  • Patent number: 11171086
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a base member, a multilayer wiring layer, and a first resistive element. The multilayer wiring layer is formed on the base member. The first resistive element is formed in the multilayer wiring layer. The first resistive element includes a first conductive part, a second conductive part and a third conductive part. The second conductive part is formed over the first conductive part. The third conductive part electrically connects the first conductive part and the second conductive part with each other. A length of the third conductive part in a first direction along a surface of the base member is greater than a length of the third conductive part in a second direction along the surface of the base member and perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8405140
    Abstract: In a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, a floating gate is formed on a semiconductor substrate through a gate insulating film, and has a first portion contacting the gate insulating film and a second portion extending upwardly from a part of a surface of the first portion. A first diffusion layer is formed in the semiconductor substrate to have a plane parallel to a surface of the semiconductor substrate. A second diffusion layer is formed in the semiconductor substrate, to have the plane. A control gate is provided near the floating gate above a channel region in the semiconductor substrate and is formed on a first side of the first portion. A conductive film is connected with the first diffusion layer and is formed on a second side of the first portion and a first side of the second portion through the first insulating film.

  • Publication number: 20020130382
    Abstract: A first isolating trench with a predetermined depth is formed in a region where high voltage semiconductor elements are formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a portion of the walls of the first isolating trench is etched corresponding to a depth of a second isolating trench shallower than the first isolating trench to form a third isolating trench. An oxide film filled into the third isolating trench provides isolation between the high voltage semiconductor elements. Then, the second isolating trench is formed in a region where low voltage semiconductor elements are formed, and an oxide film filled into the second isolating trench is used to provide isolation between the low voltage semiconductor elements.
