A semiconductor device includes: a first wire disposed in a first wiring layer; a second wire disposed in a second wiring layer stacked over the first wiring layer; a gate electrode arranged between the first wire and the second wire in the direction of stacking of the first wiring layer and the second wiring layer, and not coupled with the first wire and the second wire; a gate insulation film disposed over the side surface of the gate electrode; and a semiconductor layer disposed over the side surface of the gate electrode via the gate insulation film, and coupled with the first wire and the second wire.
Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device that includes a SiARC layer formed over a photoresist film which is formed over spacer portions which are formed on a spacer assist layer which is formed over a hard mask layer. The SiARC layer has an etch rate substantially similar to the etch rate of the spacer assist layer. The photoresist layer and the SiARC layer are removed from a first region to expose the spacer portions and the spacer assist layer. The SiARC layer in the second region and the exposed spacer assist layer in the first region are simultaneously etched leaving remaining spacer portions and remaining spacer assist layer portions. A part of the hard mask layer is etched to form hard mask portions in the first region using the remaining spacer portions and the remaining spacer assist layer portions as an etching mask.

The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a multilayer wiring layer disposed over the substrate, a first transistor disposed in the multilayer wiring layer, and a second transistor disposed in a layer different from a layer including the first transistor disposed therein of the multilayer wiring layer, and having different characteristics from those of the first transistor. This can provide a readily manufacturable semiconductor device including two transistors having mutually different characteristics.
Abstract:
An interlayer insulating film is formed. Then a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode are buried in the interlayer insulating film. Then, an anti-diffusion film is formed over the interlayer insulating film, over the first gate electrode, and over the second gate electrode. Then, a first semiconductor layer is formed over the anti-diffusion film which is present over the first gate electrode. Then, an insulating cover film is formed over the upper surface and on the lateral side of the first semiconductor layer and over the anti-diffusion film. Then, a semiconductor film is formed over the insulating cover film. Then, the semiconductor film is removed selectively to leave a portion positioned over the second gate electrode, thereby forming a second semiconductor layer.

Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to lower the on resistance of a semiconductor element without hindering the function of a diffusion prevention film in a semiconductor device having the semiconductor element that uses a wire in a wiring layer as a gate electrode and has a gate insulation film in an identical layer to the diffusion prevention film. A first wire and a gate electrode are embedded into the surface layer of an insulation layer comprising a first wiring layer. A diffusion prevention film is formed between the first wiring layer and a second wiring layer. A gate insulation film is formed by: forming a recess over the upper face of the diffusion prevention film in the region overlapping with the gate electrode and around the region; and thinning the part.
