  • Patent number: 6384455
    Abstract: A MOS IC device and a manufacturing method thereof capable of readily improving the isolation breakdown voltage while achieving a low threshold value and low junction capacitance with sufficient well-region separation breakdown voltage. To this end, a buried oxide film is deposited on a buried oxide film formed in a substrate while an oxide film is formed on the surface of the substrate. An ion decelerator layer of an appropriate material with a specified thickness is selectively disposed only on part of the substrate overlying the well boundary region; then, first ion implantation and second ion implantation steps are carried out. Accordingly, as compared to those regions other than the well boundary region, the resultant well profile in the well boundary region is shifted in position or “offset” towards a shallower part.

  • Patent number: 5886387
    Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor integrated circuit device capable of including both a bipolar transistor and a MOS transistor while maintaining high performances of then both and a method of fabricating the device. On a p-type silicon substrate a plurality of n.sup.+ -type regions are formed below the buried collector region of a bipolar transistor and the n-type well region of a MOS transistor. A plurality of p-type regions are formed below the isolation region of the bipolar transistor and the p-type well region of the MOS transistor. An epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate including these n.sup.+ -type and p-type regions. This epitaxial layer forms element region layers having a bipolar transistor region and a MOS transistor region. The thickness of the layer of the bipolar transistor region is smaller than that of the layer of the MOS transistor region.

  • Patent number: 5874331
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of simplifying the process and permitting SAC and the salicide technique by effecting the salicide process without removing a cap portion is provided. A manufacturing method of this invention includes a step of exposing part of the side surface of a gate electrode by effecting the anisotropic etching process in an over-etching fashion at the time of formation of side walls and converting a electrode material used as the gate electrode into silicide from the side surface of the exposed gate electrode.
