摘要:
The invention includes BIFETRAM devices. Such devices comprise a bipolar transistor in combination with a field effect transistor (FET) in a three-dimensional stacked configuration. The memory devices can be incorporated within semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) constructions. The base region of the bipolar device can be physically and electrically connected to one of the source/drain regions of the FET to act as a storage node for the memory cell. The semiconductor material of the SOI constructions can comprise Si/Ge, and the active region of the FET can extend into the Si/Ge. The SOI constructions can be formed over any of a number of substrates, including, for example, semiconductive materials, glass, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, metals and/or plastics.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device made up of a Bi-CMOS integrated circuit with the performance of MOS and bipolar elements enhanced. A semiconductor substrate surface is selectively oxidized to divide surface into a bipolar element forming area and a MOS element forming area. Next, the entire substrate surface is oxidized to form an oxide film 9, after which high-density ions are implanted into a collector leading area. Then, driving-in of the collector leading area is performed by performing heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere while forming an oxide film 9b on the collector leading area and another oxide film 9a on the MOS element forming area. Subsequently, the oxide film is etched all over the semiconductor substrate surface by the thickness of the oxide film 9a to expose the semiconductor substrate surface of the MOS element forming area. Lastly, the substrate surface is entirely oxidized to form a gate insulation film thinner than the oxide film 9.

A silicon oxide film and a polysilicon film are formed on a silicon substrate and are selectively etched to form a contact hole in a region where an emitter is to be formed. A polysilicon film is laid on the substrate and two polysilicon films are patterned to form an emitter electrode and a gate electrode made of the two polysilicon films which are doped with arsenic. The arsenic is diffused from the polysilicon films of the emitter electrode into the silicon substrate to form an N.sup.+ emitter layer which has a high concentration and is shallow. Consequently, the contamination of a gate insulator film can be prevented from occurring and a bipolar transistor having high performance, for example, a high current amplification factor or the like can be formed.

A BiCMOS device and a manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention has a gate insulating layer of NMOSFET having non-uniform thickness. The thickness of the end portion of the gate insulating layer, which is near LDD regions, is thicker than that of center portion. Therefore, the GIDL and the gate-drain overlap capacitance is reduced. In addition, in case of the bipolar transistor of the BiCMOS device, there exists a portion of an oxide film below the side portion of the emitter polysilicon and over the side portions of the emitter region. Since this structure serves as a gate of field effect transistor, N- channel is produced in the emitter region when the emitter-base junction is reversely biased and thus the hot carrier reliability is improved.

In a method for manufacturing a "BiCMOS" semiconductor integrated circuit, a gate oxide film 110 and a polysilicon film are grown on a semiconductor substrate, and after phosphorus is doped, the polysilicon film is patterned to form gate electrodes 112a and 112b and an emitter electrode 112c. A heat treatment is performed to form an emitter diffused region 113. Phosphorus and boron are selectively implanted with a low impurity concentration, respectively, to form a LDD N.sup.- region 114 and a LDD P.sup.- region 115. Thereafter, a side wall 116 is formed, and boron is implanted into areas B and C so as to form P.sup.+ source/drain regions 117 and a graft base region 18, respectively. Phosphorus is implanted to form N.sup.+ source/drain regions 119.
摘要:
Methods of forming BiCMOS semiconductor devices include steps for forming bird's beak shaped oxide extensions between the gate electrodes and drain and source regions of CMOS devices to inhibit drain leakage currents and reduce gate-to-drain capacitance. These methods also include steps for forming bird's beak shaped oxide extensions at the emitter-base junctions of BJTs to reduce hot carrier induced P-N junction breakdown. A preferred method includes the steps of forming a gate electrode of a field effect transistor on a face of a semiconductor substrate and then forming self-aligned source and drain regions in the substrate using the gate electrode as a mask. A first conductive layer is then formed on the source and drain regions and used to diffuse dopants into the source and drain regions to increase the conductivity therein. Simultaneously with this diffusion step, the ends of the gate electrode and the first conductive layer are oxidized to form first bird's beak shaped oxide extensions between the gate electrode and the source and drain regions. These first bird's beak shaped oxide extensions are preferably formed to reduce drain leakage currents and gate-to-source capacitance by, among other things, reducing the electric field between the drain-side end of the gate electrode and the drain region. The first conductive layer can also be etched back into discrete intermediate source and drain contact regions to facilitate the subsequent formation of source and drain electrodes in electrical contact with the source and drain regions. Similar steps can also be performed to simultaneously form bipolar junction transistors adjacent the field effect transistors.

摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor regions of a first conductive type and a plurality of semiconductor regions of a second conductive type. AMOS transistor having a channel of the second conductive type is formed in the semiconductor regions of the first conductive type, and a bipolar transistor and a MOS transistor having a channel of the first conductive type are formed in the semiconductor regions of the second conductive type. Each of the semiconductor regions of the first conductive type is made up of a semiconductor layer where the impurity concentration decreases with the depth from the surface thereof, a first buried layer of the first conductive type which is formed in a semiconductor substrate and where the impurity concentration distribution in the direction of thickness has a single peak value, and a second buried layer of the first conductive type which is formed between the semiconductor layer and the first buried layer and where the impurity concentration distribution in the direction of thickness has a single peak value. The first and second buried layers are formed by the ion implantation method, after an epitaxial growth process and a field oxidation process have been completed.
摘要:
In a bipolar or BiCMOS process, a heavily doped buried layer of a first conductivity type and a heavily doped channel stop region of a second conductivity type are formed in a lightly doped substrate of the second conductivity type. A lightly doped epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type is grown. An implant of the first conductivity type creates a guard ring around the bipolar transistor active region and also creates a higher-doped collector region inside the active region. In the BiCMOS process, during the formation of CMOS wells, a silicon nitride mask over the bipolar transistor inhibits oxidation of the epitaxial layer and the oxidation-enhanced diffusion of the buried layer. As a result, the epitaxial layer can be made thinner, reducing the collector resistance. The MOS transistor wells can be formed without an underlying buried layer, simplifying the process and decoupling the bipolar and MOS transistor characteristics from each other. A heavy implant of the second conductivity type creates a field implant region around each transistor. Around the bipolar transistor, the field implant region meets the channel stop region. Field oxide is grown over the field implant region by LOCOS process. A base region is formed inside the guard ring. Other features and embodiments are described in the specification, the drawings and the claims.
