    摘要: In an MONOS-type memory cell with a split gate structure, short circuit between a selection gate electrode and a memory gate electrode is prevented, and reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. In a MONOS memory having a selection gate electrode and a memory gate electrode that are adjacent to each other and that extend in a first direction, an upper surface of the selection gate electrode in a region except for a shunt portion at an end portion of the selection gate electrode in the first direction is covered with a cap insulating film. The memory gate electrode is terminated on the cap insulating film side with respect to a border between the cap insulating film and an upper surface of the shunt portion exposed from the cap insulating film.

    摘要: 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.

A capacitor element is formed in an element isolation region formed over a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor element includes a lower electrode and an upper electrode formed over the lower electrode through a capacitor insulating film. Basically, the lower electrode and the upper electrode are formed from polysilicon films and a cobalt silicide film formed over the surfaces of the polysilicon films. End portions of the cobalt silicide film formed over the upper electrode are spaced apart a distance from end portions of the upper electrode. Besides, end portions of the cobalt silicide film formed over the lower electrode are spaced apart a distance from boundaries between the upper electrode and the lower electrode.
