    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a swing below a threshold, a photoelectron degradation, and the sensitivity to a charge existing near the side wall of a device or the like, by forming a second divot shallower than a first divot in a region adjacent to an insulating P well. SOLUTION: This is a buried channel PFET device having a first deep divot 13 on the right side and a second shallow divot 12 on the left side. There is a gate conductor 14 of an N + polysilicon gate conductor and a p-type depletion layer 15 on an N well 11 surrounded by a nitride layer 16. A gate oxide layer 18 separates the gate conductor 14 from the depletion region 15. The nitride layer 16 contacts a shallow trench separation region 10. Contrary to an effect to a surface channel NFET, a parasitic conductance at the edge is produced by the shallow divot 12 in the buried channel PFET. If a gate control is out of control, a gradient below a threshold, an off current, and the reliability of a photoelectron are reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and structure for generating more stable threshold voltage. SOLUTION: Related to the integrated circuit element and manufacture of it, a gate stack is formed wherein a pattern comprising a storage node diffusion region adjacent to a storage element and a bit line conduct diffusion region 306 facing the storage node diffusion region is formed. An impurity is implanted in the storage node diffusion region and bit line contact diffusion region 306 and an insulator layer is formed on the gate stack with the pattern. A side wall spacer is formed along a part of the gate stack with a pattern adjoining the bit line contact diffusion region 306, and a halo implant 60 is implanted in the bit line contact diffusion region so that no insulator layer blocks the halo implant from the second diffusion region. Further, the integrated circuit element is annealed so that the halo implant 60 is diffused before the impurity is diffused.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dynamic random access memory formed at a semiconductor body comprising individual paired memory cell separated each other by a vertical electric isolation trench and separated from a support circuit. SOLUTION: An isolation trench 20, comprising a side wall, upper part, and lower part, encloses the region of a semiconductor body 10 comprising a memory cell. Thus, the paired memory cell is electrically separated each other, while separated from a support circuit which is not in the enclosed region but contained in the semiconductor body. The isolation trench lower-part is filled with a conductive material 14, which material comprises a side wall part which is at least partially separated from the trench lower-part side wall by a first electric insulator and a lower part electrically connecting to the semiconductor body. The isolation trench upper-part is filled with a second electric insulator.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an SOI(silicon on Insulator)/bulk hybrid semiconductor substrate. SOLUTION: A semiconductor device has SOI regions 120 and bulk regions 122. In single crystal semiconductor regions, conductive spacers 124 are provided to electrically connect the SOI regions to the ground, thereby overcoming the floating body effect. Insulative spacers 126 are formed on the conductive spacers 124 to electrically separate the SOI regions 120 from the bulk regions 122. In manufacturing process of these regions, a sacrificial polishing layer is deposited to the epitaxially grown single crystal bulk regions, and there is no need to selectively grow.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a complementary metal-oxide film semiconductor integrated circuit which contains a notched gate in a support device region, and to provide a method of forming the integrated circuit. SOLUTION: A gate stack 16 is formed on a substrate, a patterned mask 24 is formed on the gate stack, the stack gate is etched by using the mask, and rather than the entire part but a part of a gate conductor is removed. A gap-filling film 28 is formed on the whole face, and the gap-filling film is removed in such a way that the gap filling film is left between masked gate stacks in an array device region. A spacer is formed on the exposed sidewall of the masked gate stack, and the exposed gate conductor inside the array device region and inside the support device region is removed. An undercut is formed in the lower exposed part of the remaining gate conductor. The remaining gap filling film is removed from the masked protective gate stack inside the array device region.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-fuse structure which can program at a low voltage and current, uses only in an extremely small chip base, and can be formed in a gap between parts which are disposed at intervals of a least lithographic feature size. SOLUTION: An anti-fuse structure is formed on an SOI substrate in combination with a capacitor-like structure which reaches support layer or in the support layer by etching a contact which penetrates an insulator and reaches the support semiconductor layer. This anti-fuse can be programmed by selecting a position forming a conductor or damaging a dielectric of the capacitor-like structure. It is possible to restrict the damages to a desirable position by use of an insulation collar enclosing the conductor or a part of the capacitor-like structure. Thermal influences due to a programming current are isolated into the interior of a bulk silicon layer, whereby a programming during a normal operation of a device is enabled.
