Abstract: A phase shift mask comprises a light transmitting substrate; a light shelding layer comprising an inorganic material formed on the light transmitting substrate; and a phase transition layer formed on the light shielding layer.

Abstract: A gate-drain overlapped device, comprising: a first conductive type substrate; a gate insulating film formed on the substrate; a gate comprising a gate conductive line patterned on the gate insulating film, and a conductive layer coated on the gate conductive line and extending to a predetermined length on the gate insulating film; and a drain/source region comprising a second conductive type low density diffusion region in the substrate below the extending area of the conductive layer and a second conductive type high density diffusion region in contact with the low density diffusion region in the substrate, which is significantly improved in the resistance of a polysilicon gate conductive line and in uniform electrical properties.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor memory element which has an excellent insulation property suitable for high density integration, including the steps of forming self-aligning plate electrodes by etching a dielectric film covering an upperside protective layer by an amount sufficient to expose each of the dielectric films, forming a third insulation film the entire surface thereof, exposing the upperside protection layer by etching the third insulation film with photosensitive films used as masks, forming a bit line contact by etching the upperside protection layer and the underside protection layer until the impurity region through the bit line contact.
