摘要:
The semiconductor integrated circuit (1) has a memory (4) and a logic circuit (5), which are mixedly palletized on a silicon substrate (2). The memory includes a partially-depleted type nMOS (6) having an SOI structure and formed on UTB (3). The partially-depleted type nMOS has a backgate region (14) under UTB, to which a voltage can be applied independently of a corresponding gate terminal. The logic circuit includes an nMOS (7) and a pMOS (8), and both are of a fully-depleted type, formed on UTB and have an SOI structure. The fully-depleted type nMOS and pMOS have backgate regions (14, 22) under respective UTBs, to which voltages can be applied independently of the corresponding gate terminals

A technique to be applied to a semiconductor device for achieving low power consumption by improving a shape at a boundary portion of a shallow trench and an SOI layer of an SOI substrate. A position (SOI edge) at which a main surface of a silicon substrate and a line extended along a side surface of an SOI layer are crossed is recessed away from a shallow-trench isolation more than a position (STI edge) at which a line extended along a sidewall of a shallow trench and a line extended along the main surface of the silicon substrate are crossed, and a corner of the silicon substrate at the STI edge has a curved surface.

To provide TFT of improved low-temperature polycrystalline layer that has higher electron mobility and assures less fluctuation in manufacture in view of realizing a liquid-crystal display device having a large display area by utilizing a glass substrate. A TFT having higher electron mobility can be realized within the predetermined range of characteristic fluctuation by utilizing the semiconductor thin-film (called quasi single crystal thin-film) formed of poly-crystal grain joined with the {111} twin-boundary of Diamond structure as the channel region (namely, active region) of TFT.

Provided is a technology capable of suppressing a reduction in electron mobility in a channel region formed in a strained silicon layer. A p type strained silicon layer is formed over a p type silicon-germanium layer formed over a semiconductor substrate. The p type strained layer has a thickness adjusted to be thicker than the critical film thickness at which no misfit dislocation occurs. Accordingly, misfit dislocations occur in the vicinity of the interface between the p type strained silicon layer and p type silicon-germanium layer. At a position which is below the end of a gate electrode and at which misfit dislocations occur, the impurity concentration of the n type strained silicon layer and n type silicon-germanium layer is 1×1019 cm−3 or less.

摘要:
Gases for film formation are introduced from a plurality of holes provided at a gas nozzle into a processing chamber of a batch-type CVD film-forming apparatus to cause a turbulence of the gases within the processing chamber. In the state where the chamber is kept at a pressure within an atmospheric and quasi-atmospheric pressure region, a silicon-germanium film is epitaxially grown on a semiconductor wafer placed within the processing chamber. Subsequently, a strained silicon film is epitaxially grown on the silicon-germanium film. Thereafter, a semiconductor element is formed in the semiconductor wafer on which the silicon-germanium film and the strained silicon film have been formed, respectively.
