A plurality of gate electrodes is formed on a semiconductor substrate having a DRAM area and a logic area. Next, sidewalls, each of which includes a silicon nitride film covering the sides of gate electrodes and a silicon oxide film covering the silicon nitride film, are formed on the sides of the gate electrodes respectively. After formation of a transistor having an LDD structure in the logic area, the silicon oxide film formed on the sides of the gate electrodes is removed by wet etching. Next, a silicon nitride film is formed on the whole surface of the semiconductor substrate, and an interlayer dielectric is formed on the silicon nitride film.

The present invention includes a first semiconductor element forming member formed in a first layer, a first measurement mark formed by the same manufacturing step as the first semiconductor element forming member, a second semiconductor element forming member formed in a second layer above the first layer, and a second measurement mark formed in the same manufacturing step as the second semiconductor element forming member for measuring registration accuracy between the first and second semiconductor element forming members. The first measurement mark has a pattern which receives same influence of aberration as the first semiconductor element forming member when irradiated with light, and the second measurement mark has a pattern which receives same influence of aberration as the second semiconductor element forming member when irradiated with light. Thus, a registration accuracy measurement mark taking into consideration the influence of aberration can be provided.

Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device in which defects in crystal in a junction region between a capacitor and a source/drain region, and a short channel effect of a transistor can be effectively reduced. The semiconductor memory device includes, on the side of a gate electrode at which the capacitor is connected, a sidewall formed to have a width larger than that of a sidewall on the side of a bit line, and a source/drain region to which the capacitor is connected and which is formed to have a diffusion depth larger than that of the opposite source/drain region. Therefore, the source/drain region effectively prevents defects in crystal from being produced in the junction region between the capacitor and the source/drain region connected to the capacitor and the sidewall effectively reduces the short channel effect.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device having stacked capacitors is disclosed. After forming a capacitor isolating layer on an insulation layer and forming a contact hole in the insulation layer, a first conductive layer is formed on the insulating layer and the capacitor isolating layer and on an inner surface of the contact hole. The first conductive layer is partially etched and removed by using an etch-back technique to be isolated into a first capacitor portion and a second capacitor portion. A dielectric layer is formed on the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer.

In a semiconductor device, a connection conductive layer is formed by patterning on a p-type semiconductor substrate. A silicon nitride film is formed on the connection conductive layer with an insulating layer. A silicon oxide film is formed on the silicon nitride film. The silicon oxide film is provided with a hole. The silicon nitride film is exposed at a bottom of the hole. The hole is located immediately above the connection conductive layer. Thereby, a thickness of the insulating layer on a fuse element which can be blown can be controlled easily in the semiconductor device.

A portion of a cell plate 91 extending upon a field oxide film 107a and a silicon oxide film 123 is referred to as a lower layer interconnection film 109. The lower layer interconnection film 109 has a concave shape. A through hole 95a is formed in a silicon oxide film 93 reaching the bottom of the concave shape lower layer interconnection film 109. The depth of the through hole 95a is greater in comparison with the case where a through hole is formed on an upper face portion 123a of the silicon oxide film 123. Because the depth of through hole 95a is great, the thickness of the tungsten film 101a formed in through hole 95a becomes thicker. This eliminates the problem that all the tungsten film 101a in the through hole 95a, and then a portion of the lower layer interconnection film 109 are overetched. Therefore, electrical connection between the upper layer interconnection layer 103a and the lower layer interconnection layer 109 can be ensured.

Thereby, the required performances such as suppression of a leak current can be achieved even in a miniaturized structure.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a memory device and a logic device on the same semiconductor substrate is provided without reducing reliability of the semiconductor device and making a manufacturing process unnecessarily complicated. A silicon oxide film which serves as a salicide protection film in the logic device formation region is subjected to wet isotropic etching. The process completely removes the silicon oxide film in the memory device formation region. Thus, the silicon oxide film is left only in a prescribed portion in the logic device formation region. As a result, the silicon oxide film is not left on an inner wall of a recess formed by a silicon nitride film between gate electrodes. Consequently, a good self alignment contact opening is formed toward a source/drain region in the memory device formation region.
摘要:
Source/drain regions of an MOS transistor are formed at a surface of a p-type silicon substrate. A storage node electrically connected to the source/drain regions penetrates a bit line to reach the n-type source/drain region. The storage node and the bit line are insulated from each other by a sidewall insulating layer. Thus, a semiconductor memory device suitable for high integration is obtained in which short-circuit between the storage node and the bit line on a gate electrode layer can be prevented.
