摘要:
An improved method of manufacturing semiconductor devices having a stacked structure is disclosed. A p-channel semiconductor substrate is prepared, and on the major surface of the substrate, n-channel source and drain regions and a gate electrode are formed to provide a n-channel transistor. Sidewalls are formed of P type single-crystal silicon on the opposite size of the gate electrode of n-channel transistor with an insulating layer interposed between the sidewalls and the gate electrode. A single-crystal layer covers the source, drain and gate electrode of the n-channel transistor and the sidewall structures. A P type impurity present in the sidewalls is diffused into the single-crystal layer.

According to a semiconductor device of the present invention, a field oxide film is formed so as to cover the main surface of an SOI layer and to reach the main surface of a buried oxide film. As a result, a pMOS active region of the SOI and an nMOS active region of the SOI can be electrically isolated completely. Therefore, latchup can be prevented completely. As a result, it is possible to provide a semiconductor device using an SOI substrate which can implement high integration by eliminating reduction of the breakdown voltage between source and drain, which was a problem of a conventional SOI field effect transistor, as well as by efficiently disposing a body contact region, which hampers high integration, and a method of manufacturing the same.

A semiconductor device in which parasitic resistance of source/drain regions can be reduced than the parasitic resistance of the drain region, and manufacturing method thereof, can be obtained. In the semiconductor device, inactivating ions are implanted only to the source region of the semiconductor layer, so as to damage the crystal near the surface of the semiconductor layer, whereby siliciding reaction is promoted. Therefore, in the source region, a titanium silicide film which is thicker can be formed.

Generation of parasitic transistor in active layer edge is prevented, in an NMOS region of a semiconductor layer (21) on an insulating film (20), boron ions are implanted by rotary oblique injection, using a nitride film (23) and a resist (253a) as mask. In the vicinity of a region for separating element by LOCOS method, that is, only in the edge region of the semiconductor layer (21) as the active layer of NMOS transistor, boron ions are implanted by about 3.times.10.sup.13 /cm.sup.2.

摘要:
Disclosed herein is a process for producing a single crystal layer of a semiconductor device, which comprises the steps of providing an oxide insulator layer separated by an opening part for seeding, on a major surface of a single crystal semiconductor substrate of the cubic system, providing a polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor layer on the entire surface of the insulator layer inclusive of the opening part, then providing a protective layer comprising at least a reflective or anti-reflection film comprising stripes of a predetermined width, in a predetermined direction relative to the opening part and at a predetermined interval, the protective layer capable of controlling the temperature distributions in the semiconductor layer at the parts corresponding to the stripes or the parts not corresponding to the stripes, thereby completing a base for producing a semiconductor device, thereafter the surface of the base is irradiated with an energy beam through the striped reflective or anti-reflection film to melt the polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor and scanning the energy beam in a predetermined direction such that the direction of the crystal of the semiconductor re-solidified and converted into a single crystal accords with a {111} plane, to produce the single crystal of the semiconductor device. Also disclosed is a semiconductor device produced by the method, which comprises a single crystal layer having a wide range of a crystal in a predetermined direction relative to the facial orientation of the major surface of the substrate, and has a three-dimensional semiconductor circuit element construction.
摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for detecting the three-dimensional configuration of an object employing an optical cutting method. A light projector pulse-flashes slit-shaped light and causes the light to scan an object at a predetermined speed. An image sensor having a plurality of pixels is disposed in opposition to the object. An optical system forms on the image sensor an image of an optical cutting line formed on the surface of the object by the light. A difference detector detects the difference between the on- and off- levels of each of pulses of the image detected by the pixels of the sensor. A time calculator calculates the time at which the image has passed each of the pixels, on the basis of the difference detected by the difference detector. A configuration calculator calculates the three-dimensional configuration of the object on the basis of the calculated passage time and the scanning speed of the slit-shaped light. Since the difference between the levels of each pulse of the image is obtained, any optical signals resulting from a factor other than the pertinent pulses, such as influence by the background of the object, or a flash can be excluded, and the configuration can be detected with a high level of precision.
