, thus forming a bipolar element having an emitter.
