  • Patent number: 7351595
    Abstract: In a manufacturing method for a semiconductor device, a main body wafer having an interlayer insulating film is formed, and a monitor wafer on which a monitor element is formed is provided. Characteristics of the main body wafer are copied onto the monitor element by simultaneously processing the main body wafer and the monitor wafer through BPSG densification during formation of the interlayer insulating film. The characteristic of the monitor element is measured by checking a process influence of the monitor element. Manufacturing conditions are set in accordance with the process influence of the monitor element. Variations in electric characteristics of the main body wafer are reduced in accordance with the set manufacturing conditions.

  • Publication number: 20070254426
    Abstract: Conventionally, when an electric potential of a supporting substrate is fixed, there arises a problem in that impact ions are generated even in the vicinity of embedded insulating film in the proximity of a drain due to generation of a parasitic transistor using the supporting substrate as a gate so as to be likely to cause a parasitic bipolar operation.

  • Patent number: 7253048
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit has a CMOS transistor formed on a first conductivity type semiconductor film provided on a first conductivity type supporting substrate through an embedded insulating film. Thermal oxidation is conducted to form a LOCOS for element separation between transistors in the semiconductor film. A gate oxide film of a second conductivity type transistor is formed over the insulating film. A first conductivity type impurity region is formed between the gate oxide film and the embedded insulating film in a region where the second conductivity type transistor is to be formed. A first conductivity type impurity region having a higher density than that of the first conductivity type impurity region is formed in a middle depth portion of the semiconductor film serving as the proximal region to a drain in the first conductivity type impurity region.
