  • Patent number: 9577090
    Abstract: To satisfy both suppression of rise in contact resistance and improvement of breakdown voltage near the end part of a trench part. The trench part GT is provided between a source offset region and a drain offset region at least in plan view in a semiconductor layer, and is provided in a source-drain direction from the source offset region toward the drain offset region in plan view. A gate insulating film GI covers the side surface and the bottom surface of the trench part GT. A gate electrode is provided in the trench part at least in plan view, and contacts the gate insulating film GI. A contact GC contacts the gate electrode GE. The contact GC is disposed, shifted in a first direction perpendicular to the source-drain direction relative to the centerline in the trench part GT extending in the source-drain direction in plan view, and is provided in the trench part GT in plan view.

  • Patent number: 6551925
    Abstract: A trench isolation structure is fabricated on a silicon substrate by initially depositing a masking layer of nitride having an aperture. A spacer of oxide is then formed on the inner sidewall of the aperture to define a mask window. A trench is formed in the substrate by etching it through the mask window. The spacer is removed to form stepped shoulder portions on upper edges of the trench. A liner of thermal oxide is provided in the trench, followed by deposition of a liner of nitride on an area including the trench and the stepped shoulder portions. The trench is filled with silicon oxide, and the layer of nitride is etched away with hot phosphoric acid.

  • Publication number: 20020017453
    Abstract: A first Ti film is formed by sputtering with the space between a semiconductor substrate and a target provided at a greater distance such as 350 mm, subsequently, a second Ti film is formed again by sputtering with a shorter distance such as 80 mm, thereon a first TiN film is formed by sputtering with a greater distance such as 350 mm, and, subsequently, a second TiN film is formed again by sputtering with a shorter distance such as 80 mm. Then, these first and second Ti films and first and second TiN films are combined to provide a barrier layer.
