摘要:
The DRAM according to the present invention comprises so-called cylindrical stacked type capacitors. Each of the cylindrical stacked type capacitors comprises a base portion extending flat on an insulation layer and a surface of a substrate, and a cylindrical portion extending vertically and upwardly from the base portion. Then, the cylindrical portion vertically and upwardly protrudes from an outermost peripheral position of the base portion. As a result, an area where electrodes of the capacitor and capacitance of the capacitor can be increased. Furthermore, with a bit line located below an electrode layer of the capacitor, adjacent capacitors above the bit line can be isolated. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the bit line contact from defining an isolation distance between the capacitors. Furthermore, an isolating layer patterned by etching is used as an isolating region between the capacitors and a lower electrode of the capacitor is formed along a surface of the isolating layer to form an isolation region between the adjacent capacitors. In addition, the lower electrode of the cylindrical stacked type capacitor is integrally formed by using a step formed in the insulation layer. As a result, the manufacturing step is simplified.

An MIS-type semiconductor device comprises PSD structure and LDD structure. The LDD structure comprises high concentration impurity regions formed by thermally diffusing impurities which have been contained in source/drain electrode conductive layers made of polysilicon onto a semiconductor substrate, and low concentration impurity regions formed through ion implantation using resist patterned on channel regions and the source/drain electrode conductive layers as mask. A gate electrode is formed, after formation of the low concentration impurity regions, to cover them and have its edges overlap the source/drain electrode conductive layers. The LDD structure suppresses the short channel effects which might be caused in the MIS-type semiconductor device and thus enables channels length to be miniaturized while the PSD structure enables also miniaturization of source/drain structure.

First, second, third and fourth impurity regions are formed on a major surface of a semiconductor substrate with prescribed spaces, to define first, second and third channel regions in portions held between the same. A select gate is formed on the first channel region through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the first and second impurity regions. A part of a control gate is formed on the third channel region through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the third and fourth impurity regions. A floating gate is formed on the second channel region and parts of the select gate and the control gate through an insulating film, to define a transistor with the second and third impurity regions. Both end portions of the floating gate are inwardly separated from upper positions of respective outer ends of parts of the select gate and the control gate, in order to improve an effect of shielding the floating gate against a fourth impurity region. Another part of the control gate is formed on the floating gate through an insulating film. The first impurity region is connected to a bit line and the fourth impurity region is connected to a source region respectively.

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.

A memory cell of 1 bit is constituted by 1 selecting transistor and 1 memory transistor in an EEPROM. One of the source-drain regions is commonly used by the selecting transistor and the memory transistor. The commonly used source-drain region is manufactured through the following steps. First, a gate electrode of the transistor is formed. An oxide film is deposited on the entire surface. A resist is applied thereon and is etched back to expose a surface of the oxide film on the gate electrode. Thereafter, the oxide films deposited on the side surfaces of the gate electrode are removed to form opening portions. Impurities are implanted to the silicon substrate utilizing the opening portions.

A semiconductor device includes a plurality of gate electrodes (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) arranged on the surface of a semiconductor substrate (1) with insulating layers (5, 8) covering the top and the side walls of the gate electrodes.
