    Abstract: To improve a semiconductor device having a nonvolatile memory. A first MISFET, a second MISFET, and a memory cell are formed, and a stopper film made of a silicon oxide film is formed thereover. Then, over the stopper film, a stress application film made of a silicon nitride film is formed, and the stress application film over the second MISFET and the memory cell is removed. Thereafter, heat treatment is performed to apply a stress to the first MISFET. Thus, a SMT is not applied to each of elements, but is applied selectively. This can reduce the degree of degradation of the second MISFET due to H (hydrogen) in the silicon nitride film forming the stress application film. This can also reduce the degree of degradation of the characteristics of the memory cell due to the H (hydrogen) in the silicon nitride film forming the stress application film.

    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate includes scribe and product regions, with grooves formed in the scribe region. The grooves are embedded with an insulating film to provide an isolation region, and an active region, including semiconductor elements, is formed in the product region. Dummy patterns are formed in the scribe region, which include a first dummy pattern and second dummy patterns for preventing dishing of the insulating film. The second dummy patterns are surrounded and defined by the isolation region. A target pattern for optical pattern recognition is arranged over the first dummy pattern, and includes a first conductive film. A plane area of the first dummy pattern is larger than a plane area of each of the second dummy patterns, and the first dummy pattern and the second dummy patterns are arranged in order from an edge of the semiconductor substrate toward the product region.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor IC includes forming grooves in a substrate to define a first dummy region and second dummy regions formed at a scribing area, and third dummy regions and a fourth dummy region formed at a product area. A width of the first dummy region is greater than widths of each of the second and third dummy regions and a width of the fourth dummy region is greater than widths of each of the third dummy regions. A conductor pattern is formed over the first dummy region for optical pattern recognition. The first dummy region is formed under the conductor pattern so the grooves are not formed under the conductor pattern. The second dummy regions are spaced from one another by a predetermined spacing at the scribing area, and the third dummy regions are spaced from one another by a predetermined spacing at the product area.
