摘要:
In a case where an impurity for suppressing the short channel effect of MISFETs is introduced into a semiconductor substrate obliquely to the principal surface thereof, gate electrodes adjacent to each other are arranged so that the impurity to be introduced in directions crossing the gate electrodes may not be introduced into the part of the semiconductor substrate lying between the gate electrodes, and the source region of the MISFETs is arranged in the part between the gate electrodes.

A mask for etching a relatively thin gate insulating film formed in a gate insulating film forming region is formed by patterning a photoresist film, and the mask is used for introducing an impurity for adjusting the threshold voltages of n-channel field-effect transistors and p-channel field-effect transistors having the relatively thin gate insulating film into regions on the semiconductor substrate not covered with the mask.
摘要:
A method of making semiconductor devices which enables control of the impurity concentration and fine patterning by making removal of residual stress due LOCOS oxidation compatible with the formation of deep wells. A selective oxide layer is formed for separating element regions on a principal plane of a semiconductor substrate, for example, a p.sup.- -type silicon substrate 1. A mask is formed (for example photoresist 47) on the surface including the selective oxide layer and impurities (for example phosphorous) of a conductivity type opposite that of the semiconductor substrate are introduced via an opening in the mask. Then the selective oxide film is annealed by a high-temperature treatment while a deep well (for example n-type deep well 50) is formed by introducing the impurities.

In an embodiment of a method of manufacturing semiconductor integrated circuit devices according to the present invention, word lines are provided in a straight form, which serve as gate electrodes of two selecting MOSFETs formed symmetrical about a center portion of an active region surrounded by a LOCOS oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, and bit lines have straight segments and protruding segments. Each protruding segment is formed to protrude from the bit line and is connected through a first contact hole to a first semiconductor region formed at the center portion of the active region. The straight line segments and the protruding segments are formed separately by two separate exposure steps.
摘要:
A period pulse corresponding to the shortest information retention time of those of dynamic memory cells is counted to form a refresh address to be assigned to a plurality of word lines. A carry signal outputted from the refresh address counter is divided by a divider. For each of said plurality of word lines assigned with the refresh address, one of a short period corresponding to an output pulse of a timer or a long period corresponding to the divided pulse from the divider is stored in a storage circuit as refresh time setting information. A memory cell refresh operation to be performed by the refresh address is made valid or invalid for each word line according to the refresh time setting information stored in the storage circuit and the refresh time setting information itself is made invalid by the output pulse of the divider.
摘要:
A memory device has a semiconductor substrate, and memory cells provided at intersections between word line conductors and bit line conductors. Each memory cell has a switching transistor and an information storage capacitor. Adjacent two memory cells for each bit line conductor form a memory cell pair unit structure, in which first semiconductor regions of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are united at their boundary into a single region and are connected to one of the bit line conductors via a bit line connection conductor, the gate electrodes of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are connected to word line conductors adjacent to each other, respectively, the second semiconductor regions of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are connected to the respective information storage capacitors. A series of memory cell pair unit structures formed under one bit line conductor is positionally shifted with respect to a series of memory cell pair unit structures formed under adjacent first and second bit line conductors on opposite sides of the one bit line conductor, respectively, such that a second information storage capacitor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the adjacent first bit line conductor and a first information storage capacitor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the adjacent second bit line conductor are located adjacent to a bit line connection conductor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the one bit line conductor.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a switching MISFET, and a capacitor element formed over the semiconductor substrate, is disclosed. The impurity concentration of the semiconductor region of the switching MISFET to which the capacitor element is connected is less than the impurity concentration of semiconductor regions of MISFETs of peripheral circuitry. The Y-select signal line overlaps the lower electrode layer of the capacitor element. A potential barrier layer, provided at least under the semiconductor region of the switching MISFET to which the capacitor element is connected, is formed by diffusion of an impurity for a channel stopper region. The dielectric film of the capacitor element is co-extensive with the capacitor electrode layer over it. The capacitor dielectric film is a silicon nitride film having a silicon oxide layer thereon, the silicon oxide layer being formed by oxidizing a surface layer of the silicon nitride under high pressure. An aluminum wiring layer and a protective (and/or barrier) layer are formed by sputtering in the same vacuum sputtering chamber without breaking the vacuum between forming the layers; and a refractory metal, or a refractory metal silicide QSi.sub.x, where Q is a refractory metal and x is between 0 and 2, is used as a protective layer, for an aluminum wiring containing an added element (e.g., Cu) to prevent migration.
