  • Publication number: 20210320204
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes: a gate electrode on a semiconductor substrate via a gate insulating film; an offset drain layer in the semiconductor substrate on one side of the gate electrode; a drain layer on the offset drain layer; and a source layer in the semiconductor substrate on another side of the gate electrode. The semiconductor device further includes: a protective film covering the semiconductor substrate; a field plate on the protective film, and having a portion above the offset drain layer; and a field plug connected to the field plate and in the protective film and above the offset drain layer, in such a manner as to avoid reaching the offset drain layer.

  • Publication number: 20100052021
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes: a MOS transistor; a bit line provided above a memory region, and electrically connected to an impurity diffusion layer; a capacitor which has a capacitive insulating film including a ferroelectric material or a high-k material, and is provided at a position higher than that of the bit line; a lower hydrogen barrier film which covers a lower side of the capacitor; an upper hydrogen barrier film which covers lateral and upper sides of the capacitor; an interconnect formed above a peripheral circuit region; and a conductive layer which is formed at a position lower than that of the bit line, and extends from the memory region to the peripheral circuit region when viewed from above, for electrically connecting the bit line and the interconnect to each other.
