A &Dgr;Z calculator calculates difference between an inversion layer capacitance by a classical theory and an inversion layer capacitance by a quantum theory, calculates &Dgr;Z which is a thickness of a semiconductor substrate equivalent to the difference in inversion layer capacitance. A discretization mesh generator generates a Delaunay discretization mesh for a structure of the semiconductor device to be evaluated. An electrical parameter calculator calculates electrical parameters of the semiconductor device under constraint that a charge density of channel conductivity type of the semiconductor device is set to zero at discretization mesh points of the discretization mesh on an interface between an insulating film and the semiconductor substrate and at discretization mesh points of the discretization mesh in the semiconductor substrate which are located within a distance less than the stored &Dgr;Z from the interface between the insulating film and the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
A voltage-control type semiconductor switching device is disclosed which includes a pair of controlled electrodes to which a control voltage signal is supplied, and a semiconductive layer formed between the electrodes so as electrically insulative from the electrodes through insulative layers. The semiconductive layer has a channel region and a carrier-storage region which is substantially nonconductive. The channel region is formed laterally along the longitudinal direction of the electrodes, thereby allowing majority carriers such as electrons of the semiconductive layer to flow in the lateral direction. In the current cut-off mode, the carrier-storage region temporarily stores the carriers which move in the direction of thickness of the semiconductive layer due to the electric field created by the voltage. In the current conduction mode, the carrier-storage region releases the carriers stored therein toward the channel region.

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes memory cells, first and second selection transistors, a source line, a temperature monitor, and a source line voltage controller. The memory cells are connected in series between a source of the first selection transistor and a drain of the second selection transistor. The temperature monitor monitors a temperature of the semiconductor substrate. The source line voltage controller applies a voltage to the source line, in a read operation, in such a manner that a potential difference between the source line and the semiconductor substrate increases according to a rise in the temperature monitored by the temperature monitor and that a reverse bias is applied between the source of the second selection transistor and the semiconductor substrate.

A method of designing a wiring structure of an LSI is capable of reducing a capacitance variation ratio ΔC/C or a resistance-by-capacitance variation ratio Δ(RC)/(RC) of the wiring structure. The method sets a process-originated variation ratio (δP) for the wiring structure, a tolerance (ξC) for the capacitance variation ratio (ΔC/C), and a tolerance (ξRC) for the resistance-by-capacitance variation ratio (Δ(RC)/(RC)), evaluates a fringe capacitance ratio (F=CF/CP) according to a fringe capacitance CF and parallel-plate capacitance CP of the wiring structure, and determines the wiring structure so that the fringe capacitance ratio (F) may satisfy the following: For Δ C C ≤ ξ C , F ≥ δ P ξ C - 1 ( 1 ) For Δ ( RC ) RC ≤ ξ RC , F ≤ ( 1 - δ P ) δ P δ P - ξ RC - 1 ( 2 ) The method employs an equivalent-variations condition defined as |ΔC/C|=|Δ(RC)/(RC)| to determine the shape parameters of each wire of the wiring structure.
