摘要:
A semiconductor device has an electrically insulating substrate and a semiconductor layer formed on the insulating substrate. A plurality of semiconductor regions are defined so as to be joined to each other to form at least two homojunctions in the semiconductor layer. A lead conductor for one of the semiconductor regions which is required to have a small thickness has a specific structure such that the lead conductor is in contact with the one semiconductor region at the main surface of the semiconductor layer for electrical connection therebetween and extends over that portion of the semiconductor layer which contributes to definition of at least one of the semiconductor regions other than the first-mentioned one semiconductor region.

Provided is a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device which comprises forming, all over the surface of a substrate below the channel region of a MISFET, a p type impurity layer having a first peak in impurity concentration distribution and another p type impurity layer having a second peak in impurity concentration distribution, each layer having a function of preventing punch-through. Compared with a device having a punch through stopper layer of a pocket structure, the device of the present invention is suppressed in fluctuations in the threshold voltage. Moreover, with a relative increase in the controllable width of a depletion layer, a sub-threshold swing becomes small, thereby making it possible to prevent lowering of the threshold voltage and to improve a switching rate of the MISFET.

The present invention provides a semiconductor device including n-channel field effect transistors and p-channel field effect transistors all of which have excellent drain current characteristics.In a semiconductor device including an n-channel field effect transistor 10 and a p-channel field effect transistor 30, a stress control film 19 covering a gate electrode 15 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10 undergoes film stress mainly composed of tensile stress. A stress control film 39 covering a gate electrode 15 of the p-channel field effect transistor 30 undergoes film stress mainly caused by compression stress compared to the film 19 of the n-channel field effect transistor 10. Accordingly, drain current is expected to be improved in both the n-channel field effect transistor and the p-channel field effect transistor. Consequently, the characteristics can be generally improved.

An impurity diffusion method which can control a surface atomic concentration from a low to a high surface atomic concentration with a good uniformity is provided. Natural oxide is removed from the surface of a semiconductor substrate with a deoxidizing atmosphere gas as a diffusion atmosphere gas in advance, and then an impurity gas is passed thereto, while passing the deoxidizing atmosphere gas thereto, thereby conducting the diffusion. Flow rate or concentration of impurity of the impurity gas is so set that the impurity atomic concentration of the diffusion layer can be controlled by the flow rate or the concentration of impurity of the impurity gas. The impurity atomic concentration of the diffusion layer can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate or concentration of impurity of the impurity gas, and a diffusion layer having a low impurity atomic concentration can be formed. A shallow junction having a depth of not more than 50 nm can be formed.
摘要:
A vertical bipolar transistor arrangement in which the distance between the emitter and the isolation region is kept within a range determined by the sum of emitter depth and base width (i.e., the thickness of the base in the depth direction). This keeps the carriers given by the emitter from getting trapped inside, thereby preventing the cut-off frequency from dropping.
