Patent number: 5471084Abstract: This invention relates to a magnetoresistive element used for a magnetic sensor, etc. A ferromagnetic magnetoresistive element thin film is formed so as to be electrically connected to and so as to overlap the upper end portion of an aluminum wiring metal on a substrate. Through using a vacuum heat treatment with a temperature between 350.degree. and 450.degree. C., a Ni--Al-based alloy is formed at the overlapping portion. Therefore, even when a surface protection film of silicon nitride is subsequently formed by plasma CVD on the substrate, the alloy prevents the nitriding of the upper end portion of the aluminum wiring metal. Accordingly, the surface can be protected from moisture by the silicon nitride film without increasing the contact resistance between the magnetoresistive element thin film and the wiring metal. Instead of the Ni--Al-based alloy, other conductive metals such as TiW, TiN, Ti, Zr, or the like may be used.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1993Date of Patent: November 28, 1995Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasutoshi Suzuki, Kenichi Ao, Hirofumi Uenoyama, Hiroki Noguchi, Koji Eguchi, Ichiro Ito, Yoshimi Yoshino

Patent number: 5446301Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of effectively preventing a dielectric breakdown of a gate oxide film without adversely affecting the characteristics of a transistor and a process of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The semiconductor device comprises a SOI film 2 whose upper angular parts are rounded off by sputter etching and a gate oxide film 3 formed on SOI film 2 with an almost uniform thickness. Therefore, electric field concentration in the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 is reduced. Furthermore, the control characteristics of the transistor are enhanced by the uniform gate oxide film 3. As a result, a dielectric breakdown of the gate oxide film is effectively prevented without adversely affecting the characteristics of the transistor. Sputter etching enabling processing at a low temperature is used, so that the upper angular parts of SOI film 2 are rounded off without adversely affecting a semiconductor element formed in the lower layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1994Date of Patent: August 29, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Eguchi, Natsuo Ajika, Kazuyuki Sugahara
