摘要:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same improved in reliability of a gate insulating film by increasing a total charge amount Qbd by suppressing a film stress of a gate electrode formed of a polysilicon film, to a low value. Since the film stress is closely related to a film formation temperature, it is possible to reduce the film stress lower than the conventional case by forming a film at as a high temperature as 640° C. or more. At this time, when the film stress decreases, the total charge amount Qbd regulating dielectric breakdown of the film increases, improving reliability of the gate insulating film. It is therefore possible to set the film stress of the gate electrode at 200 MPA or less in terms of absolute value by forming the gate electrode at 640° C. or more.

摘要:
A semiconductor wafer having an impurity diffusion layer formed in an inner surface of a trench is cleaned. The semiconductor wafer is inserted into a furnace, and NH.sub.3 gas is introduced into the furnace in the low-pressure condition to create an atmosphere in which the temperature is set at 800.degree. C. to 1200.degree. C. and the partial pressures of H.sub.2 O and O.sub.2 are set at 1.times.10.sup.-4 Torr or less. A natural oxide film formed on the inner surface of the trench is removed, and substantially at the same time, a thermal nitride film is formed on the impurity diffusion layer. Then, a CVD silicon nitride film is formed on the thermal nitride film without exposing the thermal nitride film to the outside air in the same furnace. Next, a silicon oxide film is formed on the CVD nitride film. As a result, a composite insulative film formed of the thermal nitride film, CVD silicon nitride film and silicon oxide film is obtained. Then, an electrode for the composite insulative film is formed in the trench.

摘要:
A semiconductor device with an electrode wiring structure comprises at least one diffused region provided in a semiconductor substrate, a silicon oxide layer covering the substrate surface, a silicon nitride layer provided on the silicon oxide layer, a through-hole reaching the diffused region through the silicon oxide layer from an upper surface of the silicon nitride layer, a silicon semiconductor layer filled in the through-hole and serving as an electrode wiring layer, and an interconnection layer electrically connected to the diffused region through the silicon semiconductor layer. According to the structure, since the silicon oxide layer is covered with the silicon nitride layer, unwanted contaminations such as phosphorus, boron, etc., previously contained in the silicon oxide layer are not added to the silicon semiconductor layer during its growth process. Therefore, the electrode wiring layer of silicon semiconductor having controlled conductivity can be provided.

A semiconductor device is manufactured by forming a first insulating film on a surface of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, and a first nonmonocrystalline silicon film is formed on the first insulating film. A second insulating film is deposited on the first nonmonocrystalline silicon film by CVD, sputtering or molecular beam method. An impurity is then ion-implanted in the first nonmonocrystalline silicon film through the second insulating film. The second insulating film is then removed to expose the surface of the first nonmonocrystalline silicon film doped with the impurity, and a thermal oxide film is formed on the exposed portion of the first nonmonocrystalline silicon film. Subsequently, a second nonmonocrystalline silicon film is formed on the thermal oxide film, and a third insulating film is formed on the second nonmonocrystalline silicon film.
