Abstract: Formed on an insulator are an N? type semiconductor layer having a partial isolator formed on its surface and a P? type semiconductor layer having a partial isolator formed on its surface. Source/drain being P+ type semiconductor layers are provided on the semiconductor layer to form a PMOS transistor. Source/drain being N+ type semiconductor layers are provided on the semiconductor layer to form an NMOS transistor. A pn junction formed by the semiconductor layers is provided in a CMOS transistor made up of the transistors. The pn junction is positioned separately from the partial isolators where the crystal defect is thus very small. Therefore, the leakage current is very low at the pn junction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device in which deterioration in a transistor characteristic is prevented by preventing a channel stop implantation layer from being formed in an active region. A resist mask is formed so as to have an opening over a region in which a PMOS transistor is formed. Channel stop implantation is performed with energy by which ions pass through a partial isolation oxide film and a peak of an impurity profile is generated in an SOI layer, thereby forming a channel stop layer in the SOI layer under the partial isolation oxide film, that is, an isolation region. An impurity to be implanted here is an N-type impurity. In the case of using phosphorus, its implantation energy is set to, for example, 60 to 120 keV, and the density of the channel stop layer is set to 1×1017 to 1×1019/cm3. At this time, the impurity of channel stop implantation is not stopped in the SOI layer corresponding to the active region.

Abstract: In the semiconductor device which has partial trench isolation as isolation between elements formed in an SOI substrate, resistance reduction of the source drain of a transistor and reduction of leakage current are aimed at. A MOS transistor is formed in the active region specified by the isolation insulating layer in the SOI layer formed on the buried oxide film layer (BOX layer). An isolation insulating layer is a partial trench isolation which has not reached a BOX layer, and source and drain regions include the first and the second impurity ion which differs in a mass number mutually.

Abstract: An isolation insulating film (5) of partial-trench type is selectively formed in an upper surface of a silicon layer (4). A power supply line (21) is formed above the isolation insulating film (5). Below the power supply line (21), a complete isolation portion (23) reaching an upper surface of an insulating film (3) is formed in the isolation insulating film (5). In other words, a semiconductor device comprises a complete-isolation insulating film which is so formed as to extend from the upper surface of the silicon layer (4) and reach the upper surface of insulating film (3) below the power supply line (21). With this structure, it is possible to obtain the semiconductor device capable of suppressing variation in potential of a body region caused by variation in potential of the power supply line.

Abstract: In formation of a source/drain region of an NMOS transistor, a gate-directional extension region <41a> of an N+ block region <41> in an N+ block resist film <51> prevents a well region <11> located under the gate-directional extension region <41a> from implantation of an N-type impurity. A high resistance forming region, which is the well region <11> having a possibility for implantation of an N-type impurity on a longitudinal extension of a gate electrode <9>, can be formed as a high resistance forming region <A2> narrower than a conventional high resistance forming region <A1>. Thus, a semiconductor device having a partially isolated body fixed SOI structure capable of reducing body resistance and a method of manufacturing the same are obtained.

Abstract: A partial oxide film with well regions formed therebeneath isolates transistor formation regions in an SOI layer from each other. A p-type well region is formed beneath part of the partial oxide film which isolates NMOS transistors from each other, and an n-type well region is formed beneath part of the partial oxide film which isolates PMOS transistors from each other. The p-type well region and the n-type well region are formed in side-by-side relation beneath part of the partial oxide film which provides isolation between the NMOS and PMOS transistors. A body region is in contact with the well region adjacent thereto. An interconnect layer formed on an interlayer insulation film is electrically connected to the body region through a body contact provided in the interlayer insulation film. A semiconductor device having an SOI structure reduces a floating-substrate effect.

Resistive element are formed on the trench isolation films, respectively. Each of the trench isolation films includes a central portion which passes through the SOI layer and reaches a buried oxide film to include a full-trench isolation structure, and opposite side portions each of which passes through only a portion of the SOI layer and is located on the SOI layer to include a partial-trench isolation structure. Thus, each of the trench isolation films includes a hybrid-trench isolation structure.
