Latest Patents
One of Kiuchi's latest patents is a method of manufacturing a MOSFET-type semiconductor device. This invention involves covering a semiconductor substrate's surface in a predetermined pattern with an insulating layer that includes a silicon-nitride-containing film. The process allows for the formation of a recess region where the semiconductor substrate is exposed. An epitaxial silicon film and a polycrystalline silicon film are formed simultaneously on the exposed substrate and the insulating film, respectively. This method enables the creation of a whole channel region and parts of source and drain diffused-layer regions in the epitaxial silicon film, while the polycrystalline silicon film accommodates the source and drain diffused-layer regions. Additionally, a gate electrode of the MOSFET-type semiconductor device can be formed at the recess region using a self-align method.
Another notable patent involves three-dimensional packaging of semiconductor device chips, which enhances the efficiency and performance of semiconductor devices.
