    摘要: Methods and apparatus are described that reduce the possibility that unintended subway short-circuits will occur between contacts of different potentials along the boundary between tensile and compressive liners (the T-C boundary). This may be done without unduly increasing the size of the semiconductor device, or even increasing the size at all over previous designs. For example, simply by adjusting the layout of the device, the contacts of two different common gates may be offset in opposing directions relative to the T-C boundary. Or, by forming a T-C boundary having a zigzag or other similar pattern, the contacts may be arranged even closer together while still reducing the likelihood of short-circuiting subways forming. Such layout adjustments do not otherwise require any additional steps or cost.

    摘要: Capacitors are formed in the trenches made in an interlayer insulator made of silicon oxide. An insulating film (e.g., a silicon nitride film) is provided on the sides of each trench of the interlayer insulator. A storage electrode made of ruthenium or the like is provided in each trench of the interlayer insulator. A capacitor insulating film made of BSTO or the like is formed on the storage electrode. A plate electrode made of ruthenium or the like is formed on the capacitor insulating film. The plate electrode is common to all capacitors provided. Any two adjacent capacitors are electrically isolated by the interlayer insulator and the insulating film provided on the sides of the trenches of the interlayer insulator.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of forming an element isolation insulating film by STI (shallow trench isolation) method, which permits effectively preventing a concave portion from being formed in an edge of the element isolation insulating film, permits decreasing the number of treating steps, and also permits facilitating the formation of the element isolation insulating film with a high yield. In forming the element isolation insulating film, a groove is formed in a surface region of a semiconductor substrate, followed by forming an insulating film on the entire surface to fill at least the groove. Then, a flattening treatment is applied at least once to remove the insulating film from the substrate surface such that the insulating film is left unremoved only within the groove. In place of a wet etching treatment, a mirror-polishing method is employed for the last flattening treatment.

    摘要: This invention provides a capacitor including a metal lower electrode having an undulated shape and an improved electrode area, and a method of manufacturing the same. A capacitor for data storage is formed on a semiconductor substrate (not shown) via an insulating interlayer having a contact plug. The capacitor has a lower electrode whose inner and outer surfaces are rough or undulated such that one surface has a shape conforming to the shape of the other surface, a dielectric film formed to cover the surfaces of the lower electrode, and an upper electrode formed to cover the lower electrode via the dielectric film. The lower electrode has a cylindrical shape with an open upper end. The lower electrode is connected to a cell transistor through the contact plug. The lower electrode is formed from a metal or a metal oxide.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a first conducting layer formed above the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, a second conducting layer formed above the first conducting layer through a first insulating layer and connected to the first conducting layer through a first via-conductor formed in a first contact hole formed in the first insulating layer, and a third conducting layer formed beneath the second conducting layer through a second insulating layer and connected to the second conducting layer through a second via-conductor formed in a second contact hole formed in the second insulating layer, in which an angle formed by a tangent to an inner wall of the first contact hole and a normal to the first conducting layer at a portion of the first conducting layer at which the first contact hole is in contact with the first conducting layer, is larger than an angle formed by a tangent to an inner wall of the second contact hole and a normal to the third conducting layer at a portion of the third conducting layer at which the second contact hole is in contact with the third conducting layer. By virtue of this structure, it is possible to avoid influence of electrical potential variation upon the first conducting layer in the manufacturing process.
