Abstract:
A gate insulating film and a gate electrode of non-single crystalline silicon for forming an nMOS transistor are provided on a silicon substrate. Using the gate electrode as a mask, n-type dopants having a relatively large mass number (70 or more) such as As ions or Sb ions are implanted, to form a source/drain region of the nMOS transistor, whereby the gate electrode is amorphized. Subsequently, a silicon oxide film is provided to cover the gate electrode, at a temperature which is less than the one at which recrystallization of the gate electrode occurs. Thereafter, thermal processing is performed at a temperature of about 1000° C., whereby high compressive residual stress is exerted on the gate electrode, and high tensile stress is applied to a channel region under the gate electrode. As a result, carrier mobility of the nMOS transistor is enhanced.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor layer, a first insulating film, and a conductive film. The semiconductor layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A first trench reaching the semiconductor substrate is formed within the semiconductor layer. The first insulating film is formed on the inner side surface of the first trench such that a portion of the semiconductor substrate is exposed in the first trench. The conductive film is electrically connected with the semiconductor substrate and formed on the inner side surface of the first trench through the first insulating film. In plan view, a first length of the first trench in an extending direction of the first trench is greater than a second length of the first trench in a width direction perpendicular to the extending direction, and equal to or less than 30 μm.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device is provided, in which work of a parasitic bipolar transistor can be suppressed and a potential difference can be provided between a source region and a back gate region. A high voltage tolerant transistor formed over a semiconductor substrate includes: a well region of a first conductivity type; a first impurity region as the source region; and a second impurity region as a drain region. The semiconductor device further includes a third impurity region and a gate electrode for isolation. The third impurity region is formed, in planar view, between a pair of the first impurity regions, and from which a potential of the well region is extracted. The gate electrode for isolation is formed over the main surface between the first impurity region and the third impurity region.
