摘要:
Diffusion layers 2-5 are formed on a silicon substrate 1, and gate dielectric films 6, 7 and gate electrodes 8, 9 are formed on these diffusion layers 2-5 so as to be MOS transistors. Zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide is used as a major component of gate dielectric films 6, 7. Gate dielectric films 6, 7 are formed, for example, by CVD. As substrate 1, there is used one of which the surface is (111) crystal face so as to prevent diffusion of oxygen into silicon substrate 1 or gate electrodes 8, 9. In case of using a substrate of which the surface is (111) crystal face, diffusion coefficient of oxygen is less than 1/100 of the case in which a silicon substrate of which the surface is (001) crystal face is used, and oxygen diffusion is controlled. Thus, oxygen diffusion is controlled, generation of leakage current is prevented and properties are improved. There is realized a semiconductor device having high reliability and capable of preventing deterioration of characteristics concomitant to miniaturization.

In a non-volatile phase-change memory comprising: an interlayer dielectric film and a plug formed on one main surface side of a silicon substrate; a phase-change film which can take a different electric resistivity depending on a phase change and is provided on surfaces of the interlayer dielectric film and the plug; and an upper electrode film formed on an upper surface of the phase-change film, a relation between a film thickness of the phase-change film and an amount of protrusion of the upper electrode film from the plug is set to 0.3≦L/T≦1. Thus, a density of current flowing through the phase-change film near the outer periphery of the plug is reduced, thereby suppressing migration and enabling rewriting with low energy. Accordingly, a reliable non-volatile phase-change memory can be achieved.

摘要:
Gate insulation films each containing titanium oxide as a primary constituent material are formed on one major surface of a semiconductor substrate. Gate electrode films are formed in contact with the gate insulation films. The gate electrode films contain ruthenium oxide or alternatively iridium oxide as a primary constituent material. In order to prevent electrically conductive elements from diffusing into titanium oxide of the gate insulation films, ruthenium oxide or iridium oxide is effectively used as a primary constituent material of the gate electrodes. A semiconductor device can be realized in which occurrence of a leak current is suppressed by increasing a physical film thickness while sustaining desired dielectric characteristic.

A semiconductor device provided with a mechanism for recording information is intended to provide a highly reliable one time programmable memory and to provide one time programmable memories at a high yield. In a one time programmable memory, a state in which the electrical resistance is high is varied to another state in which it is low by silicifying a metal with silicon and matching the high resistance state (a metal/silicon separated state) and the low resistance state (a silicide state) to 0 and 1, respectively, wherein there is used an underlayer material which reduces the interfacial energy in the interface with the silicide layer, which constitutes the low resistance state.
