  • Publication number: 20160218103
    Abstract: It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method in which, in a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a plurality of transistors having wide-rangingly different Ioff levels are embedded together in a semiconductor device including transistors each using a non-doped channel. By controlling an effective channel length, a leakage current is controlled without changing an impurity concentration distribution in a transistor including a non-doped channel layer and a screen layer provided immediately under the non-doped channel layer.

  • Patent number: 8778786
    Abstract: Silicon loss prevention in a substrate during transistor device element manufacture is achieved by limiting a number of photoresist mask and chemical oxide layer stripping opportunities during the fabrication process. This can be achieved through the use of a protective layer that remains on the substrate during formation and stripping of photoresist masks used in identifying the implant areas into the substrate. In addition, undesirable reworking steps due to photoresist mask misalignment are eliminated or otherwise have no effect on consuming silicon from the substrate during fabrication of device elements. In this manner, device elements with the same operating characteristics and performance can be consistently made from lot to lot.
