摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a peripheral transistor having a strengthened ESD resistance for external connection. The peripheral transistor has a channel structure effective to release an electrostatic stress current more efficiently than an internal transistor of the semiconductor integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a channel portion that is shorter than the channel portion of an internal transistor. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a substrate contact, a ground line, and an additional resistor interconnection between them to efficiently release an electrostatic stress current. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has an asymmetric channel structure so that the distance between the source contact and the gate electrode is set shorter than the distance between the drain contact and the gate electrode. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a drain region and a gate insulating film having a portion of the insulating film that is thinner than the rest of the gate insulating film. In another embodiment, a gate contact is electrically connected between a gate electrode and a metal gate line of the peripheral transistor to reduce a resistance therebetween. In another embodiment, the peripheral transistor has a transistor breakdown voltage that is smaller than a gate breakdown voltage to efficiently release electrostatic stress current.

A semiconductor device including multiple high-voltage drive transistors in its output section is improved in electrostatic withstand voltage by connecting electrostatic protection transistors in parallel with the high-voltage drive transistors connected to the output pads. The drain withstand voltage of the electrostatic protection transistors is made lower than the drain withstand voltage of the high-voltage drive transistors. In addition, the channel length of electrostatic protection transistors is made short to enable efficient bipolar operation of the electrostatic protection transistors.

The semiconductor nonvolatile memory has integrated memory cells, each being operative to carry out writing and reading of information in random-access basis and having an electric charge storage structure effective to memorize the information in nonvolatile state. The information is temporarily written into each memory cell in volatile state, and thereafter the temporarily written information is written at one into the respective electric charge storage structure of each memory cell, thereby effecting quick writing of nonvolatile information into the respective memory cells of multi-bits.

The invention provides a semi-conductor light valve device and a process for fabricating the same. The device comprises a composite substrate having a supporte substrate, a light-shielding thin film formed on said supporte substrate and semiconductive thin film disposed on the light-shielding thin film with interposing an insulating thin film. A switching element made of a transistor and a transparent electrode for driving light valve are formed on the semiconductive thin film, and the switching element and the transparent electrode are connected electrically with each other. The transistor includes a channel region in the semiconductive thin film and a main gate electrode for controlling the conduction in the channel region, and the light-shielding thin film layer is so formed as to cover the channel region on the side opposite to said channel region, so as to prevent effectively a back channel and shut off the incident light.

A light valve device has a drive substrate integrated with a drive electrode. A transistor is connected to the drive electrode and a driving circuit energizes the drive electrode through the transistor. An opposed substrate is provided opposed to the drive electrode, and an electrooptical material layer is disposed between the drive substrate and the opposed substrate. The drive substrate has a structure comprising a substrate layer and a semiconductor single crystal thin film layer. The semiconductor single crystal thin film layer is made by thinning a semiconductor single crystal wafer which has been bonded to the substrate layer. The light valve device has a small size and high pixel density and can be formed using miniaturization technology. The light valve can be used for a small size, high resolution video projector and a color matrix display device.

A thermosensitive semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type which is used as the common collector of at least two Darlington-connected transistors. The base of the first stage transistor is connected to the common collector to form a first terminal and the emitter of the final stage transistor forms a second terminal. A constant current source is connected between the first and second terminals. To reduce deviations in the temperature response, a second collector region can be used and which can extend to a depth deeper than the depth of the emitter of the final stage transistor to absorb some of the carriers injected by the emitter.
