Abstract: After formation of a silicon Fin part on a silicon substrate, a thin film including an impurity atom which becomes a donor or an acceptor is formed so that a thickness of the thin film formed on the surface of an upper flat portion of the silicon Fin part becomes large relative to a thickness of the thin film formed to the surface of side wall portions of the silicon Fin part. A first diagonal ion implantation from a diagonal upper direction to the thin film is performed and subsequently a second diagonal ion implantation is performed from an opposite diagonal upper direction to the thin film. Recoiling of the impurity atom from the inside of the thin film to the inside of the side wall portions and to the inside of the upper flat portion is realized by performing the first and second diagonal ion implantations.

Abstract: A dielectric film is formed on a P type silicon substrate. Then a specified resist pattern is formed on the dielectric film. Using this resist pattern as the mask, a phosphorus ion beam is implanted. Then, removing the resist pattern, heat treatment is given. By this heat treatment, a photo diode is formed in a depth of about 1 .mu.m. A specified resist pattern is formed again on the dielectric film. Using this resist pattern as the mask, boron ions are implanted. Thus, a channel stopper region is formed. Afterwards, removing the resist pattern, the dielectric film is removed. Again, a dielectric film is formed on the silicon substrate. Later, a stacked oxide film is formed in the other regions than the region for forming the photo diode on the dielectric film. Using the stacked oxide film as the mask, a boron ion beam is implanted.

Abstract: By symmetrically forming source and drain regions to the gate electrodes, electrically symmetrical transistor characteristics are obtained. After forming the first source and drain regions by large-tilt-angle ion implantation, without a sidewall in the gate electrode or after forming a sidewall shorter than the distance in the lateral direction of the second source and drain regions from the end of the mask for ion implantation, the diffusion of the second source and drain regions in the lateral direction is restricted to the maximum extent by heat treatment for a short time, and then the end of the gate electrode and the end of the second source and drain regions are matched, or their overlap region is formed. As a result, the manufacturing method of the MOS transistor results in both high performance and high reliability.

Abstract: An improved method for fabrication of a super-high density semiconductor device wherein ion implantation is used to eliminate defects or inhibit the occurrence of growth of defects in the semiconductor device. Ions of high concentration are implanted into a monocrystal semiconductor region in which principal elements such as bipolar element and MOS element are formed, by using a mask pattern covering the semiconductor region and at a largely inclined implantation angle equal to or of more than 20 degrees. This provides for formation of amorphous regions 170A, 170B extending sufficiently into areas beneath the ends of the mask. The amorphous regions are recrystallized by heat treatment, thereby inhibiting the growth of a corner defect known as "voids 21" which has often occurred at edges of amorphous regions 170A, 170B in the conventional method. Thus, a device which is less liable to electrical leaks is provided.

Abstract: An ion implanting method which suppresses defects by changing the shape of the amorphous layer formed by ion injection from that of a conventional device.After forming a mask pattern on a semiconductor wafer, amorphous layers are then formed with sufficient penetration under the mask material by implanting ions at an implant angle greater than or equal to 20 degrees with a dose amount enough for forming amorphous layers. In this large angle ion implanting method, the edge of each amorphous layer becomes dull and, thereby, no voids are formed in a successive heat treatment.
