    Abstract: A first transparent protection layer is formed on color filters, and micro lenses are further formed on the first transparent protection layer. Then unevenness due to the micro lenses is flattened by a first transparent resin layer which has water repellency and oil repellency (low surface energy), a high transmittance in visible light range, a high flattening capability in a coating process, and a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the micro lenses. With the above-mentioned arrangement, dust or the like can be difficult to contaminate the surface of the solid state image sensor without loosing the light converging effect of the micro lenses. Even when dust or the like attaches to the surface, it can be easily removed with a cotton swab or the like.

    Abstract: A long-life, electrically writable and erasable non-volatile semiconductor memory device is disclosed. The memory device is fabricated in the following steps. After forming a first gate insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, a window is opened in the first gate insulating film to expose a portion of the surface of the semiconductor substrate, using a two-step etching technique in which dry etching and wet etching are performed successively. The exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate not over-etched is selectively oxidized to form a tunnel insulating film (second gate insulating film) having edge portions resistant to dielectric breakdown. Thereafter, a floating gate, a third gate insulating film, and a control gate are formed sequentially. The floating gate is patterned in such a way as to cover the entire tunnel insulating film or cross only a portion of an edge of the tunnel insulating film. The stress caused to the tunnel insulating film as a result of the oxidation process for forming the third gate insulating film is relieved, providing the tunnel insulating film with resistance to dielectric strength.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a superior step coverage of a layer formed inside or near a contact-hole is provided. An intermediate conductive layer is formed through an insulating layer on a lower conductive layer on a semiconductor substrate, and first, second and third inter-layer insulating layers are formed on the intermediate conductive layer. The third inter-layer insulating layer is selectively removed by an isotropic wet etching method thereby to form a through-hole extended to the second inter-layer insulating layer and having a large opening area. In performing this, the second inter-layer insulating layer acts to restrict the removal of the third inter-layer insulating layer in the thickness direction. Next, the first and second inter-layer insulating layers are selectively removed by an anisotropic dry etching method thereby to form a through-hole having a small opening area. The through-hole having a large opening area and the through-hole having a small opening area form a contact-hole. Subsequently, an upper conductive layer is formed on the third inter-layer insulating layer so as to be electrically connected to the lower conductive layer through the contact-hole.

    Abstract: An amorphous silicon antifuse has a bottom electrode, a dielectric overlying the bottom electrode, amorphous silicon contacting the bottom electrode in a via in the dielectric, and the top electrode over the amorphous silicon. Spacers are provided in the via corners between the amorphous silicon and the top electrode. The spacers smooth the surface above the amorphous silicon, provide good top electrode step coverage, and reduce leakage current. Another amorphous silicon antifuse is provided in which the amorphous silicon layer is planar. The planarity makes the amorphous silicon layer easy to manufacture. A programmable CMOS circuit is provided in which the antifuses are formed over the intermetal dielectric. The antifuses are not affected by the high temperatures associated with the formation of the intermetal dielectric and the first-metal contacts. The intermetal dielectric protects the circuit elements during the antifuse formation. The bottom electrodes of the antifuses are connected to the first-metal contacts. The overall capacitance associated with the antifuses is low, and hence the circuit is fast.
