    摘要: In the manufacturing technology of an integrated MEMS in which a semiconductor integrated circuit (CMOS or the like) and a micro machine are monolithically integrated on a semiconductor substrate, a technology capable of manufacturing the integrated MEMS without using a special process different from the normal manufacturing technology of a semiconductor integrated circuit is provided. A MEMS structure is formed together with an integrated circuit by using the CMOS integrated circuit process. For example, when forming an acceleration sensor, a structure composed of a movable mass, an elastic beam and a fixed beam is formed by using the CMOS interconnect technology. Thereafter, an interlayer dielectric and the like are etched by using the CMOS process to form a cavity. Then, fine holes used in the etching are sealed with a dielectric.

    摘要: A normally-off type junction FET in which a channel resistance is reduced without lowering its blocking voltage is provided. In a junction FET formed with using a substrate made of silicon carbide, an impurity concentration of a channel region (second epitaxial layer) is made higher than an impurity concentration of a first epitaxial layer to be a drift layer. The channel region is formed of a first region in which a channel width is constant and a second region below the first region in which the channel width becomes wider toward the drain (substrate) side. A boundary between the first epitaxial layer and the second epitaxial layer is positioned in the second region in which the channel width becomes wider toward the drain (substrate) side.

    摘要: In a junction FET of a normally-off type, a technique capable of achieving both of improvement of a blocking voltage and reduction of an ON resistance is provided. In a junction FET using silicon carbide as a substrate material, impurities are doped to a vicinity of a p-n junction between a gate region and a channel-formed region, the impurities having a conductive type which is reverse to that of impurities doped in the gate region and same as that of impurities doped in the channel-formed region. In this manner, an impurity profile of the p-n junction becomes abrupt, and further, an impurity concentration of a junction region forming the p-n junction with the gate region in the channel-formed region is higher than those of a center region in the channel-formed region and of an epitaxial layer.

    摘要: A MONOS nonvolatile memory of a split gate structure, wherein writing and erasing are performed by hot electrons and hot holes respectively, is prone to cause electrons not to be erased and to remain in an Si nitride film on a select gate electrode sidewall and that results in the deterioration of rewriting durability. When long time erasing is applied as a measure to solve the problem, drawbacks appear, such as the increase of a circuit area caused by the increase of the erasing current and the deterioration of retention characteristics. In the present invention, an Si nitride film is formed by the reactive plasma sputter deposition method that enables oriented deposition and the Si nitride film on a select gate electrode sidewall is removed at the time when a top Si oxide film is formed.
