摘要:
A semiconductor device produced by forming an oxide film on a substrate, heat treating the oxide film at a temperature of 800° C. or higher in an inert atmosphere, followed by conventional steps for formation of a transistor, is improved in electrical reliability due to relaxation of stress generated in the oxide film or in the surface of substrate.

摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device comprising an n-type channel field effect transistor and a p-type channel field effect transistor, which has a high degree of reliability and excellent drain current characteristics. The gist of the invention for attaining the object resides in disposing a silicon nitride film to the side wall of a trench for an active region in which the n-type channel field effect transistor is formed and disposing the silicon nitride film only in the direction perpendicular to the channel direction to the sidewall of the trench for the active region of the p-type channel field effect transistor. According to the present invention, a semiconductor device comprising an n-type channel field effect transistor and a p-type channel field effect transistor of excellent current characteristics can be provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device including n-channel field effect transistors and p-channel field effect transistors all of which have excellent drain current characteristics.In a semiconductor device including an n-channel field effect transistor 10 and a p-channel field effect transistor 30, a stress control film 19 covering a gate electrode 15 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10 undergoes film stress mainly composed of tensile stress. A stress control film 39 covering a gate electrode 15 of the p-channel field effect transistor 30 undergoes film stress mainly caused by compression stress compared to the film 19 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10. Accordingly, drain current is expected to be improved in both the n-channel field effect transistor and the p-channel field effect transistor. Consequently, the characteristics can be generally improved.
