    摘要: A heterojunction bipolar transistor is fabricated by stacking a Si collector layer, a SiGeC base layer and a Si emitter layer in this order. By making the amount of a lattice strain in the SiGeC base layer on the Si collector layer 1.0% or less, the band gap can be narrower than the band gap of the conventional practical SiGe (the Ge content is about 10%), and good crystalline can be maintained after a heat treatment. As a result, a narrow band gap base with no practical inconvenience can be realized.

    摘要: In a bipolar transistor block, a base layer (20a) of SiGe single crystals and an emitter layer (26) of almost 100% of Si single crystals are stacked in this order over a collector diffused layer (9). Over both edges of the base layer (20a), a base undercoat insulating film (5a) and base extended electrodes (22) made of polysilicon are provided. The base layer (20a) has a peripheral portion with a thickness equal to that of the base undercoat insulating film (5a) and a center portion thicker than the peripheral portion. The base undercoat insulating film (5a) and gate insulating films (5b and 5c) for a CMOS block are made of the same oxide film. A stress resulting from a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the SiGe layer as the base layer and the base undercoat insulating film 5a can be reduced, and a highly reliable BiCMOS device is realized.

    摘要: In the method for fabricating a semiconductor device of the present invention, a collector layer of a first conductivity type is formed in a region of a semiconductor substrate sandwiched by device isolation. A collector opening is formed through a first insulating layer deposited on the semiconductor substrate so that the range of the collector opening covers the collector layer and part of the device isolation. A semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type as an external base is formed on a portion of the semiconductor substrate located inside the collector opening, while junction leak prevention layers of the same conductivity type as the external base are formed in the semiconductor substrate. Thus, the active region is narrower than the collector opening reducing the transistor area, while minimizing junction leak.

    摘要: The bipolar transistor of the present invention includes a Si collector buried layer, a first base region made of a SiGeC layer having a high C content, a second base region made of a SiGeC layer having a low C content or a SiGe layer, and a Si cap layer 14 including an emitter region. The C content is less than 0.8% in at least the emitter-side boundary portion of the second base region. This suppresses formation of recombination centers due to a high C content in a depletion layer at the emitter-base junction, and improves electric characteristics such as the gain thanks to reduction in recombination current, while low-voltage driving is maintained.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory device (800) includes a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element (100) and a control circuit (810). The control circuit (810) determines whether a resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in a high resistance state is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. Moreover, if the resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in the high resistance state is smaller than the threshold value, the control circuit (810) applies a first voltage (VL1) to the nonvolatile memory element (100) to change a resistance state of the nonvolatile memory element (100) from the high resistance state to the low resistance state. Moreover, if the resistance value of the nonvolatile memory element (100) in the high resistance state is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the control circuit (810) applies to the nonvolatile memory element (100) a second voltage (VL2) an absolute value of which is smaller an absolute value of the first voltage (VL1) to change the resistance state of the nonvolatile memory element (100) from the high resistance state to the low resistance state.
