摘要:
A gate oxide film (23), a gate electrode (24) and a gate cap insulating film (25) are stacked on an active region of a p-type semiconductor substrate (21), and an insulating side wall (29) is formed, followed by BF2 ion implantation. Thus, a surface of the p-type semiconductor substrate becomes amorphous so that single-crystal silicon is prevented from epitaxially growing in the next process of depositing polysilicon (33). Halo regions (32) are formed using the BF2 ions having the opposite conductivity to a source/drain to reduce the short-channel effect. The substrate is then passed through a nitrogen purge chamber having a dew point kept at −100° C. to remove water molecules completely, and polysilicon (33) is deposited. Because native oxide is prevented from growing at an interface between the active region and the polysilicon, source/drain regions (34) formed later by implantation and diffusion of n-type impurity ions achieve a uniform junction depth.

摘要:
A semiconductor storage device has a single gate electrode formed on a semiconductor substrate through a gate insulation film. First and second memory function bodies formed on both sides of the gate electrode. A P-type channel region is formed in a surface of the substrate on the side of the gate electrode. N-type first and second diffusion regions are formed on both sides of the channel region. The channel region is composed of an offset region located under the first and second memory function bodies and a gate electrode beneath region located under the gate electrode. The concentration of a dopant which imparts a P-type conductivity to the offset region is effectively lower than the concentration of a dopant which imparts the P-type conductivity to the gate electrode beneath region. This makes it possible to provide the semiconductor storage device which is easily shrunk in scale.

A semiconductor device and a fabrication method thereof are disclosed. A silicon nitride film is formed over a silicon semiconductor substrate. Impurity ions are then implanted into desired areas of the silicon semiconductor substrate, so that nitrogen atoms and silicon atoms from the silicon nitride film are incorporated into the surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate together with introduction of impurity ions. The silicon semiconductor substrate has a minimized content of oxygen mixed thereinto and restored crystal defects filled by nitrogen atoms upon implanting of impurity ions. The fabricated semiconductor device is free from a trade-off relation between gate-electrode depletion and junction current leakage, and short-channel effects.
