Publication number: 20060086934Abstract: In a semiconductor device having an SOI structure and a method of manufacturing the same, influence by a parasitic transistor can be prevented, and no disadvantage is caused in connection with a manufacturing process. In this semiconductor device, an upper side portion of a semiconductor layer is rounded. Thereby, concentration of an electric field at the upper side portion of the semiconductor layer can be prevented. As a result, lowering of a threshold voltage of a parasitic transistor can be prevented, so that the parasitic transistor does not adversely affect subthreshold characteristics of a regular transistor. Owing to provision of a concavity of a U-shaped section, generation of etching residue can be prevented when etching a gate electrode for patterning the same. Thereby, a disadvantage is not caused in connection with the manufacturing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2005Publication date: April 27, 2006Applicant: RENESAS TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Toshiaki Iwamatsu, Yasuo Yamaguchi, Shigenobu Maeda, Shoichi Miyamoto, Akihiko Furukawa, Yasuo Inoue

Patent number: 6228697Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided in which a semiconductor device including a plurality of FETs having different threshold voltages and gate insulating films with different film thicknesses can be manufactured in a simplified process. Specifically, a first gate insulating film is formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate. On the first gate insulating film, a first protection film is formed. In regions A and B in each of which an FET having a second gate insulating film with a film thickness different from that of the first gate insulating film is to be formed, the first gate insulating film and the first protection film are removed to expose the surface of the semiconductor substrate. At the same time, the first protection film is left in regions other than the regions A and B. Using the first protection film as a mask, an impurity is implanted into the semiconductor substrate in the regions A and B.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1998Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihiko Furukawa, Yoshikazu Yoneda

Patent number: 6110291Abstract: A thin film forming apparatus using laser includes a chamber (1), a target (5) placed therein, a laser light source (10) for emitting laser beam to target (5), and a substrate holder (3). When target (5) is irradiated with laser beam (16), a plume (15) is generated, and materials included in plume (15) are deposited on the surface of a substrate (2) held by substrate holder (3). The laser beam emitted from laser light source (10) has its cross section shaped to a desired shape when passed through a shielding plate (4804), for example, so that the surface of the target (5) is irradiated with the beam having uniform light intensity distribution. Therefore, a plume (15) having uniform density distribution of active particles is generated, and therefore a thin film of high quality can be formed over a wide area with uniform film quality, without damaging the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenyu Haruta, Koichi Ono, Hitoshi Wakata, Mutsumi Tsuda, Yoshio Saito, Keisuke Nanba, Kazuyoshi Kojima, Tetsuya Takami, Akihiro Suzuki, Tomohiro Sasagawa, Kenichi Kuroda, Toshiyuki Oishi, Yukihiko Wada, Akihiko Furukawa, Yasuji Matsui, Akimasa Yuki, Takaaki Kawahara, Hideki Yabe, Taisuke Furukawa, Kouji Kise, Noboru Mikami, Tsuyoshi Horikawa, Tetsuo Makita, Kazuo Kuramoto, Naohiko Fujino, Hiroshi Kuroki, Tetsuo Ogama, Junji Tanimura
