  • Publication number: 20040150120
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises a p-channel MISFET and/or an n-channel MISFET, of which an SRAM cell is constituted and which is arranged to have an offset structure, and MISFET for selection of SRAM cells and MISFET constituting a peripheral circuit of SRAM or a logic circuit which is arranged to have a non-offset structure. At least one of MISFET's constituting an SRAM cell is arranged to take a measure against GIDL (gate induced drain leakage) current.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6734114
    Abstract: A two-type gate process is suitable for forming a gate insulation film partially formed of a high dielectric film, for example, a titanium oxide film (gate insulation film of the internal circuit) having a relative dielectric constant larger than that of silicon nitride on a substrate, and a silicon nitride film is deposited on the titanium oxide film. The silicon nitride film will prevent oxidation of the titanium oxide film when the surface of the substrate is subjected to thermal oxidation in the next process step. Next, the silicon nitride film and the titanium oxide film on the I/0 circuit region are removed, while the silicon nitride film and the titanium oxide film on the internal circuit region remain, and the substrate is subjected to thermal oxidation to form a silicon oxide film as a gate insulation film on the surface of the I/O circuit region.

  • Publication number: 20030092285
    Abstract: The invention provides a two-type gate process that is suitable for forming a gate insulation film partially formed of high dielectric film. A high dielectric film, for example, a titanium oxide film (gate insulation film of the internal circuit) having a relative dielectric constant larger than that of silicon nitride film is deposited on a substrate, and a silicon nitride film is deposed on the titanium oxide film. The silicon nitride film will function as an oxidation prevention film for preventing oxidation of the titanium oxide film when the surface of the substrate is subjected to thermal oxidation in the next step.
