    摘要: A drive circuit for a current sense IGBT having, in addition to a fault discrimination operational circuit for detecting an overcurrent of the current sense IGBT, a capacitor operatively connected in parallel to the gate-emitter of the current sense IGBT, and a transistor for discharging the capacitor via a resistor. In case of short-circuit fault, an overcurrent is detected by the fault discrimination operational circuit, and the transistor is turned on via the operational circuit. The gate voltage of the IGBT is gradually declined to turn off the IGBT. This enables the IGBT to be protected from a transitional overvoltage across the collector and emitter of the IGBT.

    摘要: A drive circuit for a voltage driven type semiconductor device having a serial circuit of a resistor and a Zener diode. One terminal of the serial circuit is connected to an output terminal (collector) of the semiconductor device. An overcurrent flowing in the semiconductor device is detected based on a current flowing through the serial circuit and the presence or absence of a drive signal fed to the drive circuit from an external control circuit. The detection level of the overcurrent can be adjusted by the voltage of the Zener diode, and the quick detection becomes possible. This arrangement makes it possible to detect an overcurrent in the semiconductor device, and hence to detect a shortcircuit in a circuit connected to that device in a minimal time required, thereby reducing the energy consumed in the semiconductor device during the short circuit.

    摘要: HfO2 films and ZrO2 films are currently being developed for use as capacitor dielectric films in 85 nm technology node DRAM. However, these films will be difficult to use in 65 nm technology node or later DRAM, since they have a relative dielectric constant of only 20-25. The dielectric constant of such films may be increased by stabilizing their cubic phase. However, this results in an increase in the leakage current along the crystal grain boundaries, which makes it difficult to use these films as capacitor dielectric films. To overcome this problem, the present invention dopes a base material of HfO2 or ZrO2 with an oxide of an element having a large ion radius, such as Y or La, to increase the oxygen coordination number of the base material and thereby increase its relative dielectric constant to 30 or higher even when the base material is in its amorphous state. Thus, the present invention provides dielectric films that can be used to form DRAM capacitors that meet the 65 nm technology node or later.

    摘要: To achieve a higher operating speed, higher reliability, and lower power consumption by reducing the thickness of an inter-poly silicon insulator film between a floating gate and a control gate of a flash memory, a silicon dioxide film, a silicon nitride film, tantalum pentoxide, and a silicon dioxide film are formed in a multilayer structure to serve as the inter-poly insulator film between a floating gate and a control gate. With this configuration, tantalum pentoxide formed on the silicon nitride film has a dielectric constant of 50 or more, which is higher than that of the silicon dioxide film, and the thickness of the inter-poly silicon insulator film can be reduced.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a capacitor having a lower electrode (102), a high-dielectric-constant or ferroelectric thin film (103), and an upper electrode (104) which are subsequently stacked. An impurity having an action of suppressing the catalytic activity of a metal or a conductive oxide constituting the electrode is added to the upper electrode (104). The addition of the impurity is effective to prevent inconveniences such as a reduction in capacitance, an insulation failure, and the peeling of the electrode due to hydrogen heat-treatment performed after formation of the upper electrode (104), and to improve the long-term reliability.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit in which the storage capacitor has an increased capacitance and a decreased leakage current. The storage capacitor is formed by the steps of: forming a polysilicon bottom electrode having semispherical silicon crystals formed thereon; performing plasma nitriding on the surface of said bottom electrode at a temperature lower than 550° C., thereby forming a film of silicon nitride having a film thickness smaller than 1.5 nm; and depositing a film of amorphous tantalum pentoxide and then crystallizing said amorphous tantalum pentoxide. The silicon nitride film has improved resistance to oxidation and also has a reduced leakage current. As a result, the polysilicon bottom electrode becomes resistant to oxidation and the storage capacitor increases in capacitance and decreases in leakage current.

    摘要: A diffusion preventive layer extending between the bottom surface of a lower electrode and an interconnection connecting the lower electrode to one of the diffusion layer of a switching transistor is self-aligned. As a result, side trench is produced since a hole pattern is formed by using a dummy film, and even if a contact plug of a memory section is misaligned with the diffusion preventive layer, the contact plug is out of direct contact with a dielectric film having a high permittivity. Hence, a highly reliable device can be obtained.
