    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes memory cells each having an MISFET for memory selection formed on one major surface of a semiconductor substrate and a capacitive element comprised of a lower electrode electrically connected at a bottom portion to one of a source and drain of the MISFET for memory selection via a first metal layer and an upper electrode formed on the lower electrode via a capacitive insulating film. The lower electrode has a thickness of 30 nm or greater at the bottom portion thereof. Sputtering with a high ionization ratio and high directivity, such as PCM, is adapted to the formation of the lower electrode to make only the bottom portion of a capacitor thicker.

    Abstract: In a conventional level conversion circuit, the variation of output signals from a low level to a high level is slower than that from a high level to a low level. As a consequence, on the part of a circuit receiving signals from such a level conversion circuit, signals have to be accepted at the later signal timing, resulting in the problems of more complex timing design and of a longer time taken by signal transmission, which impedes raising the system speed. The configuration is such that a level conversion circuit is composed of a level shift circuit for supplying a level-converted signal in the same phase as the input signal and a signal in the reverse phase thereto and a follow-up circuit responsive to the earlier of the output signals of the level shift circuit for generating an output signal, wherein the follow-up circuit consists of an inverter circuit in which two p-channel type MOS transistors and two n-channel type MOS transistors are connected in series between a first voltage terminal and a second voltage terminal, of which one pair is used as input transistors and the remaining pair of transistors are subjected to feedback based on the output signal of the level shift circuit to be quickly responsive to the next variation.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is capable of performing a faster operation by reducing a load applied to a subword selection line or driving a subword driver provided for each memory mat. In a drive method of subword drivers that are actuated in response to subword selection signals supplied through subword selection lines, the subword selection lines are branched according to the number of memory mats. Each subword selection signal has a polarity to a branching position and an inverted polarity from each branching position to each subword driver. The inverted subword selection signal together with a main word signal are calculated to operation in each subword driver and output as a subword drive signal. The plurality of subword drivers share an inverter circuit for inverting the main word signals so as to permit a simplified circuit configuration.

    Abstract: A first object of the present invention is to provide an insulated gate field effect transistor which realizes reductions in the junction depth and the resistance of source and drain junction regions beneath a gate electrode. Another object is to provide a miniaturized complementary type insulated gate field effect transistor capable of achieving a large current and a high operation speed. In a miniaturized MOS transistor, a low concentration impurity integrated layer comprising In or Ga is provided so as to have a peak in the inside of high concentration shallow source and drain diffusion layer regions. By this arrangement, the shallow source and drain diffusion layers are attracted by the impurity integrated layer, to realize shallower junctions having a high concentration and a rectangular distribution. As a result, particularly, a miniaturized PMOS with a larger current punch-through hard and an ultra miniaturized configuration is achieved, and this can be applied also to NMOS, and, therefore, a CMOS with a larger current, punch-through hard and a more miniaturized configuration can be achieved without complicating the fabrication steps, namely, economically.
