  • Patent number: 6943400
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including an IGFET (insulated gate field effect transistor) (30) is disclosed. IGFET (30) may include a source/drain area (15) having an impurity concentration distribution that may be formed shallower at a higher concentration than the impurity concentration distribution in another source/drain area (7). A gate oxide film may include a first gate oxide film (5) adjacent to source/drain area (7) and a second gate oxide film (12) adjacent to source drain area (15). Second gate oxide film (12) may be thinner than first gate oxide film (5). An impurity concentration distribution of a second channel impurity area (11) under second gate oxide film (12) may be at a higher concentration than an impurity concentration distribution of a first channel impurity area (9) under first gate oxide film (5). In this way, an electric field at a PN junction of source/drain area (7) may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 6368934
    Abstract: In fabrication of a semiconductor memory device and especially a DRAM (dynamic random access memory) having an HSG-type stacked-capacitor structure, after a storage-node-forming silicon film has been surface-treated with an HSG preprocess using dilute fluoric acid, the storage-node-forming film on the sidewall surface of a storage-node-forming contact pattern at an accessory or alignment region is prevented from floating in the air and hence being peeled off, which would have lowered the yield. For this purpose, the storage-node-forming silicon film covers the sidewall surface of the contact pattern at the alignment region.
