摘要:
A method of making semiconductor devices which enables control of the impurity concentration and fine patterning by making removal of residual stress due LOCOS oxidation compatible with the formation of deep wells. A selective oxide layer is formed for separating element regions on a principal plane of a semiconductor substrate, for example, a p.sup.- -type silicon substrate 1. A mask is formed (for example photoresist 47) on the surface including the selective oxide layer and impurities (for example phosphorous) of a conductivity type opposite that of the semiconductor substrate are introduced via an opening in the mask. Then the selective oxide film is annealed by a high-temperature treatment while a deep well (for example n-type deep well 50) is formed by introducing the impurities.

A semiconductor device, such as a dynamic RAM, and method of making it. A number of stacked cell capacitors are placed at a prescribed spacing in an alignment direction on top of a p.sup.- -type silicon substrate (1). Each capacitor has a nearly perpendicular cylindrical lower electrode (cylindrical polysilicon layer (96)), a dielectric film (silicon nitride film (77)), and upper electrode (plate electrode (78) made of polysilicon). The spacing in the alignment direction is smaller than the inner diameter of the lower electrode.

In an embodiment of a method of manufacturing semiconductor integrated circuit devices according to the present invention, word lines are provided in a straight form, which serve as gate electrodes of two selecting MOSFETs formed symmetrical about a center portion of an active region surrounded by a LOCOS oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, and bit lines have straight segments and protruding segments. Each protruding segment is formed to protrude from the bit line and is connected through a first contact hole to a first semiconductor region formed at the center portion of the active region. The straight line segments and the protruding segments are formed separately by two separate exposure steps.

A method for fabricating DRAMs each having a COB structure, and the semiconductor device formed by this method, are provided. In one embodiment, the word line and/or bit line is covered with an insulating film having a comparatively small etching rate. Contact holes are formed while being defined by those insulating films in self-alignment.
摘要:
A phase shifting mask is used for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device including a conductor pattern in which the line width of patterned conductor strips or the space between patterned conductor strips is not constant. For main transparent areas in the mask corresponding to the conductor pattern, auxiliary pattern segments are provided for compensating changes in the phase distribution of transmitted light caused by changes of the line width or the space. Alternately, the spaces between the conductor strips are adjusted to suppress the changes in the phase distribution of transmitted light. Whether the auxiliary pattern segments should have the phase shifting function is determined depending upon the disposition of the main transparent areas.

A memory device has a semiconductor substrate, and memory cells provided at intersections between word line conductors and bit line conductors. Each memory cell has a switching transistor and an information storage capacitor. Adjacent two memory cells for each bit line conductor form a memory cell pair unit structure, in which first semiconductor regions of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are united at their boundary into a single region and are connected to one of the bit line conductors via a bit line connection conductor, the gate electrodes of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are connected to word line conductors adjacent to each other, respectively, the second semiconductor regions of the transistors of the adjacent two memory cells are connected to the respective information storage capacitors. A series of memory cell pair unit structures formed under one bit line conductor is positionally shifted with respect to a series of memory cell pair unit structures formed under adjacent first and second bit line conductors on opposite sides of the one bit line conductor, respectively, such that a second information storage capacitor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the adjacent first bit line conductor and a first information storage capacitor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the adjacent second bit line conductor are located adjacent to a bit line connection conductor of a memory cell pair unit structure formed under the one bit line conductor.
