摘要:
In a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, a dummy region which can suppress occurrence of a parasitic capacity can be provided for reducing a difference in level without increasing manufacturing steps in number. A semiconductor substrate is provided at its main surface with an isolation region formed by a trench, and a dummy region leaving the main surface is formed in the isolation region for the purpose of reducing an influence by the difference in level in a later step. The dummy region includes p- and n-type impurity regions each extending a predetermined depth from the surface. Since a pn junction occurs at the bottom of the impurity region, a depletion layer spreads in the pn junction, and thereby reduces a parasitic capacity between the dummy region and a conductive interconnection located in a crossing direction at a higher position. The impurity regions and source/drain regions of p- and n-channel transistors in active regions are simultaneously formed by impurity implantation.

A silicon semiconductor substrate has a plurality of active regions having an impurity region and an isolating region which electrically isolates these active regions from each other. The isolating region is formed of a silicon nitride film. A contact hole penetrates an interlayer insulating film and reaches an impurity region. In this semiconductor device, when the contact hole falls across the impurity region and the isolating region, an amount of erosion in the isolating region is reduced.

A semiconductor device can reduce a leak current, and a manufacturing method can provide such a semiconductor device. A semiconductor device includes an isolating and insulating film formed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate including a first conductivity type region, and also includes a field-effect transistor. The field-effect transistor includes a second conductivity type region neighboring to the isolating and insulating film, a gate electrode, a lower layer side wall film formed on a side surface of the gate electrode, an upper layer side wall film formed on the lower layer side wall film and containing a material different from that of the lower layer side wall film, and a high-melting-point metal silicide layer formed on the second conductivity type region. The upper surface of the isolating and insulating film is located at a level substantially equal to or lower than the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and higher than a junction boundary surface between the first and second conductivity type regions.

There is described a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which ensures formation of a step in an alignment mark, to thereby improve the accuracy of alignment. A tungsten layer is formed on an interlayer dielectric film including an opening for use in forming an alignment mark. The tungsten layer is abraded by means of the CMP technique. At this time, the initial thickness of the interlayer dielectric film is made greater than the total sum of the minimum step identifiable for alignment and the amount of abrasion, thus ensuring formation of an alignment step. Further, a gate electrode is removed from the position where a contact alignment mark is formed. Alternatively, an aluminum electrode is removed from a position immediately below a through hole alignment mark.

The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and, in an element isolating region in the semiconductor substrate, a first active area A/A dummy pattern and a second A/A dummy pattern having a pitch smaller than that of the first A/A dummy pattern. Placement of the first A/A dummy pattern and placement of the second A/A dummy pattern are carried out in separate steps. The semiconductor substrate may be divided into a plurality of mesh regions, and a dummy pattern may be placed in each mesh region according to an area of the mesh region being occupied by an element pattern located therein.

A manufacturing method for a waveguide includes forming a core including a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a top surface including a first region with which a bottom surface of the second layer is in contact, and a second region with which the bottom surface of the second layer is not in contact. Forming the core includes the steps of: forming an initial first layer; forming an etching stopper layer on the second region of the initial first layer; forming an initial second layer on the initial first layer and the etching stopper layer; etching the initial second layer and the initial first layer so as to make the initial first layer into the first layer; and etching the initial second layer until the etching stopper layer is exposed, so as to make the initial second layer into the second layer.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display device which has a liquid crystal composition between a first substrate and a flexible second substrate. The liquid crystal composition is filled between the substrates by being dispensed on the first substrate and spread uniformly while the second substrate is being pressed against the first substrate by a roller, and the liquid crystal composition is sealed by sealing resin provided on the sides of the substrates. The gap between the substrates is maintained by spherical spacers and/or a resin structure.
