There is provided a semiconductor device including a memory region and a logic region. The memory region includes a transistor (memory transistor) that stores information by accumulating charge in a sidewall insulating film. The width of the sidewall insulating film of the memory transistor included in the memory region is made larger than the width of a sidewall insulating film of a transistor (logic transistor) included in the logic region.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate having first and second areas; an STI isolation region being made of an isolation trench formed in the semiconductor substrate and an insulating film burying the isolation trench and defining a plurality of active regions in the first and second areas; a first structure formed on an area from the active region in the first area to a nearby STI isolation region and having a first height; and a second structure formed on an area from the active region in the second area to a nearby STI isolation region and having a second height, wherein the surface of the said STI isolation region in the first area is lower than the surface of said STI isolation region in the second area.

Semiconductor device with STI and method for manufacturing the semiconductor device

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device including a memory cell array of memory cells arranged in a matrix, each of which includes a selecting transistor and a memory cell transistor; a column decoder controlling the potential of bit lines; a voltage application circuit controlling the potential of the first word lines; a first row decoder controlling the potential of the second word lines; and a second row decoder controlling the potential of the source line. The column decoder is formed of a circuit whose withstand voltage is lower than the voltage application circuit and the second row decoder.

Nonvolatile semiconductor memory device

There is provided a semiconductor device having a COB type DRAM, which comprises a first insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate, first wiring trenches formed in a first insulating film in the first region, second wiring trenches formed in the first insulating film in the second region to have a substantially same depth as the first wiring trenches, first wirings buried in lower portions of the first wiring trenches, a second insulating film buried in upper portions of the first wiring trenches and formed of material different from the first insulating film, and second wirings formed of same conductive material as the first wirings in the second wiring trenches and formed thicker than the first wirings. Accordingly, the pattern precision of the bit lines and the wirings that have a different film thickness can be increased, and through holes that are formed between the bit lines in the self-alignment manner are formed shallow, and also resistances of the bit lines and the wirings are reduced.

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate; a transfer transistor including a gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate through a gate insulation film, and a first diffused layer formed in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the gate electrode; an insulation film which covers an upper surface of the transfer transistor and in which a contact hole reaching the first diffused layer is opened; a capacitor formed on the insulation film and connected to the first diffused layer through the contact hole; a second diffused layer formed in the semiconductor substrate below the contact hole and being the same conduction type as the first diffused layer; and a third diffused layer formed in the semiconductor substrate below the contact hole, formed extending to a region which is deeper than the first and the second diffused layers, and having the same conduction type as the first diffused layer. The semiconductor device of this structure can solve both problems of unstable impurity diffusion from the storage electrode into the semiconductor substrate, which results from an interface state, and mitigation of the electric field mitigation in the storage node, whereby the DRAM can have improved data retention characteristics.
