摘要:
A semiconductor memory device comprises a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate (1) formed thereon with a charge storage region (5) and a second conductivity type region (6) serving as a bit line, and first conductivity type highly concentrated regions (8, 11) higher in concentration than the semiconductor substrate (1) at least by one digit are formed to enclose the charge storage region (5) and the bit line region (6) respectively. Thus, potential barriers against electrons can be defined in interfaces between the highly concentrated region (8) and the charge storage region (5) and between the highly concentrated region (11) and the bit line region (6), thereby to prevent malfunction caused by incidence of radioactive rays such as alpha rays.

A semiconductor device having a plurality of conductive layers is disclosed. The device has first level conductors (9) formed spaced apart on a semiconductor substrate (1). The semiconductor substrate (1) is provided with impurity diffusion regions (11) in its major surface between adjacent first level conductors (9). A triple layer insulation formed of a pair of oxide layers (12, 14) and an silicon oxide layer (13) sandwiched between the oxide layers (12, 14) covers the semiconductor substrate (1) and the first level conductors (9) thereon. At least one contact hole (15) is formed to extend through the triple layer insulation to either the impurity diffusion region (11) in the semiconductor substrate (1) or the first level conductor (9) on the semiconductor substrate (1). A second level conductor (16, 17) is provided on the triple layer insulation and on the inner surrounding wall of the contact hole (15). Each of the three insulating layers in the triple layer insulation has its hole-defining surface exposed at the contact hole (15) flush with or displaced laterally into the contact hole (15) away from a corresponding hole-defining exposed surface of the next overlying insulating layer.
摘要:
Two trenches are formed at a predetermined distance on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate. An oxide film and a nitride film are successively formed on the main surface of the semiconductor including the inner surfaces of the trenches. After a resist is formed over the whole surface including the inner surfaces of the trenches, the resist is patterned to expose a portion of the nitride film on a side surface of each trench. The exposed portions of the nitride film are removed by using the patterned resist as a mask and thermal oxidation is applied. Then, an isolation oxide film is formed on a region between the trenches and an end of a bird's beak is located on a side surface of each trench and is connected to the oxide film formed in each trench.

A DRAM according to the present invention comprises a memory cell array having memory cells constituted by one transfer gate transistor (10) and a capacitor (11), and a peripheral circuit having a MOS transistor (45a) with the LDD structure. At least the source/drain region (19) connected to the capacitor of the transfer gate transistor is formed of a low concentration impurity region (19a). The low concentration impurity region has an impurity concentration substantially equal to that of the low concentration source/drain region (31) of the LDD MOS transistor of the peripheral circuit. The low concentration/drain region of the transfer gate transistor is formed by masking the surface thereof at the time of the high concentration ion implantation step for high concentration source/drain formation of the MOS transistor of the peripheral circuit. By omitting the high concentration ion implantation step, the substrate deficiency of the source/drain region of the transfer gate transistor is eliminated to suppress leakage of the charge from the capacitor.

An element isolating structure employed for isolating the elements of a semiconductor substrate has an impurity region having a concentration lower than that of a source/drain and a channel stop region, between the source/drain of an MOS transistor formed in an active region, and the channel stop region formed under an LOCOS film.A field shield isolating structure has a low concentrated impurity region between the source/drain of an MOS transistor formed in the active region and the substrate surface region covered by a field shield electrode layer. The low concentrated impurity region improves its junction breakdown voltage in the boundary region with the element isolating region.An improved LOCOS film is formed into an amorphous region on the surface of the substrate by an oblique rotating ion implanting method, and the amorphous region is formed by thermal oxidation. The method suppresses the emergence of a bird's beak.

A memory cell of a semiconductor memory device comprises one MOS transistor (3) and one stacked capacitor (4). One of the source/drain regions (8a, 8b) of the MOS transistor is connected to a bit line (2a, 2b). The bit line is formed from a contact portion to the source/drain regions of the MOS transistor to a portion above the stacked capacitor. The bit line is formed of a metal having high melting point, a silicide of a metal having high melting point or a polycide. Since this material has low reflectance against exposing light, the precision in patterning the interconnection is improved.
