摘要:
In a method of making integrated circuits, prior to vapor deposition of metal layers on an insulating layer for interconnection, each opening on the insulating layer is filled with an embedded metal layer in order to smoothen the surface to be vapor deposited and to avoid undesirable thin parts of the vapor deposited metal layer at the step between the lower part in the opening and the elevated part on the insulating layer. The filling of the embedded metal layer in each opening is made by a first step of coating a metal layer on the whole surface of the principal face of the semi-conductor, which surface is coated by the insulating layer with specified openings and further by a photoresist layer which has been used for etching the insulating layer to form said openings and is left covering said insulating layer, and by the subsequent step of applying a photoresist removing liquid on the face to remove the photoresist layer and the part of metal layer still remaining on the photoresist layer.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device of the bipolar type of the MOS type or an integration of the two types having high integration and high performance, in which the circuit includes a first device region of which the side surface and entire region of the lower portion of the active region are made of silicon oxide and a second device region of which the side surface and a part of the lower portion of the active region are made of silicon oxide. According to the present invention, a transistor whose bottom portion is opened and a transistor whose bottom portion is not opened can be freely provided on a substrate, thereby dividing the transistors into a transistor to which a voltage can be supplied from the substrate and a transistor to which the voltage can not be supplied from the substrate, so that the wiring which has been conventionally needed can be reduced. In addition, in such transistors which are completely separated, the parasitic effect with the circumference is completely prevented so that excellent characteristics can be provided.

In a stacked, multilayer IIL (integrated injection logic) circuit, with which power consumption can be significantly reduced, a discharging circuit constructed of an IIL constant-current circuit or of a resistor is provided for one of transistors which are used for shifting the level of a signal from an IIL circuit of a top layer to an IIL circuit of a bottom layer, so that signal transmission therebetween is prevented from deterioration. A charging circuit may be added to another transistor, while a diode may be interposed between these transistors. Additional diodes may be interposed between adjacent layers for speeding up the signal transmission from one layer to another upper layer.

In a semiconductor IC, a vertical pnp or npn transistor of a uniform characteristic and a high breakdown voltage is made by forming, for example, a p.sup.- -collector region (39) in an n-type epitaxial region, an n-well base region (41) formed in the p.sup.- -collector region (39) and a p-emitter region (42) formed in the n-well base region (41); and furthermore, for example as shown in FIG. 9, p.sup.- -regions (40) and (49) are formed simultaneously with the p.sup.- -collector region (39) and an n-region (53) is formed simultaneously with the n-well base region (41), thereby constituting IIL of superior characteristics and a high resistance device at the same time as forming of the vertical transistor without substantial increase of manufacturing steps; and in the similar way, by combining the p.sup.- -region and n-region formed in the above-mentioned simultaneous steps with other region formed simultaneously with the forming of the vertical transistor, high h.sub.FE transistor, high speed vertical npn transistor, cross-over devices, p-channel and/or n-channel MOS transistors can be formed within limited manufacturing steps.

A first logic circuit comprises coupling gate circuits driven by clock pulses of different phases, flip-flop circuits cascade-connected via the coupling gate circuits and feedback circuits for feeding back the outputs of the flip-flop circuits to the preceding stage flip-flop circuits, and generates pulse sequences of different phases. A second logic circuit further comprises latch circuits one for each of the flip-flop circuits, driven by the pulse sequences generated by the first logic circuit. Those logic circuits are useful to a successive approximation register of a successive approximation A/D converter.

Disclosed is a method of isolating a transistor perfectly by employing a selective oxidation technology (LOCOS technology). More particularly, vertical openings are formed in the surface of {100} silicon substrate, and oxidation resistant films are formed of this surface and in part of the side walls of these openings. In succession, by etching with an etchant having an orientation anisotropy, dents are formed at high precision in the side walls of the openings. By oxidizing using the oxidation resistant film as the mask, an oxide film growing out from a dent in the opening side wall is connected with another oxide film growing out from an adjacent dent. The transistor thus formed in the active region of the silicon electrically isolated from the substrate is small in parasitic capacitance and may be formed into a small size, so that it possesses the features suited to VLSI, that is, high speed, low power consumption, and processability to high density integration.

摘要:
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, wherein a semiconductor substrate is vertically etched to form a groove, antioxidant insulating films are formed on the side walls of the groove, and local oxidation is performed. Lateral extrusion of an oxide film which is a so-called bird's beak and a projection of the oxide film which is a so-called bird's head are substantially eliminated. As a result, the active region of the transistor, that is, the element formation region may not be narrowed, providing high packing density and high precision. Furthermore, the surface of the semiconductor substrate is flattened to prevent short-circuiting and disconnections of wiring layers. Stable manufacturing process provides a high yield of the semiconductor device. Electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device are greatly improved.
