Patents by Inventor Shinichi Yamanari

Shinichi Yamanari 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: 7989283
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device is provided for improving the reliability of a semiconductor device including a MISFET with a high dielectric constant gate insulator and a metal gate electrode. A first Hf-containing insulating film containing Hf, La, and O as a principal component is formed as a high dielectric constant gate insulator for an n-channel MISFET. A second Hf-containing insulating film containing Hf, Al, and O as a principal component is formed as a high dielectric constant gate insulator for a p-channel MISFET. Then, a metal film and a silicon film are formed and patterned by dry etching to thereby form first and second gate electrodes. Thereafter, parts of the first and second Hf-containing insulating films not covered with the first and second gate electrodes are removed by wet etching.

  • Publication number: 20080308869
    Abstract: The technology which can control a threshold value appropriately, adopting the material which fitted each gate electrode of the MOS structure from which a threshold value differs without making the manufacturing process complicated, and does not make remarkable diffusion to the channel region from the gate electrode is offered. The PMOS transistor has a gate electrode GP, and an N type well which confronts each other via a gate insulating film with this, and the NMOS transistor has a gate electrode GN, and an P type well which confronts each other via a gate insulating film with this. While gate electrode GN includes a polycrystalline silicon layer, gate electrode GP is provided with the laminated structure of a metal layer/polycrystalline silicon layer.
