摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate including an electronic element, interlayer dielectric (silicon oxide layer and BPSG layer) formed on the semiconductor substrate, a contact hole formed in the interlayer dielectric, a barrier layer formed on the interlayer dielectric and contact hole, and a wiring layer formed on the barrier layer. In the barrier layer, metal oxide (titanium oxide) are scattered in an island-like configuration. The barrier layer is formed by depositing a layer that is used to form the barrier layer and then introducing oxygen into the layer. The step is achieved by depositing a layer for the barrier layer, exposing the layer in oxygen plasma under reduced pressure, and subjecting the layer to the thermal processing, or, alternatively by depositing a layer for the barrier layer and subjecting the layer to thermal processing in an atmosphere of oxygen. The semiconductor device of the present invention has a barrier layer with excellent barrier properties.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that fills contact holes with conductive material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy. A semiconductor device is manufactured by the process of forming an opening such as a contact hole in an interlayer dielectric film formed on a semiconductor substrate having a device element formed thereon. A first film and a second film made of conductive material such as aluminum or an alloy containing aluminum are formed on the interlayer dielectric film and the opening. The second film is then gradually cooled.

When the temperature of an engine and a main battery is low at the time of activating a vehicle system, an ECU starts the engine in advance and outputs a running permission signal after completion of engine startup. At this stage, the ECU suspends a defect diagnosis operation on a subsidiary load and feedback-controls the DC/DC converter by setting the voltage control value to a level lower than the output voltage from the subsidiary battery and at least the lower limit of the operating voltage of the ECU. The ECU feedback-controls the DC/DC converter by setting the voltage control value to a level of at least the output voltage of the subsidiary battery in response to completion of engine start-up. Then, the suspension of the defect diagnosis operation on the subsidiary load is canceled and a running permission signal is output.

A power converter that can be used in a vehicle equipped with an electrical motor provides power to both the electrical motor and other, auxiliary loads, such as a headlamp, that require a different voltage. The power converter includes a first DC power supply that generates a first voltage equivalent to the voltage required by the auxiliary loads and a second DC power supply, connected in series with the first DC power supply, that generates a differential voltage, where the sum of the differential voltage and the first voltage is the voltage required to drive the electrical motor. A DC-DC converter is connected to the second power supply and converts the differential voltage to the voltage required to drive the auxiliary loads.
