摘要:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device includes: recessing a second surface portion of a semiconductor substrate; forming elements of a first circuit region capable of performing a first function at a first surface portion of the semiconductor substrate and elements of a second circuit region capable of performing a second function at the recessed second surface portion of the semiconductor substrate, the elements of the first circuit region and those of the second circuit region having relatively small and large sizes as generally measured in a direction perpendicular to the surface portions of the semiconductor substrate, respectively; forming an insulating film to cover the first and second circuit regions, with a result that a level difference is caused between first and second portions of the insulating film on the first and second circuit regions at a relatively lower level and at a relatively higher level, respectively; effecting chemical-mechanical planarization of the insulating film to suppress the level difference in the insulating film for enhancing a focus margin for successive photolithographic steps; and forming wiring conductors on the insulating film with the suppressed level difference, enjoying the enhanced focus margin.

A static random access memory comprising memory cells each composed of transfer MISFETs controlled by word lines and of a flip-flop circuit made of driver MISFETs and load MISFETs. The top of the load MISFETs is covered with supply voltage lines so that capacitor elements of a stacked structure are formed between the gate electrodes of the load MISFETs and the supply voltage lines.

A method of fabrication of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, including polishing the entire area of an edge of a wafer, for example, uses three polishing drums in which a polishing drum polishes the upper surface of the edge of the wafer, a polishing drum polishes the central portion of the edge of the wafer and a polishing drum polishes the lower surface of the edge of the wafer, thereby preventing occurrence of obstacles which cause defoliation of thin films on the edge of the wafer.
摘要:
A buried film and a barrier film are polished together using a slurry in which the polishing rate on a substrate material (in particular, silicon oxide), that on a buried-film material (in particular, tungsten) and that on a barrier-film material (in particular, titanium oxide) are substantially equal to one another. This can materialize a buried structure free from any step or steps, at a high polishing rate.

In a semiconductor integrated circuit device having at least three conductor layers, a connection hole for the lower conductor layer and the upper conductor layer can be formed in self-alignment to the intermediate conductor layer after flattening the underlying insulation film for the upper conductor layer and deterioration of the insulation withstand voltage between the upper conductor layer and the intermediate conductor layer can be prevented.

摘要:
In an ink-jet type recording head including a nozzle plate provided with nozzle openings, a spacer provided with partitions for partitioning pressure generating chambers, ink supply ports and reservoirs, and a plate member sandwiched and fixed together. Displacement of the plate member is produced by piezoelectric vibrators to thereby generate ink droplets. The spacer is formed by anisotropic etching of a silicon single crystal substrate so that the pressure generating chambers, the ink supply ports and the reservoirs are formed as through-holes communicated with each other. Accordingly, etching conditions for the respective through-holes are made equal to each other. In different embodiments, the spacer includes chamfered portions or a plurality of fine planes and steps along which adhesive spreads during assembly of the head. In a further embodiment, the spacer includes different length partitions are between the pressure generating chambers.
