摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a dielectric breakdown prevention circuit coupled to an external terminal for protecting an input stage circuit. The prevention circuit has bipolar transistors and complementary MISFETs including a first MISFET of a first conductivity type and a second MISFET of a second conductivity type. A first semiconductor region of the first conductivity type is formed by the same layer as a well region in which the second MISFET is formed. A second semiconductor region of the second conductivity type is formed in said first semiconductor region by the same layer as source and drain regions of the second MISFET. These first and second semiconductor regions form a first PN junction diode. The external terminal is electrically coupled to one end portion of said second semiconductor region. A high impurity conductivity type buried third semiconductor region underlies the said second semiconductor region, and is formed by the same layer as a region isolating the bipolar transistors. This third region is disposed at the bottom surface of said first semiconductor region. A fourth semiconductor region of the second conductivity type is also formed in said first semiconductor region by the same layer used for collector contact regions of the bipolar transistors, and is connected with another end portion of said second semiconductor region, in contact with the third semiconductor region. The fourth semiconductor region is coupled to the input stage circuit, and the third and fourth semiconductor regions form a second PN junction diode.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is equipped with a DRAM whose memory cell is formed as a series circuit of a memory cell selection MISFET and a data storage capacitance element of a stacked structure. A complementary data line extends on an upper electrode layer of the data storage capacitance element of the stacked structure through an inter-level insulation film which is connected to a semiconductor region of the memory cell selection MISFET. To reduce parasitic capacitance the wiring width of the complementary data line is formed to be smaller than the film thickness of the inter-level insulation film between the complementary data line and the upper electrode layer of said data storage capacitance element of the stacked structure.

A problem in the conventional technique is that metal contamination on a silicon carbide surface is not sufficiently removed in a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using a monocrystalline silicon carbide substrate. Accordingly, there is a high possibility that the initial characteristics of a manufactured silicon carbide semiconductor device are deteriorated and the yield rate is decreased. Further, it is conceivable that the metal contamination has an adverse affect even on the long-term reliability of a semiconductor device. In a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using a monocrystalline silicon carbide substrate, there is applied a metal contamination removal process, on a silicon carbide surface, including a step of oxidizing the silicon carbide surface and a step of removing a film primarily including silicon dioxide formed on the silicon carbide surface by the step.

A static RAM includes pre-amplifiers, which are made up solely of emitter-follower transistors having their collectors supplied with the power voltage, in one-to-one correspondence to sub common data line pairs which are connected by column switches to complementary data line pairs of memory arrays. The pre-amplifier is provided with a first switch which turns on during the selected state to connect the sub common data line pair to the bases of the transistors and a second switch which turns on during the unselected state to provide the bases with a certain bias voltage lower than the readout signal voltage on the sub common data line pair. The emitter-follower transistors have their emitters connected commonly to form common emitter lines, which are connected to pairs of input terminals of main amplifiers made up of CMOS transistors.
