  • Patent number: 11114527
    Abstract: A terrace insulating film (SL) to be overridden by a gate electrode (G) of an nLDMOS device is configured by LOCOS, and a device isolation portion (SS) is configured by STI. Furthermore, on an outermost periphery of an active region where a plurality of nLDMOS devices are formed, a guard ring having the same potential as that of a drain region (D) is provided. And, via this guard ring, the device isolation portion (SS) is formed in a periphery of the active region, thereby not connecting but isolating the terrace insulating film (SL) and the device isolation portion (SS) from each other.

  • Patent number: 5684315
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device has memory cells provided at intersections between word line conductors and data line conductors. Each of the memory cells includes a cell selecting transistor and an information storage capacitor. The capacitor in each of the memory cells includes a first capacitor component formed over the control electrode of the transistor and a second capacitor component formed over a word line conductor which is adjacent to a word line conductor integral with the control electrode of the transistor. Each of the first and second capacitor components has a common electrode, a storage electrode and a dielectric film sandwiched therebetween, and the storage electrode is at a level higher than the common electrode in each of said first and second capacitor components. The storage electrodes of the first and second capacitor components are electrically connected with each other and with one of the semiconductor regions of the transistor.
