  • Publication number: 20060275969
    Abstract: Mutual diffusion of impurities in a gate electrode is suppressed near a boundary between an n-channel type MISFET and a p-channel type MISFET, which adopt a polycide's dual-gate structure. Since a gate electrode of an n-channel type MISFET and a gate electrode of a p-channel type MISFET are of mutually different conductivity types, they are separated to prevent the mutual diffusion of the impurities and are electrically connected to each other via a metallic wiring formed in the following steps. In a step before a gate electrode material is patterned to separate the gate electrodes, the mutual diffusion of the impurities before forming the gate electrodes is prevented by performing no heat treatment at a temperature of 700° C. or higher.

  • Patent number: 7084055
    Abstract: It is desirable to prevent breakage and separation of wiring of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, such as a bit-line of a DRAM. To accomplish this, disclosed is a method in which, e.g., a high density plasma silicon oxide film is deposited on wirings (e.g., a bit-line that is connected to the source and drain region of a memory cell selection MISFET of a DRAM memory cell) by means of a high density plasma CVD technique, at a first temperature, and the structure is subjected to RTA (heat treatment) at a second temperature higher than the first temperature (e.g., 750° C.). Via holes are then formed in the high density plasma silicon oxide film, and first and second conductive films are then formed, the first conductive film being formed in the via holes and at a third temperature lower than the first temperature. The first and second conductive layers are then polished to remain selectively within the via holes.

The surface is polished, and then a capacitor, to be connected to the other of the source and drain region of the memory cell selection MISFET, is formed. As a result, even when a tantalum oxide film, that serves as a capacitance insulating film of the capacitor, is subjected to heat treatment, the film stress exerted on the bit-line is reduced, and breakage and separation of the bit-line are prevented.

  • Patent number: 6803271
    Abstract: It is desirable to prevent breakage and separation of wiring of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, such as a bit-line of a DRAM. To accomplish this, an HDP silicone oxide film is deposited on a bit-line that is connected to the source and drain region of a memory cell selection MISFET of a DRAM memory cell by means of a high density plasma CVD technique, and the structure is subjected to RTA (heat treatment) at 750° C. The surface is polished, and then a capacitor to be connected to the other of the source and drain region of the memory cell selection MISFET is formed. As a result, even when a tantalum oxide film, that serves as a capacitance insulating film of the capacitor, is subjected to heat treatment, the film stress exerted on the bit-line is reduced, and breakage and separation of the bit-line are prevented.

  • Publication number: 20030032233
    Abstract: The invention is provided to prevent breakage and separation of wiring of a semiconductor integrated circuit device such as a bit-line of a DRAM. An HDP silicone oxide film is deposited on a bit-line that is connected to the source and drain region of a memory cell selection MISFET of a DRAM memory cell by means of high density plasma CVD technique, and subjected to RTA (heat treatment) at 750° C. The surface is polished, and then a capacitor to be connected to other source and drain region of the memory cell selection MISFET is formed. As the result, even when a tantalum oxide film that is an capacitance insulating film of the capacitor is subjected to heat treatment, the film stress exerted on the bit-line is reduced, and breakage and separation of the bit-line are prevented.

  • Patent number: 6501115
    Abstract: A plurality of first contact holes reaching an n+-type semiconductor area used as the source of a MISFET employed in a logic-DRAM mixture LSI and a plurality of second contact holes reaching another n+-type semiconductor area used as the drain of the MISFET are bored through an insulation layer created over a gate electrode of the MISFET. A conductive film on the same layer as a bit line shunts the n+-type semiconductor area used as the source through the first contact holes. Another conductive film shunts the n+-type semiconductor area used as the drain through the second contact holes.
