PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing it, in which variation in a threshold voltage and current driving ability of an n-channel MOS transistor in a CMOS transistor is suppressed, and current drive ability of a p-channel MOS transistor is improved. SOLUTION: In a CMOSLSI, a gate insulation film 5 of an n-channel MOS transistor and a gate insulation film 10 of a p-channel MOS transistor are constituted of a Si oxide nitride film. The gate insulation film 5 has a peak of distribution for nitrogen concentration near an interface between a Si substrate 1 and the gate insulation film 5. In the gate insulation film 10, nitrogen concentration near an interface between the gate insulation film 10 and a gate electrode 11 is made higher than that near an interface between the Si substrate 1, is formed by oxidizing substrate after nitriding the surface of the substrate Si, and the gate insulation film 10. The gate insulation film 5 is formed by heat-treating the Si substrate 1 in an N2 O gas atmosphere.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a semiconductor device having a thin gate insulation film, having no distribution peak of N at the back surface but having a N concn. sufficiently high to avoid diffusion of B. SOLUTION: By heat-treating in an NO atmosphere a thin nitride oxide film 13 having a high N concn. on the surface of a semiconductor, a substrate 11 is formed. By oxidizing, this film 13 is oxidized and grown at the back surface to form a gate insulating film 13a of the grown film 13. This provides a distribution peak of N at the front surface of the gate insulating film 13a. An MOS transistor having this thin insulation film 13a has a threshold voltage stabilized by blocking B from diffusion, and its current drive power is suppressed from deteriorating, because of the distribution peak of N located at the front surface of the gate insulating film 13a.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to form an excellent element isolation region by simultaneously forming wider various element isolation region from the element isolation region of a quarter micron width by forming a plurality of trenches at a wide element isolation region forming part, and altering a semiconductor substrate between the trenches to an insulating film. SOLUTION: Element isolation regions 1, 2 having different widths are simultaneously formed on a semiconductor substrate 11. In this case, one trench 22 of a predetermined width WT is formed on the narrow element isolation region forming part of the substrate 11 and a plurality of trenches 22 of a predetermined width WT are formed at a predetermined interval WS, on the wide elemet isolation forming part. Then, the heat treatment of forming the insulating film by the thermal reaction of any of oxidative gas and oxy-nitriding gas with the substrate 11 is conducted until the substrate 11a between the trenches 22 of the forming part is altered to an insulatilng film 23, and the trenches 22 are embedded with te film 23. For example, the predetermined width WS between the trenches 22 is set to about 0.91 times as large as the width WT of the trenches 22.

PURPOSE: To realize a semiconductor device having ONO type insulating film of high breakdown strength by a method wherein the ONO type gate insulating film is reformed by thermal oxidizing an SiO2 film of the third layer formed by CVD process meeting specific requirements. CONSTITUTION: In the three layer structured insulating film 14, after the formation of the first layer SiO2 film 16 by thermal oxidizing process of a silicon substrate 10, the second layer SiN layer 18 and the third SiO2 layer are successively formed by CVD process to be maintained in oxygen atmosphere meeting the temperature requirement at 800 deg.C-1150 deg.C for 0.5-5 minutes for thermal oxidizing the third layer. Next, a gate electrode 22 mad of polysilicon 22a and WSix film 22b is formed and ion-implanted to form source/drain regions further to form an interlayer insulating film 24 for making a contact hole 26 on the source/ drain region. Accordingly, by forming a wiring layer 28 and an electrode 30 after heat treatment, the breakdown strength characteristics can be enhanced by the reformation not adversely affecting the underlying layer of the ONO structure insulating film.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To implant ions in different areas of a single wafer under different ion implantation conditions without causing metal pollusion or the like by arranging a deflecting means to deflect an ion beam according to its necessity. CONSTITUTION:Newly in a conventional device, a deflecting means 30 is arranged between an accelerating tube 14 and an Y-axis direction scanning means 16, and a beam damping part 32 is also arranged between the deflecting means 30 and the Y-axis direction scanning means 16. When ions are implanted in a silicon substrate 20, since voltage is not impressed upon the deflecting means 30, an ion beam collides with the substrate 20 and is implanted without being influenced by the deflecting means at all. When the ions are not implanted in the substrate 20, voltage is impressed upon the deflecting means 30. Thereby, the ion beam is deflected, and is discharged to the beam damping part 32, and the ion beam does not reach the substrate, and is not implanted. Thereby, ion implantation condition different areas can be formed easily in a single wafer by operating the deflecting means.
