摘要:
A semiconductor device is disclosed in which a groove type element isolation region in the surroundings of a first diffused layer of one conductivity type formed on the surface of a silicon substrate of the opposite conductivity type, an insulating film is embedded in the groove type element isolation region, and an interlayer insulating film is provided on the silicon substrate. A contact hole for connecting the first diffused layer to a metallic wiring is provided at a position that straddles the boundary between the first diffused layer and the groove type element isolation region, the insulating film embedded in the groove type element isolation region is exposed in a part of the bottom face of the contact hole, and the silicon substrate including the first diffused layer is exposed on the side face of the contact hole. On the surface of the silicon substrate exposed to the contact hole there is formed a second diffused layer of the one conductivity type, and this diffused layer is connected to the first diffused layer. Because of the structure as described in the above, the increase in the contact resistance between the first and the second diffused layer, and the metallic wiring can be suppressed even if the aperture of the contact hole is decreased. Moreover, it becomes unnecessary to provide a space between the contact hole and the groove type element isolation region so that it becomes possible to reduce the area of the first diffused layer, and it is effective to enhance the operating speed due to the increase in the integration of the semiconductor device and to the decrease in the junction capacitance.

摘要:
In a semiconductor device in which the surface of a semiconductor substrate which was subjected to impurity diffusion process, and includes a multilayer metal interconnection layer which is formed on top of it by alternately laminating a metal wiring layer and an interlayer insulating film, the present semiconductor device is characterized in that in a lower layer metal wiring layer there is provided a dummy wiring stripe which is arranged in parallel to two wiring stripes that are formed away from other wiring stripes at a space according to design rules. The width of the wiring stripe is augmented effectively due to the presence of the dummy stripe, and the holding quantity of the material of the coating film which constitutes a part of the interlayer insulating film is increased. Therefore, the flatness of the interlayer insulating film directly over these wiring stripes can be improved, and it becomes possible to secure the uniformity of the film of the upper layer metal wiring layer that is formed on top of the interlayer insulating film.
摘要:
In a MOS type semiconductor device, a first contact hole having a length similar to a width of source/drain diffusion layers is opened in a first layer insulation film. In the first contact hole, a refractory metal or the like is filled and a second layer insulation film is formed to cover the same. In the second layer insulation film, a second contact hole having an area smaller than that of the first contact hole is opened and, through this second contact hole, an aluminum interconnection and the source/drain regions are electrically connected. Therefore, it becomes possible to avoid decrease of ON current of a transistor owing to resistance elements of the source/drain diffusion layers and at the same time to reduce an area occupied by the aluminum interconnection to be connected to the source/drain regions on a transistor device.
