Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable connection to each point of an impurity diffusion layer through a uniform resistance by providing a contact opening part between an impurity diffusion layer and a wiring layer of a relatively high resistance. SOLUTION: A metallic wiring 1 is connected to a tungsten silicide wiring layer by a first contact 104. The tungsten silicide wiring layer is connected to a drain diffusion layer by a second contact 105. The first contact 104 and the second contact 105 are formed alternately and a metallic wiring is connected to a drain diffusion layer 107 through a resistance of a tungsten silicide wiring layer. An excess current is applied to an input/output terminal, and even if an MOSFET switches on by bi-polar operation, it is a tungsten silicide layer of high melting point that is directly connected to the drain diffusion layer 107 and a contact is not fused. Furthermore, since a resistance of a tungsten silicide layer enters the drain diffusion layer 107 from a metallic wiring in series, discharge current flowing during excess voltage application is limited and electrostatic breakdown strength is improved.

For example, the resistance value of the resistor 110 is set in such a manner that the resistance value of the wiring path, which links the earth terminal or the power source terminal 103 and the input/output terminal 102, becomes 15Ω or smaller.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the degradation of the data holding characteristic of a semiconductor storage device, by reducing its leakage current to lengthen its data holding time. SOLUTION: On a surface insulation film 10 of a semiconductor substrate 1 of one conduction type, a polycrystal silicon film 11 is formed, providing an opening portion 13 therein to expose the semiconductor substrate 1 to the external, and by a side wall 12 provided on the inner wall of the opening portion 13 the polycrystal silicon film 11 and the semiconductor substrate 1 are connected. A gate insulation film 4 plus a gate electrode 3 and source.drain regions 11S, 11D of the opposite conduction type to the substrate 1 are formed respectively in the opening portion 13 and the polycrystal silicon film 11 to form a cell transistor comprising the series connection of a polycrystal silicon transistor with a MOS transistor. Thereby, since when holding data in the capacitor comprising a storing electrode 6, a capacitor insulation film 7 and a capacitor electrode 8 the drain region 11D is insulated from the semiconductor substrate 1, the data are prevented from leaking to the semiconductor substrate 1 to improve the data holding characteristic of the capacitor, lengthening its data holding time.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent destruction of a gate insulation film by providing a transistor, whose channel length is short, between the gate and the signal output terminal of an output transistor and thereby preventing a high voltage from generating between the gate and the source or the drain. CONSTITUTION:The channel length is set as mum, transistors(TRs) Q1, Q2 as 1.5, TRs Q3, Q4 as 1.0 which is sufficiently short, a control signal phi1, phi2 is inputted to the gates of TRs Q1, Q2, and an output signal is obtained for a signal output terminal Dout. TRs Q3, Q4 are not operated under a normal state, but an electrostatic discharge voltage in negative polarities is applied to the terminal Dout, the gate potential is dropped to the same potential as the terminal Dout. Therefore, a high voltage is not applied between the gate and the source of TR Q1 or between the gate and the drain of TR Q2; and since TRs Q3, Q4 are sufficiently short in the channel length, the charge is discharged before the gate is destroyed. Thus, the destruction of the gate insulation film is prevented.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of soft errors by a method wherein an opposite conductivity type deep semiconductor layer is provided in a semiconduc tor substrate and kept constant in potential, and charge is stored in a groove capacitor element with a pair of electrodes, one is the deep semiconductor layer and the other is a conductive layer buried in a groove. CONSTITUTION:Grooves 110a1 and 110b, an n-type deep semiconductor layer 108 containing at least the base of the grooves 110a1 and 110b, dielectric film 102a1 and 102b covering the surface of the grooves 110a1 and 110b, and conduc tor layers 103a1 and 103b through the intermediary of these films 102a1 and 102b are so provided in a p-type semiconductor substrate 101 as to extend from the primary surface to the inside. The side face of the groove 110b is inverted to be an n-type and layers 108 and 109 can be made to be conductive by applying a positive voltage onto the layer 103b, whereby the layer 108 can be kept constant in potential by fixing the layer 109 in potential. By these processes, charge can be stored at the film 103a1, which is controlled through a gate 104a1 and extracted outside. The layer 108 is kept constant in potential, so that a stored content hardly varies even if the substrate 101 absorbs alpha-rays.
