    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of performing circuit simulation of electrical characteristics of a transistor formed on a semiconductor substrate using calculators, each of which includes a memory. A first calculator receives mask layout data and distance-dependent data indicating a distance from the target transistor. Then, a second calculator calculates an area ratio of a layout pattern of a predetermined mask from the received mask layout data, and calculates a parameter α based on the area ratio and the distance-dependent data. Then, the second calculator B calculates a change ΔP in the electrical characteristics of the transistor based on the parameter α. This configuration provides highly accurate circuit simulation of the electrical characteristics of the transistor, which depend on variations in temperature distribution of the semiconductor substrate during heat treatment due to the mask layout pattern around the transistor.

    摘要: An active region and an isolation region are formed in the surface of a silicon semiconductor substrate having a (100) crystal plane as a principal surface. A gate insulating film and a gate electrode are formed on the active region in this order. A stress control film is formed to cover part of the active region where the gate electrode is not formed, the isolation region, the top surface of the gate electrode and sidewalls. A pair of stress control regions are formed to sandwich the gate electrode in the gate width direction of the gate electrode. In the stress control regions, the stress control film is not formed, or alternatively, a stress control film thinner than the stress control film formed on the gate electrode is formed.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device having paired transistors, an imbalance in characteristics of the paired transistors is reduced or prevented while an increase in circuit area is reduced or prevented. First and second transistors have first and second regions having the same active region pattern, and third and fourth transistors have third and fourth regions having the same active region pattern. The active regions of the third and fourth transistors have a longer length in the channel length direction than that of the active regions of the first and second transistors. The third and fourth regions have a narrower width in the channel length direction than that of the first and second regions.

    摘要: A circuit simulation apparatus and a modeling method are provided which are useful to design an integrated circuit in a very fine manner by forming a model of such a transistor that widths of element isolating-purpose insulating films are different from each other. In an isolation width depending parameter correcting means 4 of the present invention, an approximate expression of a parameter having an element isolating-purpose insulating film width depending characteristic is formed, and a value of a corrected parameter obtained by employing the formed approximate expression is replaced by a value of an original parameter, so that a transistor model of such a transistor is formed in which element isolating-purpose insulating film widths are different from each other. As a consequence, circuit simulation can be carried out in high precision by considering a change in transistor characteristics caused by a stress, which are approximated to actually measured data.
