As first thermal treatment for activating an impurity injected into a gate electrode, thermal treatment at a low temperature for a long time in which boron diffusion into each crystal grain in polysilicon hardly occurs and boron diffusion in each crystal boundary occurs is performed. Next, as second thermal treatment, thermal treatment at a high temperature for a short time, such as spike annealing and flash annealing, in which impurity diffusion into each crystal grain in a polysilicon layer occurs is performed.

A memory cell transistor and a planar capacitor are provided in a memory region, and both transistors of a CMOS device are provided in a logic circuit region. A capacitance dielectric 15 and a plate electrode 16b of the planar capacitor are provided over a trench shared with a shallow trench isolation 12a, and the upper part of the trench is filled with the capacitance dielectric 15 and the plate electrode 16b. An n-type diffusion layer 19 that is a storage node is formed, with an end region thereof extending along one side of the upper part of the trench, to a region of the substrate overlapping with the shallow trench isolation 12a. The area of a part of the substrate functioning as a capacitor can be increased without increasing the substrate area.
摘要:
Semiconductor devices each having a semiconductor layer (1), a gate insulating film (2), a gate electrode (3), an offset spacer layer (4), and SD extension diffusion layers (6) into which ions have been implanted by using the gate electrode (3) and the offset spacer layer (4) as a mask are formed by varying the film thickness of the offset spacer layer (4) and leakage current values in the respective semiconductor devices are measured. The results of the measurements show that the film thickness value of the offset spacer layer (4) and the leakage current value have a correlation therebetween and that the film thickness value of the offset spacer layer (4) when the leakage current value becomes zero corresponds to the length of the portion of the semiconductor layer (1) extending from under the outer end of the offset spacer layer (4) to the tip end of an impurity diffusion layer.

With keeping an atmosphere including oxygen within a chamber and with a wafer kept at a low temperature, plasma generated within the chamber is biased toward the wafer, and the wafer is subjected to the plasma. A semiconductor layer exposed on the wafer is oxidized into an oxide film. Thus, an oxide film can be formed even at room temperature differently from thermal oxidation. This oxidation is applicable to recovery of an implantation protection insulating film having been etched in cleaning a photoresist film, relaxation of a step formed between polysilicon films, relaxation of a step formed within trench and the like. Also, before removing a photoresist film used for forming a gate electrode including a metal, a contamination protection film can be formed by this oxidation with the photoresist film kept.
摘要:
On a semiconductor substrate made of p-type silicon, there are formed, in a successively layered fashion, a first p-type silicon semiconductor layer, laterally paired first n-type silicon semiconductor layers, laterally paired second p-type silicon semiconductor layers, and laterally paired n-type silicon semiconductor layers, by an epitaxial growth method. On the second n-type silicon semiconductor layer on the right side, there are successively formed a third p-type silicon semiconductor layer, a third n-type silicon semiconductor layer and a fourth p-type silicon semiconductor layer. The left first n-type silicon semiconductor layer, left second p-type silicon semiconductor layer and left second n-type silicon semiconductor layer form a first insular multilayered portion forming an n-channel MOSFET. The third p-type silicon semiconductor layer, third n-type silicon semiconductor layer and fourth p-type silicon semiconductor layer form a second insular portion forming a p-channel MOSFET. A first gate electrode is formed on a side surface of the left second p-type silicon semiconductor layer with a gate insulating film therebetween, and a second gate electrode is formed on a side surface of the right third n-type silicon semiconductor layer with a gate insulating film therebetween.
摘要:
Gate electrodes of an N-channel transistor and a P-channel transistor are formed on a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulator therebetween. After conducting a first thermal treatment to the gate electrodes, N-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the N-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the N-channel transistor as a mask. After conducting a second thermal treatment to the N-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the first thermal treatment, P-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the P-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the P-channel transistor as a mask. Then, a third thermal treatment is conducted to the P-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the second thermal treatment.

摘要:
A semiconductor substrate and an impurity solid that comprises of impurity to be introduced to a diode formation region are held in a vacuum chamber. Inert or reactive gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber to generate plasma composed of the inert or reactive gas. A first voltage allowing the impurity solid to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the said impurity solid and the said impurity solid is sputtered by ions in the plasma, thereby mixing the impurity within the said impurity solid into the plasma. A second voltage allowing a semiconductor substrate to serve as a cathode for the plasma is applied to the said semiconductor substrate, thereby directly introducing the impurity within the plasma to the surface portion of the diode formation region of the said semiconductor substrate, generating a impurity layer.
摘要:
In a silicon layer formed on an insulator layer, a lattice defect region is formed to be adjacent to a channel region and source/drain regions, and the lower part of the channel region functions as a high-concentration channel region. The holes of hole-electron pairs generated in the channel region are eliminated by recombination in the lattice defect region, thereby suppressing the bipolar operation resulting from the accumulation of holes and increasing the source/drain breakdown voltage. The threshold value of a parasitic transistor is increased by the high-concentration channel region so as to reduce the leakage current in the OFF state. Alternatively, the holes may be moved to the source region to disappear therein by providing, instead of the lattice defect region, a high-concentration diffusion layer constituting and operating as a pn diode between the channel and source regions. Thus, it is possible to provide an SOI transistor causing no decrease in the source/drain breakdown voltage resulting from substrate floating effects and causing little OFF leakage current because of the activation of the parasitic transistor.
