摘要:
A method for preparing an improved semiconductor device having a transistor and a capacitor or an element isolating region in or on a semiconductor substrate by a self-alignment process is provided. Each of the elements is formed using a previously formed element as a mask so that no additional processes are necessary to align the elements at the desired position. Specifically, a gate electrode is formed first and then a capacitor, element isolating region and contact hole are formed in such a way that the room required for alignment of the gate electrode and the capacitor, the gate electrode and the element isolating region and the gate electrode and the contact hole is reduced. The process is extremely advantageous for miniaturization of the semiconductor device. The device prepared by such a process is also provided.

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.
