Occurrence of short-channel characteristics and parasitic capacitance of a MOSFET on a SOI substrate is prevented. A sidewall having a stacked structure obtained by sequentially stacking a silicon oxide film and a nitride film is formed on a side wall of a gate electrode on the SOI substrate. Subsequently, after an epitaxial layer is formed beside the gate electrode, and then, the nitride film is removed. Then, an impurity is implanted into an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate with using the gate electrode and the epitaxial layer as a mask, so that a halo region is formed in only a region of the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate which is right below a vicinity of both ends of the gate electrode.

Semiconductor device

On a semiconductor substrate having an SOI region and a bulk silicon region formed on its upper surface, epitaxial layers are formed in source and drain regions of a MOSFET formed in the SOI region, and no epitaxial layer is formed in source and drain regions of a MOSFET formed in the bulk silicon region. By covering the end portions of the epitaxial layers with silicon nitride films, even when diffusion layers are formed by implanting ions from above the epitaxial layers, it is possible to prevent the impurity ions from being implanted down to a lower surface of a silicon layer.

Improving a reliability of a semiconductor device. A resistive element is comprised of a semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate and an epitaxial semiconductor layer formed on the semiconductor layer. The epitaxial semiconductor layer EP has two semiconductor portions formed on the semiconductor layer and spaced apart from each other. The semiconductor layer has a region on where one of the semiconductor portion is formed, a region on where another of the semiconductor portion is formed, and a region on where the epitaxial semiconductor layer is not formed.

Semiconductor device and manufacturing method of the same

A semiconductor device using an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate, capable of preventing malfunction of MISFETs (Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) and thus improving the reliability of the semiconductor device. Moreover, the parasitic resistance of the MISFETs is reduced, and the performance of the semiconductor device is improved. An epitaxial layer formed on an SOI layer above an SOI substrate is formed to have a large width so as to cover the ends of the upper surface of an isolation region adjacent to the SOI layer. By virtue of this, contact plugs of which formation positions are misaligned are prevented from being connected to a semiconductor substrate below the SOI layer. Moreover, by forming the epitaxial layer at a large width, the ends of the SOI layer therebelow are prevented from being silicided. As a result, increase in the parasitic resistance of MISFETs is prevented.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A substrate in which an insulating layer, a semiconductor layer and an insulating film are stacked on a semiconductor substrate and an element isolation region is embedded in a trench is prepared. After the insulating film in a bulk region is removed by dry etching and the semiconductor layer in the bulk region is removed by dry etching, the insulating layer in the bulk region is thinned by dry etching. A first semiconductor region is formed in the semiconductor substrate in a SOI region by ion implantation, and a second semiconductor region is formed in the semiconductor substrate in the bulk region by ion implantation. Then, the insulating film in the SOI region and the insulating layer in the bulk region are removed by wet etching. Thereafter, a first transistor is formed on the semiconductor layer in the SOI region and a second transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate in the bulk region.

Manufacturing method of semiconductor device

A substrate including an insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and an insulating film stacked on a semiconductor substrate and having a trench filled with an element isolation portion is provided. After removal of the insulating film from a bulk region by a first dry etching, the semiconductor layer is removed from the bulk region by a second dry etching. Then, the insulating film in an SOI region and the insulating layer in the bulk region are removed. A gas containing a fluorocarbon gas is used for first dry etching. The etching thickness of the element isolation portion by a first dry etching is at least equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the insulating film just before starting the first dry etching and the semiconductor layer just before starting the first dry etching. After first dry etching and before second dry etching, oxygen plasma treatment is performed.

The reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. A first insulating film and a protective film are formed on a semiconductor substrate. The first insulating film and the protective film of a first region are selectively removed, and an insulating film is formed on the exposed semiconductor substrate. In a state where the first insulating film in a second region, a third region, and a fourth region is covered with the protective film, the semiconductor substrate is heat-treated in an atmosphere containing nitrogen, thereby introducing nitrogen to the interface between the semiconductor substrate and the second insulating film in the first region. In other words, a nitrogen introduction point is formed on the interface between the semiconductor substrate and the second insulating film. In this configuration, the protective film acts as an anti-nitriding film.

A semiconductor device, includes: a semiconductor substrate having a first well region; an insulating layer formed on a first portion of the semiconductor substrate, and contacted with the first well region; a semiconductor layer formed on the insulating layer; an element isolation region reaching to an inside of the first well region, in cross-section view; a first gate electrode layer formed on a first portion of the semiconductor layer via a first gate insulating film; a second gate electrode layer formed on a second portion of the semiconductor layer via a second gate insulating film, and formed on a first portion of the element isolation region; an interlayer insulating film covering the first gate electrode layer, the second gate electrode layer and a second portion of the element isolation region; and a first plug conductor layer formed in the interlayer insulating film.
