Patent number: 7125787Abstract: A gate electrode includes a first polysilicon film remaining on a first oxide film, a part of a second polysilicon layer 8 superimposed on the polysilicon layer, and a part of the second polysilicon layer partially extending over second gate oxide films. Thus, the thickness of the gate electrode on the first gate oxide film is the same as that of the gate electrode of the prior art, but the film thickness t2 of the gate electrode 10 on the second gate oxide films 6A and 6B is thinner than the thickness t1 of the prior art. Therefore, the height gap h2 between the gate electrode 10 and the N+type source layer 11 and the height gap h2 between the gate electrode 10 and the N+type drain layer 12 become smaller compared to those of prior art, leading to the improved flatness of the interlayer oxide film 13.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Sekikawa, Masaaki Momen, Wataru Andoh, Koichi Hirata

Patent number: 6693341Abstract: When an element isolation film is formed by the LOCOS technique, as an underlying buffer layer of an oxidation resisting film, a pad oxidation film and pad poly-Si film are used. When an element is formed, they are used as a gate oxide film and a part of a gate electrode to relax a level difference between the gate electrode and the wiring on the element isolation film. A first poly-Si film (pad poly-Si film) is etched to leave its certain thickness to relax the level difference more greatly. In such a process, in manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit using the LOCOS technique, the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced and the level difference between the gate electrode on the gate insulating film and the wiring on the element isolation film can be relaxed.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Sekikawa, Wataru Andoh, Masaaki Anezaki, Masaaki Momen

Patent number: 6670236Abstract: To shorten the production process of the semiconductor device having the capacitance element. The pad oxide film (2) and the first polycrystalline silicon layer (3) are used as a stress buffering material at the time of formation of the element separation oxide film. These are not removed and used as the capacitance insulation film and a portion of the upper electrode of the capacitance element. Thereby, the removing process of the pad•polycrystalline silicon layer, and the dummy oxidation and its removing process in the conventional example, can be omitted and the process can be shortened. Further, a problem of the impurity enhanced oxidation at the time of formation of the capacitance insulation film can be solved.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Sekikawa, Koichi Hirata, Wataru Andoh, Noriyasu Katagiri
