    摘要: A semiconductor memory device achieves a high capacitance value even when the elements are made extremely small as the degree of integration is increased. A method of producing such a semiconductor memory maintains a high capacitance value while achieving increased integration. A semiconductor memory device includes adjacent capacitor lower electrodes which are separated by a width of 0.2 &mgr;m while the ratio of the capacitor lower electrode height to the separation width is 1, the capacitor upper electrode covers the capacitor insulation film, and steps generated in the separated portion of the capacitor lower electrodes are filled by the upper electrode material. A method of manufacturing produces a semiconductor memory device wherein the capacitor upper electrode is formed in plasma which includes etchable gas by chemical or physical action.

    摘要: A semiconductor device such as DRAM including a capacitor, wherein a lower electrode of the capacitor is a metal electrode, the metal electrode being mainly composed of ruthenium or iridium, and being connected directly to a capacitor dielectric film through no oxide layer of materials of the metal electrode formed on the surface of the metal electrode. The lower electrode made of iridium or ruthenium can easily be processed as compared with the conventional case where platinum is employed to form the electrode and also can not be oxidized when the capacitor dielectric film is formed, thus reduction in the capacitance can be prevented.

    摘要: The inventive nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, rewriting stored information with the quantity of charges of a dielectric material, comprises a ferroelectric film having a hysteresis characteristic in a dependency of an electric field density and an-electric field and a nonlinear element electrically connected with the ferroelectric film. In this nonlinear element, the quantity of increase of a positive electric flux density with respect to an electric field is small in a low field region and large in a high field region in a dependency of the electric flux density and the electric field. Thus, it is possible to obtain a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of suppressing dispersion in coercive filed and preventing reduction of voltage resistance without increasing the chip area.

    摘要: A magnetic field detection device including a magnetic body (magnetic flux guide) provided for adjusting a magnetic field to be applied to a magneto-resistance element. A shape of an on-substrate magnetic body in plan view is a tapered shape on one end portion side and a substantially funnel shape on another end portion side opposite the one end portion, the another end portion being larger in width than the one end portion, and a magneto-resistance element is disposed in front of an output-side end portion. In the on-substrate magnetic body, a contour of a tapered portion is not linear like a funnel, but has a curved shape in which a first curved portion protruding outward with a gentle curvature and a second curved portion protruding inward with a curvature similar to that of the first curved portion are continuously formed.
