Patents by Inventor Katsuyuki Nakanishi

Katsuyuki Nakanishi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7196395
    Abstract: The object is the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device including a circuit employing two or more field-effect transistor that are desired to have equal characteristics, capable of realizing high reliability and superior transistor characteristics. The transistors which are desired to have equal characteristics are placed in the semiconductor device so as to have the same STI trench width (the width of shallow trench isolation adjacent to an active in which the transistor is formed). By such composition, stress growing in the active due to the shallow trench isolation is equalized among the transistors and thereby the characteristics of the transistors can be equalized.
    Type: Grant

The transistors which are desired to have equal characteristics are placed in the semiconductor device so as to have the same STI trench width (the width of shallow trench isolation adjacent to an active area in which the transistor is formed). By such composition, stress growing in the active area due to the shallow trench isolation is equalized among the transistors, and, thereby, the characteristics of the transistors can be equalized.
