摘要:
In a CMOS semiconductor device, a pMOS transistor and an nMOS transistor are formed on a single substrate. Each of the source/drain regions of the nMOS transistor and the pMOS transistor has LDD structure composed of a combination of a low concentration impurity region and a high concentration impurity region. The low concentration impurity region of the LDD structure of the pMOS transistor is formed in a self-align manner by ion implantation using a sidewall spacer with relatively thick film thickness. The low concentration impurity region of the LDD structure of the nMOS transistor is formed in a self-align manner by ion implantation using a relatively thin sidewall spacer as a mask. The sidewall spacer with thick film thickness of the pMOS transistor restrains that the channel between the source/drain regions is shortened due to thermal diffusion to cause punch through. As for the sidewall spacer of the nMOS transistor, its film thickness is selected to effectively restrain hot carrier effect in the vicinity of the drain and restrain degradation of current handling capability due to parasitic resistance to the minimum.

A protective circuit includes a non-linear element which includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer covering the gate electrode, a first oxide semiconductor layer overlapping with the gate electrode over the gate insulating layer, and a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer whose end portions overlap with the gate electrode over the first oxide semiconductor layer and in which a conductive layer and a second oxide semiconductor layer are stacked. Over the gate insulating layer, oxide semiconductor layers with different properties are bonded to each other, whereby stable operation can be performed as compared with Schottky junction. Thus, the junction leakage can be reduced and the characteristics of the non-linear element can be improved.

In order to take advantage of the properties of a display device including an oxide semiconductor, a protective circuit and the like having appropriate structures and a small occupied area are necessary. The protective circuit is formed using a non-linear element which includes a gate insulating film covering a gate electrode; a first oxide semiconductor layer over the gate insulating film; a channel protective layer covering a region which overlaps with a channel formation region of the first oxide semiconductor layer; and a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer each of which is formed by stacking a conductive layer and a second oxide semiconductor layer and over the first oxide semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is connected to a scan line or a signal line, the first wiring layer or the second wiring layer is directly connected to the gate electrode.

A protective circuit includes a non-linear element which includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer covering the gate electrode, a first oxide semiconductor layer overlapping with the gate electrode over the gate insulating layer, a channel protective layer overlapping with a channel formation region of the first oxide semiconductor layer, and a pair of a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer whose end portions overlap with the gate electrode over the channel protective layer and in which a conductive layer and a second oxide semiconductor layer are stacked. Over the gate insulating layer, oxide semiconductor layers with different properties are bonded to each other, whereby stable operation can be performed as compared with Schottky junction. Thus, the junction leakage can be reduced and the characteristics of the non-linear element can be improved.

The technology which can improve the performance of a MOS transistor in which all the regions of the gate electrode were silicided is offered. A gate insulating film and a gate electrode of an nMOS transistor are laminated and formed in this order on a semiconductor substrate. A source/drain region of the nMOS transistor is formed in the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The source/drain region is silicided after siliciding all the regions of the gate electrode. Thus, silicide does not cohere in the source/drain region by the heat treatment at the silicidation of the gate electrode by siliciding the source/drain region after the silicidation of the gate electrode. Therefore, the electric resistance of the source/drain region is reduced and junction leak can be reduced. As a result, the performance of the nMOS transistor improves.

It is an object of the present invention to form a plurality of elements in a limited area to reduce the area occupied by the elements for integration so that further higher resolution (increase in number of pixels), reduction of each display pixel pitch with miniaturization, and integration of a driver circuit that drives a pixel portion can be advanced in semiconductor devices such as liquid crystal display devices and light-emitting devices that has EL elements. A photomask or a reticle provided with an assist pattern that is composed of a diffraction grating pattern or a semi-transparent film and has a function of reducing a light intensity is applied to a photolithography process for forming a gate electrode to form a complicated gate electrode. In addition, a top-gate TFT that has the multi-gate structure described above and a top gate TFT that has a single-gate structure can be formed on the same substrate just by changing the mask without increasing the number of processes.

A complementary field effect element develops an intensified latch-up preventive property even if the distance between the emitters of parasitic transistors is short, and a method of producing the same are disclosed. The complementary field effect element includes a high concentration impurity layer (16) formed by ion implantation in the boundary region between a P-well (2) and an N-well (3) which are formed adjacent each other on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate (1). Therefore, carriers passing through the boundary region between the P-well (2) and the N-well (3) are decreased, so that even if the distance between the emitters (4, 5) of parasitic transistors is short, there is obtained an intensified latch-up preventive property.
摘要:
A MOS transistor comprises source and drain impurity regions on a surface of a silicon substrate. The source and drain regions have a double diffusion structure including impurity regions of high concentration and impurity regions of low concentration surrounding the high-concentration impurity regions. Outgoing electrode layers of polysilicon are formed on surfaces of the source and drain impurity regions. A gate electrode is formed to partially extend over the outgoing electrode layers for the source and drain impurity regions. The source and drain impurity regions are formed by implanting impurities into the electrode layers and subsequently diffusing the impurities into the semiconductor substrate by thermal diffusion. Those processes of impurity implantation and thermal diffusion are effected after completion of the step of patterning the gate electrode. Since thermal diffusion of the impurity implantation for the source and drain regions occurs as a final heat treatment step in the process, the depth of the impurity implanted regions can be precisely controlled.
