摘要:
A semiconductor device employing a new isolation process is disclosed, wherein an isolation area is a region in which a burying material is buried in a deep groove formed in a semiconductor body with a substantially constant width by anisotropic dry etching, semiconductor elements are formed in selected ones of semiconductor regions isolated by the isolation area, and others of the semiconductor regions, with no semiconductor element formed therein, have their whole surface covered with a thick oxide film which is produced by the local oxidation of the semiconductor body.The new isolation process is well-suited for a bipolar type semiconductor device, wherein the deep groove is formed so as to reach a semiconductor substrate through an N.sup.+ -type buried layer, and a thick oxide film formed simultaneously with the aforementioned thick oxide film isolates the base region and collector contact region of a bipolar transistor.

摘要:
A bipolar type of semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided with U-shaped grooves which are formed by cutting a main surface of a semiconductor body to form isolation regions between bipolar transistors. A silicon oxide film can be formed in the U-shaped grooves by thermal oxidation simultaneously with the formation of a silicon oxide film used to form isolation regions between each collector contact region and base region. No separate step is needed for forming the silicon oxide film between the collector contact region and the base region. The thickness of the silicon oxide film can be controlled, and has a sufficient thickness even at its two edges, i.e., at its boundaries with the U-shaped grooves, so that the bipolar transistors exhibit good electrical characteristics. Namely, the collector resistance thereof does not increase, and the breakdown voltage at the pn junction between the collector region and the base region does not decrease. The U-shaped grooves can each comprise narrow and deep sub-grooves, with thick oxide films formed on the surfaces of the sub-grooves and a thick oxide film formed on a surface of an area between the sub-grooves, and with wiring formed on the oxide on the area between the sub-grooves.

A multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit having a plurality of wiring layers in which at least the lines of a lower layer are extended on wiring channel regions arranged in a grid. Dummy pedestals are formed of the same conductive layer as that forming the lines of the lower layer and are arranged in the intersecting areas of the wiring channel regions where none of the lines of the lower layer is placed. A method of manufacturing such a semiconductor integrated circuit comprises steps of preparing dummy pedestal layout data for arranging the dummy pedestals in all the intersecting areas of the wiring channel regions and line layout data for forming the lines of the lower layer on predetermined wiring channels among all the wiring channel regions, and combining the dummy pedestal layout data and the line layout data by logical sum (OR).
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of producing a semiconductor device which is suitable for forming a bipolar transistor having less fluctuation of characteristics at a high production yield.In accordance with the present invention, a graft base (or an extrinsic base) 20 is formed by doping an impurity from a polycrystalline silicon film 13, while an emitter is formed by lithographic technique.Since the emitter is formed by lithographic technique, the position at which the emitter is to be formed unavoidably changes at the time of mask alignment, but its influence upon transistor characteristics is negligible. Therefore, bipolar transistors having far more uniform characteristics can be formed far more easily than with the method which forms the emitter by self-alignment.
