  • Patent number: 8399953
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an element isolation insulating film dividing an upper portion of the substrate into a plurality of first active regions, a source layer and a drain layer, a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, a first punch-through stopper layer, and a second punch-through stopper layer. The source layer and the drain layer are formed in spaced to each other in an upper portion of each of the first active regions. The first punch-through stopper layer is formed in a region of the first active region directly below the source layer and the second punch-through stopper layer is formed in a region of the first active region directly below the drain layer. The first punch-through stopper layer and the second punch-through stopper layer each has an effective impurity concentration higher than the semiconductor substrate. The first punch-through stopper layer and the source layer are separated in the channel region.

  • Publication number: 20110220996
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an element isolation insulating film, a source layer, a drain layer, a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, a first punch-through stopper layer, and a second punch-through stopper layer. The semiconductor substrate is a first conductivity type. The element isolation insulating film divides an upper layer portion of the semiconductor substrate into a plurality of first active regions. The source layer and the drain layer are a second conductivity type and are formed in spaced to each other in an upper portion of each of the first active regions. The gate electrode is provided in a region directly above a channel region on the semiconductor substrate located between the source layer and the drain layer. The gate insulating film is provided between the semiconductor substrate and the gate electrode.
