Abstract

The area of a logical gate using a path transistor is greatly reduced, the operating speed is increased, and the power consumption is lowered. A control signal is commonly inputted into the gates of two MIS transistors of a two-input selector circuit. One of the MIS transistors is a PMOS transistor and the other is an NMOS, which are both formed on an SOI substrate. Therefore, the area of the logic gates can be reduced remarkably, because the inverter for generating an inverting signal for the two-input selector circuit is not needed. In addition, the power consumption of the gates can be reduced by the amount of electric power consumed by the inverter and the operating speed of the gates can be increased by taking advantage of the large driving current and low junction capacitance of the MIS transistors having SOI structures.

M I S型半導体装置 技術分野 MIS type semiconductor device
本発明は M I S型半導体装置に係り、 特に絶縁膜上の薄膜半導体層に形成され たトランジスタを用いたパス トランジスタ論理回路あるいはセレクタ回路に関す るものである。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a MIS type semiconductor device, and more particularly to a pass transistor logic circuit or a selector circuit using a transistor formed in a thin film semiconductor layer on an insulating film. Background art
論理回路の高速化、 低消費電力化等の要求から、 いわゆるパス トランジスタを 用いた論理回路あるいはセレクタ回路の研究が行われている。  Due to demands for higher speed and lower power consumption of logic circuits, research on logic circuits or selector circuits using so-called pass transistors has been conducted.
従来、 一般的に用いられていたパス トランジスタ論理回路として第 5図に示す 回路力知られている (K. Yano, et. al. , IEEE Journal of Solid-State Cir Cuits, Vol. 25, No. 2, pP388-395 (1990) ) 。 第 5図の論理回路は、 いわゆるバルク半導 体基板上に形成され、 n形 MO S トランジスタ(NMO S )の Q l、 Q 7 のソー ス Zドレイン領域が互いに接続されて出力増幅回路としての CMO S (相補型 M O S回路) のインバータの入力に接続される。 Q 1のゲートは制御信号入力端子 Cに接続され、 Q 7のゲートには端子 Cからインバ一タを通して反転された信号 が接続される。 Q 1、 Q 7のソース Zドレイン領域の入力端子 X、 Yに入力さ れた信号の一方が、 端子 Cに入力された制御信号により選択されてインバ一タで 反転および出力増幅された後、 O U T端子に出力される。 この回路で C端子に X 端子と同じ入力を入れると 2入力 N A N D として機能する。 このパストランジス タ基本ゲートを組み合わせた論理回路は通常の CM O S の N A N D 回路などを 組み合わせた論理回路よりも少ない面積で、 かつ高速に動作することが知られて いる。 発明の開示 Conventionally, the circuit power shown in Fig. 5 is known as a commonly used pass transistor logic circuit (K. Yano, et.al., IEEE Journal of Solid-State Cir Cuits, Vol. 25, No. 2, p P 388-395 (1990) ). The logic circuit shown in Fig. 5 is formed on a so-called bulk semiconductor substrate, and the Ql and Q7 source Z drain regions of an n-type MOS transistor (NMOS) are connected to each other to form an output amplifier circuit. Connected to the input of the CMOS inverter (complementary MOS circuit). The gate of Q1 is connected to the control signal input terminal C, and the gate of Q7 is connected to the inverted signal from the terminal C through the inverter. After one of the signals input to the input terminals X and Y of the source Z drain region of Q1 and Q7 is selected by the control signal input to the terminal C and inverted and output amplified by the inverter, Output to OUT terminal. When the same input as the X terminal is input to the C terminal in this circuit, it functions as a two-input NAND. It is known that a logic circuit combined with the basic gate of the pass transistor operates in a smaller area and operates at a higher speed than a logic circuit combined with an ordinary CMOS CMOS circuit. Disclosure of the invention
上述した、 従来のパス トランジスタ論理回路は、 回路面積が小さく高速で動作 することを考慮したものではあるが、 セレクタ回路に 2つの NMOS (Q l、 Q 7) を用いているため、 回路面積の削減には限界がある。 すなわち、 セレクタ回 路を NMOS (Q l、 Q 7) で構成しているため、 2つの NM〇S (Q l、 Q 7) のゲートの入力信号 Cの一方は制御信号を反転して入力する必要があり、 そのた めのインバータが必要で、 このインバータ分の面積が増加するものである。 また、 このような構成では、 回路面積だけでなく、 インバ一タを駆動する分の消費電力 も増加する。 The conventional pass transistor logic circuit described above operates at high speed with a small circuit area However, the use of two NMOSs (Ql and Q7) in the selector circuit limits the reduction in circuit area. In other words, since the selector circuit is composed of NMOSs (Ql, Q7), one of the input signals C of the gates of the two NM〇S (Ql, Q7) inputs the inverted control signal. Therefore, an inverter is required for this, and the area for this inverter increases. Further, in such a configuration, not only the circuit area but also the power consumption for driving the inverter increases.
第 4図には、 第 5図に示した従来のパストランジスタ論理回路のレイァゥト図 であり、 本発明に先立ち発明者が検討したものである。 図中 1が第 5図に示す 2 入力セレクタ回路である。 N型半導体領域 2及びゲート電極 4によりセレクタ回 路を構成する Q 1及び Q 7が構成され、 N型半導体領域 2 - 6及びゲート電極 4 により制御信号反転用インバ一タ 13を構成する NMO Sが構成され、 P型半導 体領域 3 - 6及びゲート電極 4によりインバ一タ 13を構成する PMOSが構成 され、 N型半導体領域 2 - 1及 P型半導体領域 3 - 1及びゲート電極 4 - 1によ り出力用ィンバ一タ 12が構成され、 各トランジスタを金属配線 6により接続し ている。 図から明らかなように、 インバータ 13を構成する半導体領域の分素子 の面積が増大している。 また、 ゥエル領域を作成する関係上 PMO Sは図中の上 側に、 NMOS トランジスタは図中の下側に形成する必要があるが、 NMOS ト ランジスタの数が PMOS トランジスタの数より多いため PMOS側に余分な空 き領域が形成され効率的なレイアウトができなくなる。  FIG. 4 is a layout diagram of the conventional pass transistor logic circuit shown in FIG. 5, which was studied by the inventor prior to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a two-input selector circuit shown in FIG. The N-type semiconductor region 2 and the gate electrode 4 constitute the selector circuits Q 1 and Q 7, and the N-type semiconductor region 2-6 and the gate electrode 4 constitute the control signal inverting inverter 13. The PMOS constituting the inverter 13 is constituted by the P-type semiconductor region 3-6 and the gate electrode 4, and the N-type semiconductor region 2-1 and the P-type semiconductor region 3-1 and the gate electrode 4- The output inverter 12 is constituted by 1, and each transistor is connected by the metal wiring 6. As is clear from the figure, the area of the element corresponding to the semiconductor region constituting the inverter 13 has increased. In addition, the PMOS transistor must be formed on the upper side in the figure and the NMOS transistor must be formed on the lower side in the figure because of the formation of the p-well region, but since the number of NMOS transistors is larger than the number of PMOS transistors, the PMOS side As a result, an extra empty area is formed and an efficient layout cannot be achieved.
これに対し、 上述の制御信号反転用のィンバ一タを取り除く技術として特開平 6 - 13886号公報には、 セレクタを構成するトランジスタ (第 5図の Ql、 Q 7に相当) を PMOSと NMOSにより構成するものが開示されている。  On the other hand, as a technique for removing the above-mentioned inverter for inverting the control signal, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 6-13886 discloses that a transistor constituting a selector (corresponding to Ql and Q7 in FIG. 5) is formed by a PMOS and an NMOS. What constitutes is disclosed.
しかしながら、 単に、 いわゆるバルタ基板上に PM〇 Sと NMO Sからなるセ レクタ回路を構成することは以下の問題点があり事実上不可能であることを本発 明者は見いだした。  However, the present inventor has found that it is practically impossible to simply configure a selector circuit composed of PM〇S and NMOS on a so-called Balta substrate because of the following problems.
すなわち、 従来のようにバルク基板を用いたトランジスタの場合には PMOS のゥエル電位は電源に接続されており、 口一レベルの入力信号が第 5図のノード dに該当するセレクタ回路の出力点に出力されるときに該出力点の電位がローレ O 7/0 752 That is, in the case of a transistor using a bulk substrate as in the past, the PMOS gate potential is connected to the power supply, and a single-level input signal is applied to the output point of the selector circuit corresponding to the node d in FIG. When output, the potential at the output point goes low. O 7/0 752
ベルに近づくに連れ基板バイアスが印加されることになる。 このため、 基板バイ ァス効果によりしきい値が上昇し、 該出力点の電位は完全なグランドレベルに成 らずに基板バイアス効果で上昇したしきい値電圧にほぼ等しい電位が残ることに なる。 また、 パストランジスタを用いたセレクタ回路の NM O Sのゥエル電位は グランドに接続されており、 ハイレベルの入力信号が上記出力点に出力されると きに上記出力点の電位がハイレベルに近づくにつれて基板バイアスが印加される ことになり、 上記出力点の電位は電源電圧から基板バイアス効果により上昇した しきい値電圧を差し引いた電位までしか上昇しない。 従って、 この場合には、 ノ 一ド dに相当する出力点め出力信号の振幅は電源電圧から基板バイアス効果によ り上昇した NM O S、 P M O S双方のしきい値を引いた値となり、 特に低電源電 圧下では動作速度は極端に劣化する (後述する第 6図参照) 。 このため、 従来例 のように単純にバルク半導体基板上に形成したトランジスタでは、 セレクタ回路 として NM O S、 P M O Sの双方を用いることは実質的に不可能である。 Substrate bias is applied as the bell approaches. As a result, the threshold value rises due to the substrate bias effect, and the potential at the output point does not reach the complete ground level but remains at a potential substantially equal to the threshold voltage increased due to the substrate bias effect. . In addition, the NMOS transistor of the selector circuit using the pass transistor is connected to the ground, and when a high-level input signal is output to the output point, the potential of the output point approaches a high level. As a result, a substrate bias is applied, and the potential at the output point increases only to a potential obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage increased by the substrate bias effect from the power supply voltage. Therefore, in this case, the amplitude of the output signal at the output point corresponding to the node d is a value obtained by subtracting the threshold values of both NMOS and PMOS, which have risen due to the body bias effect, from the power supply voltage. The operating speed is extremely deteriorated under the power supply voltage (see Fig. 6 described later). For this reason, in a transistor simply formed on a bulk semiconductor substrate as in the conventional example, it is practically impossible to use both NMOS and PMOS as a selector circuit.
また、接合容量の低減等を考慮し、 いわゆる S O I (セミコンダクタ一♦オン · インシュレータ) 基板上にパス トランジスタ回路を構成した例が 1 9 9 2年電子 情報通信学会春期大会 C 5 6 0の第 5 - 1 8 1項に記載されているが、 セレクタ 回路に NM O Sを用いたものであり、 制御信号反転用ィンバ一タに起因する回路 面積の増加及び消費電力の増加については何等考察されていない。  In consideration of the reduction of junction capacitance, etc., an example in which a pass transistor circuit is formed on a so-called SOI (semiconductor-on-insulator) substrate has been proposed in the fifth year of the Spring Meeting of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 1992. -181, as described in Section 1, uses NMOS for the selector circuit, and does not consider any increase in circuit area and power consumption due to the control signal inverting inverter. .
以上説明したように、 回路面積の低減及び高速動作の特性を生かすパストラン ジスタ論理回路であるが、 従来技術のいずれを考慮しても更なる回路面積の低減 及び高速動作の双方を満足する論理回路を実現できないことは、 本発明者の考察 から明らかである。  As described above, a path transistor logic circuit that takes advantage of the characteristics of a reduced circuit area and high-speed operation, but a logic circuit that satisfies both the reduced circuit area and high-speed operation regardless of the conventional technology. It is clear from the consideration of the present inventor that it is not possible to realize the above.
従って、 本発明の目的は、 パストランジスタを用いた論理回路の面積を大幅に 削減するとともに高速化さらには低消費電力化の要求を満たす M I S型半導体装 置を提供することにある。  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a MIS type semiconductor device which satisfies demands for high speed operation and low power consumption while significantly reducing the area of a logic circuit using pass transistors.

上記第 1の M I S FE T及び上記第 2の M I S F E Tは、 絶縁膜 ( 9 ) 上に形成 された半導体基体領域 (16、 1 7) に形成される。 The first MISFET and the second MISFET are formed in a semiconductor base region (16, 17) formed on an insulating film (9).
このように、 パストランジスタ論理回路を P型 M I S F ETと N型 M I S F E Tとにより構成することにより制御信号反転用のィンバ一タを不要とし、 回路面 積の削減及び消費電力の低減を達成することができる。 さらに絶縁膜上の 、わゆ る S O I基板に形成することにより基板効果による動作速度の低下を防ぎ低い電 源電圧においても高速な動作を可能とすることができる。  As described above, by forming the pass transistor logic circuit with the P-type MISFET and the N-type MISFET, an inverter for inverting the control signal is not required, thereby reducing the circuit area and the power consumption. it can. Furthermore, by forming the substrate on a so-called SOI substrate on an insulating film, it is possible to prevent a reduction in operating speed due to the substrate effect and to enable a high-speed operation even at a low power supply voltage.

以下、 本発明を実施するための代表的な形態を実施例として示す。  Hereinafter, typical embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described as examples.
なお以下、 シリコン M O S トランジスタ (M O S F E T) を用いて説明するが 他の半導体材料を用いた M I S型トランジスタ (M I S F E T ) でも動作原理は -同じであり、 同様に本発明が適用できるものである。 また、 回路図中では n形 M In the following, a description will be given using a silicon MOS transistor (MOS FET). However, the operation principle is the same for a MOS transistor (MISFET) using another semiconductor material, and the present invention can be applied similarly. In the circuit diagram, n-type M
O Sトランジスタと p型 MO S トランジスタとをチャネル部分に示す矢印の向き にて区別して示す。 The OS transistor and the p-type MOS transistor are distinguished by the direction of the arrow shown in the channel portion.
本発明の第 1の実施例を第 1図、 第 2図及び第 3図に示す。  A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG.
第 2図は本発明の第 1の実施例である 2入力セレクタを示す回路図である。 第 2図に示される回路は、 パス トランジスタを用いたいわゆる 2入力セレクタの基 本構成であり、 この基本構成により、 あるいはこの基本構成を適宜組み合わせる ことにより、 所望の論理回路が形成できるものである。 FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing a two-input selector according to the first embodiment of the present invention. No. The circuit shown in FIG. 2 is a basic configuration of a so-called two-input selector using pass transistors, and a desired logic circuit can be formed by this basic configuration or by appropriately combining this basic configuration.
第 3図(e)に示すように、 n形 MOS トランジスタ Q 1と p形 MOS トランジス タ Q2 とは、 薄膜 SO I 基板上に形成さている。 第 2図に示すように、 Q 1のソ —ス ' ドレイン端子の一方と Q 2 のソース ' ドレイン端子の一方は共通に接続さ れ、 かかる共通接続点が出力増幅用バッファであるインバ一タ 12入力端子に接 続され、 インバーク 12から出力端子 OUTから出力信号が得られるよう構成さ れる。 Q 1のソース ' ドレイン端子の他方 Xには第 1の入力信号が供給され、 Q2 のソース · ドレイン端子の他方 Yには第 2の入力信号が供給され、 Q 1及び Q 2 のゲート端子 C 1 には共通に制御信号が供給される。 なお、 以下説明の便宜上、 各端子の名称と各端子に供給される信号とを共通の参照符号を用いて説明する。 第 2図の回路は、 N形 MOS トランジスタ(NM〇S )Q 1、 P形 MO Sトラ ンジスタ(PMOS ) Q 2 のソ一ス · ドレイン端子 X、 Yに入力された信号 X、 Y の一方が Q 1、 Q 2 のゲートに直接接続された制御信号 C 1により選択され、 出 力増幅用のインバータを通して反転増幅された信号が OUT端子に出力される。 C 1がハイレベルの時は X端子の信号が、 口一レベルの時は Y端子の信号が選択 され、 出力増幅器のインバ一タ 1 2を通してその反転信号が OUT端子に出てく る。 本実施例では、 Q 1及び Q 2がそれぞれ n形及び p形にて構成されるため、 制御信号 C 1 が共通に各ゲート電極に供給されても、 一方の入力信号のみがイン バータ 12へ供給されることになり、 従来技術のように制御信号を反転させる必 要がなくなる。 ここで、 C 1端子に X端子と同じ入力信号を入れれば、 この回路 は 2入力 NAND回路として動作する論理回路となる。  As shown in FIG. 3 (e), the n-type MOS transistor Q1 and the p-type MOS transistor Q2 are formed on a thin-film SOI substrate. As shown in FIG. 2, one of the source'drain terminal of Q1 and one of the source'drain terminal of Q2 are commonly connected, and the common connection point is an inverter which is an output amplification buffer. It is connected to 12 input terminals, and is configured so that an output signal can be obtained from the output terminal OUT from INVERK 12. The other input X of the source and drain terminals of Q1 is supplied with the first input signal, the other input signal Y of the source and drain terminals of Q2 is supplied with the second input signal, and the gate terminals C of Q1 and Q2 are supplied. 1 is supplied with a common control signal. For convenience of description, the names of the terminals and the signals supplied to the terminals will be described using common reference numerals. The circuit in Fig. 2 shows one of the signals X and Y input to the source and drain terminals X and Y of the N-type MOS transistor (NM〇S) Q1 and the P-type MOS transistor (PMOS) Q2. Is selected by the control signal C1 directly connected to the gates of Q1 and Q2, and the inverted signal is output to the OUT terminal through the output amplification inverter. When C1 is at the high level, the signal at the X terminal is selected, and when it is at the single level, the signal at the Y terminal is selected. The inverted signal is output to the OUT terminal through the inverter 12 of the output amplifier. In the present embodiment, since Q 1 and Q 2 are configured as n-type and p-type, respectively, even if the control signal C 1 is commonly supplied to each gate electrode, only one input signal is supplied to the inverter 12. This eliminates the need to invert the control signal as in the prior art. Here, if the same input signal as that of the X terminal is input to the C1 terminal, this circuit becomes a logic circuit that operates as a two-input NAND circuit.
薄膜 SO 1 基板上に形成した第 1の実施例のレイァゥト図を第 1図に、その製 造方法を第 3図に示す。  FIG. 1 is a layout diagram of the first embodiment formed on a thin-film SO 1 substrate, and FIG. 3 shows a manufacturing method thereof.
まず、 本実施例にかかる半導体装置の形成方法を第 3図(a)〜(e)を用いて説明 する。 なお、 第 3図に示す断面図は第 1図の A - A' である。  First, a method for forming a semiconductor device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (e). The cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 3 is AA ′ in FIG.
第 3図 (a) は、 本発明の半導体装置が形成される SO I構造の基板である。 SO I基板は、 シリコン単結晶にて構成される半導体基板 1 1上に厚さ約 400 nmの絶縁膜である酸化膜 9が形成されており、 その上に MOS トランジスタが 形成される基体となる約 100 nmの薄膜半導体層 10がある。 特に制限されな いが、 かかる S〇 I基板は酸化膜を形成した S i (シリコン) 基板と他の S i 基 板とを張り合わせることにより、 あるいは、 S i 基板に酸素イオンを打ち込み熱 処理を加えることにより形成することができる。 FIG. 3 (a) shows an SOI structure substrate on which the semiconductor device of the present invention is formed. The SOI substrate has a thickness of about 400 on the semiconductor substrate 11 made of silicon single crystal. An oxide film 9 which is an insulating film of nm is formed, and a thin film semiconductor layer 10 of about 100 nm serving as a base on which a MOS transistor is formed is formed thereon. Although not particularly limited, such a Si substrate can be thermally treated by bonding an Si (silicon) substrate having an oxide film formed thereon to another Si substrate, or by implanting oxygen ions into the Si substrate. Can be formed.
次に第 3図 (b) 示すように、 表面の保護酸化膜 15と素子分離領域 20を熱 酸化で形成する。 素子分離領域 20はいわゆる選択酸化法により形成される LO COS 酸化膜 (局所酸化膜) である。 基体となる半導体領域.16及び 1 7は 10 0 nm以下程度の膜厚に形成され、 それぞれ 1 X 1016 c m 3程度の不純物濃 度とされる。 これは回路の動作時に半導体領域 16、 1 7が完全空乏化するよう 制御するためであり、 このように半導体領域を空乏化させフローティング状態と することにより半導体領域に基板電位を印可せずに基板効果の影響をうけない状 態での動作を可能とするためである。 また、 素子分離領域 1は SO I基板を構成 する絶縁膜 9と接触するように形成され、 これにより トランジスタを形成する領 域を個々のトランジスタごとに完全に分離し電気的な絶縁を確保することができ る。 素子分離領域 1及び表面保護酸化膜 1 5を形成した後に、 nチャンネル MO S トランジスタが形成される領域 16及び pチャネル MOSトランジスタが形成 される領域 1 7にしきい値制御用の不純物導入を行う。 表面保護酸化膜 1 5は力 かる不純物導入をイオン打ち込みで行う場合に基体表面を保護するものである。 本実施例においては、 PMOS のチャネル領域 16には、 所望のしきい値とな るようにリンを 30 k eV で 2 X 10の 12乗 平方 c mのイオン打ち込みを 行う。 NMOS のチャネル領域 1 7にはボロンを 50keVで 2 X 10の 12乗 Z平 方 cm のイオン打ち込みを行う。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), a protective oxide film 15 on the surface and an element isolation region 20 are formed by thermal oxidation. The element isolation region 20 is a LO COS oxide film (local oxide film) formed by a so-called selective oxidation method. The semiconductor regions .16 and 17 serving as bases are formed to a thickness of about 100 nm or less, and each have an impurity concentration of about 1 × 10 16 cm 3 . This is for controlling the semiconductor regions 16 and 17 to be completely depleted during the operation of the circuit, and by thus depleting the semiconductor regions to a floating state without applying a substrate potential to the semiconductor regions. This is to enable operation without being affected by the effect. In addition, the element isolation region 1 is formed so as to be in contact with the insulating film 9 constituting the SOI substrate, so that the region for forming the transistor can be completely separated for each transistor to ensure electrical insulation. Can be done. After the element isolation region 1 and the surface protection oxide film 15 are formed, impurities for controlling the threshold are introduced into the region 16 where the n-channel MOS transistor is formed and the region 17 where the p-channel MOS transistor is formed. The surface protective oxide film 15 protects the surface of the base when powerful impurities are introduced by ion implantation. In this embodiment, 2 × 10 12 cm 2 ion implantation of phosphorus at 30 keV is performed on the PMOS channel region 16 so as to obtain a desired threshold value. In the channel region 17 of the NMOS, boron is ion-implanted at 50 keV into 2 × 10 12 squared Z square cm.
その後第 3図 (c) に示すように、 表面保護酸化膜 1 5を除去した後、 約 6 n mのゲート酸化膜 7を熱酸化により形成する。 次、 にタングステンを全面に蒸着 して所望の形状に加工してゲート電極 4、 4 - 1を形成する。 本実施例では NM OS と PMOS のしきい値を 1つのゲート材料で所望の値 (絶対値で 0.2から 0.5 V) になるように高濃度 n形シリコンと高濃度 p 形シリコンの中間の仕事 関数を持つタングステンを用いた。 ゲート材料としては、 不純物を導入した多結晶シリコン膜あるいは、 多結晶シ リコン膜と金属材料との積層膜を用いることもできる力 仕事関数の関係により、Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), after removing the surface protection oxide film 15, a gate oxide film 7 of about 6 nm is formed by thermal oxidation. Next, tungsten is vapor-deposited on the entire surface and processed into a desired shape to form gate electrodes 4 and 4-1. In this embodiment, the work function between the high-concentration n-type silicon and the high-concentration p-type silicon is set so that the threshold values of NM OS and PMOS become the desired value (0.2 to 0.5 V in absolute value) with one gate material. With tungsten. As a gate material, a polycrystalline silicon film into which impurities are introduced, or a laminated film of a polycrystalline silicon film and a metal material can be used.
NMOSのゲ一ト電極として n型不純物を導入した多結晶シリコンを用いる場合 にはそのしきい値電圧が低くなり、 p型不純物を導入した多結晶シリコンを用い る場合にはそのしきい値電圧が高くなる (PMO Sの場合も同様に変動するが、 変動は NMO Sの場合と上下逆になる) 。 従って、 両 MOSのしきい値を合致さ せるためには、 高濃度の n型不純物を導入した多結晶シリコンと高濃度に p型不 純物を導入した多結晶シリコンとの中間の仕事関数を有する W (タングステン) 等をゲート電極に用いることが望ましい。 本実施例の場合には、 両トランジスタ に共通に制御信号が印加されるため、 しき 、値電圧を同じ値に制御することが必 要となる。 なお、 タングステンと同等の仕事関数を有する材料である T i N (窒 化チタン) 、 Mo (モリブデン) を用いることもできるが、 抵抗の小ささ等を考 盧すれば本実施例で用いたタングステンがより好適である。 The threshold voltage is lower when using n-type impurity-doped polycrystalline silicon as the NMOS gate electrode, and when using p-type impurity-doped polycrystalline silicon. (It fluctuates similarly in the case of PMOS, but the fluctuation is upside down as in the case of NMOS). Therefore, in order to match the threshold values of both MOSs, the work function between polycrystalline silicon with a high concentration of n-type impurity introduced and polycrystalline silicon with a high concentration of p-type impurity introduced must be determined. It is desirable to use W (tungsten) or the like for the gate electrode. In the case of this embodiment, since a control signal is applied to both transistors in common, it is necessary to control the value voltage to the same value. It is to be noted that TiN (titanium nitride) and Mo (molybdenum), which are materials having a work function equivalent to that of tungsten, can also be used. However, considering the low resistance, etc., the tungsten used in the present embodiment is used. Is more preferable.

Q 3 and Q 4 have one of their source and drain terminals connected in common, and the other of their source and drain terminals receive input signals L and M, and a control signal C 2 is commonly shared by the gate electrodes. It is configured to receive. Similarly, Q 1 and Q 2 are also configured such that one source / drain terminal is commonly connected and a control signal C 1 is commonly supplied to a gate electrode. Here, the other source / drain terminal of Q1, which is one of the transistors constituting the 2-input selector, is connected to the commonly connected source / drain terminals of Q3 and Q4, and the other of Q2 The source ♦ drain terminal is configured to receive another input signal N.

A control signal C3 is commonly applied to each gate electrode. Transistors Q 1 and Q 2 also have one source and drain connected in common, but the other source 'drain of Q 1 is connected to the common connection point of Q 3 and Q 4 and the other of Q 2 The source ♦ drain terminal is connected to the common connection point of Q5 and Q6.
本実施例では第 2の実施例の Q 2 のソース/ドレイン領域の入力にさらに NM O S 、 Q 5と P MO S 、 Q 6で構成した 2入力セレクタの出力を接続する。 Q 5、 Q 6のソース /ドレイン領域の入力端子 0、 P に入力された信号の一方が、 まず C 3 端子に入力される制御信号により選択され、 ノ一ド f に出力される。 同様に Q 3、 Q 4のソース ドレイン領域の入力端子し、 Mに入力された信号の一方が、 C 2端子に入力される制御信号により選択され、 ノード e に出力される。次に、 C 1端子に入力される制御信号により、ノード e の入力とノード ί の入力の一方 が選択されて出力増幅器のインバ一タ 1 2を通して反転信号が O U T端子へ出力 される。 本実施例においても、 入力信号及び制御信号に適当な信号を供給するこ とにより所望の論理回路を実現することができる。 In this embodiment, the outputs of a two-input selector composed of NMOS, Q5, PMOS, and Q6 are further connected to the inputs of the source / drain regions of Q2 in the second embodiment.

第 9図は、 本実施例の 4入力セレクタ回路を S O I基板上に形成する際のレイ ァゥト図を示すものである。 本実施例のレイァゥト図は第 7図の 3入力セレクタ 回路のレイアウトの左側にさらに 2入力セレクタ部分を追加した形態となってい る。 FIG. 9 shows a layout when the four-input selector circuit of this embodiment is formed on an SOI substrate. FIG. The layout diagram of this embodiment has a form in which a two-input selector is further added to the left side of the layout of the three-input selector circuit in FIG.
半導体領域 2 - 3は n形 MOSQ5を形成する n形半導体領域、 半導体領域 3 - 3は p形 MOSQ 6を形成する p形半導体領域、 4 - 3は Q 5及び Q 6に共通 に制御信号を供給するゲート電極である。 半導体領域 2 3と 3 - 3は金属配線 6 - 3により共通に接続され、 同時に Q 2を形成する半導体領域 3に接続されて いる。  The semiconductor region 2-3 is an n-type semiconductor region forming an n-type MOSQ5, the semiconductor region 3-3 is a p-type semiconductor region forming a p-type MOSQ6, and 4-3 is a control signal common to Q5 and Q6. This is the gate electrode to be supplied. The semiconductor regions 23 and 3-3 are commonly connected by the metal wiring 6-3, and at the same time, are connected to the semiconductor region 3 forming Q2.
このように、 第 2の実施例の左にさらに 2入力セレクタ部分を追加した形にな つており、 C 3の制御信号を反転するインバ一タが不要であるため、 非常に小さ な面積で 4入力セレクタを形成することができる。  As described above, a two-input selector is added to the left of the second embodiment, and an inverter for inverting the control signal of C3 is not required. An input selector can be formed.
なお、 本実施例のレイアウトにおいては、 半導体領域 3、 3 - 2、 3 - 3力 Sほ ぼ直線上に配置され、 半導体領域 3 - 1がこれらより図中の上方に突き出る形態 となっている。 これは、 金属配線 6とゲート電極 4 - 1とのコンタクトスペース を確保するために半導体領域 3 - 1と 2 - 1とを図中の上下方向に離間させると ともに、 金属配線 6 - 3と電源配線 V c cとの間隔を充分にとりレイァゥトマ一 ジンをとるためである。 金属配線 6とゲート電極 4 - 1とのコンタクトスペース の分だけ上下方向に回路面積が増加するが第 7図に示したように第 2層の金属配 線を用いてセル外による配線を行う必要がなくなり、 セル列間配線を第 2層金属 配線で行う場合の妨げにならない利点がある。 また、 このようなレイアウトは、 第 1図及び第 7図及び第 11図のレイアウトにおいても、 同様に採用することが できる。 この場合には、 半導体領域を離間させてコンタク トスペースを取る必要 のない半導体領域以外 (第 1図の領域 2と 3、 第 7図の領域 2と 3、 2 - 2と 3 - 2、 第 1 1図の 2と 3、 2 - 2と 3 - 2、 2 - 3と 3 - 3、 2 - 4と 3 - 4) を本実施例のように近接して配置すればよい。  In the layout of the present embodiment, the semiconductor regions 3, 3-2, 3-3 are arranged on a substantially straight line S, and the semiconductor region 3-1 protrudes upward in FIG. . This is because, in order to secure a contact space between the metal wiring 6 and the gate electrode 4-1, the semiconductor regions 3-1 and 2-1 are vertically separated from each other in the figure, and the metal wiring 6-3 and the power supply are separated. This is to allow a sufficient margin between the wiring Vcc and the margin margin. The circuit area in the vertical direction increases by the amount of the contact space between the metal wiring 6 and the gate electrode 4-1.However, wiring outside the cell must be performed using the metal wiring of the second layer as shown in Fig. 7. This has the advantage that it does not hinder the case where wiring between cell columns is performed by the second-layer metal wiring. Such a layout can be similarly adopted in the layouts of FIGS. 1, 7, and 11. In this case, the semiconductor regions other than those that do not require a contact space by separating the semiconductor regions (regions 2 and 3 in FIG. 1, regions 2 and 3 in FIG. 7, 2-2 and 3-2, and 11 2 and 3, 2-2 and 3-2, 2-3 and 3-3, 2-4 and 3-4) may be arranged close to each other as in this embodiment.
以上説明したように本発明によれば、 第 2あるいは第 3の実施例と同様にして 入力端子にさらに 2入力セレクタを追加していくことにより、 任意の数の入力を 選択する回路を形成することができ、 その形成は本実施例の左側にさらに 2入力 セレクタを追加していけばよく、 極めて単純に、 また、 小さな面積で形成するこ とができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, a circuit for selecting an arbitrary number of inputs is formed by further adding a two-input selector to the input terminal in the same manner as in the second or third embodiment. It can be formed simply by adding another two-input selector on the left side of this embodiment, and it can be formed extremely simply and with a small area. Can be.
次に本発明の基本回路を組合わせた第 4の実施例の平面構造を第 1 1図に、 回 路図を第 1 2図に示す。  Next, FIG. 11 shows a planar structure of a fourth embodiment in which the basic circuit of the present invention is combined, and FIG. 12 is a circuit diagram thereof.
第 1 2図の回路は、 第 8図の 3入力セレクタ回路の入力端子 Mに、 トランジス タ Q 7及び Q 8及ぴィンバータ 1 2により構成される 2入力セレクタ回路を付加 し所望の論理を実現する回路である。 なお、 本実施例の説明においては、 第 1乃 至第 3の実施例と一致する部分については説明を省略し、 異なる部分を中心に説 明する。 また、 第 1 1図においては、 他のセルやチャネル領域の記载を省略して いるが第 1の実施例と同様に構成できるものである。  The circuit shown in Fig. 12 realizes the desired logic by adding a two-input selector circuit composed of transistors Q7 and Q8 and an inverter 12 to the input terminal M of the three-input selector circuit shown in Fig. 8. Circuit. In the description of this embodiment, a description of parts that are the same as those of the first to third embodiments will be omitted, and different parts will be mainly described. In FIG. 11, the illustration of other cells and channel regions is omitted, but the configuration can be the same as in the first embodiment.
このようなセレクタ回路とインバ一タとの組合せを実現するためのには、 第 1 1図に示すように、 第 7図に示すセレクタ回路のレイァゥトに対し横方向にイン バータ回路 (半導体領域 2 - 4及び 3 - 4、 ゲート電極 4 - 4により構成) 及び セレクタ回路 (半導体領域 2 - 3及び 3 - 3、 ゲート電極 4 - 3により構成) を 付加し、 それぞれを金属配線 (6 - 3、 6 - 4 ) により接続することにより実現 することができる。 このように、 本実施例によれば、 上述のように基本となるセ レクタ回路及びインバータ回路を横方向に配列して接続するだけで論理の組合せ ができ、 きわめた単純に、 また、 小さな面積で実現することができる。  In order to realize such a combination of the selector circuit and the inverter, as shown in FIG. 11, the inverter circuit (semiconductor area 2) extends in the horizontal direction with respect to the layout of the selector circuit shown in FIG. -4 and 3-4, the gate electrode 4-4) and the selector circuit (semiconductor regions 2-3 and 3-3, the gate electrode 4-3) are added, and the metal wiring (6-3, It can be realized by connecting according to 6-4). As described above, according to the present embodiment, as described above, a logical combination can be achieved by simply arranging and connecting the basic selector circuit and the inverter circuit in the horizontal direction. Can be realized.
次に、 第 1 3図のレイァゥト図及び第 1 4図の回路図を用いて、 本発明の第 5 の実施例について説明する。 本実施例は第 1図〜第 3図に示した第 1の実施例の 出力増幅用のインバータ 1 2に ラッチ回路を設けた構成となって-いる。 なお、 本 実施例の説明においては、 第 1乃至第 4の実施例と一致する部分については説明 を省略し、 異なる部分を中心に説明する。 また、 第 1 3図においては、 他のセル やチャネル領域の記載を省略しているが第 1の実施例と同様に構成できるもので ある。  Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the layout diagram of FIG. 13 and the circuit diagram of FIG. The present embodiment has a configuration in which a latch circuit is provided in the output amplification inverter 12 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. In the description of the present embodiment, description of portions that are the same as in the first to fourth embodiments will be omitted, and different portions will be mainly described. In FIG. 13, other cells and channel regions are not shown, but can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
第 1 4図の 2入力セレクタ回路は、 出力増幅用のインバータ 1 2の出力にラッ チ用のインバータ 1 4 ( C MO Sトランジスタにより構成) の入力を接続し、 そ の出力をインバ一タ 1 2の入力であるノード cに接続する構成となっている。 ま た、 ラッチ用インバータ 1 4を構成する NMO S ? £丁及び?^! 0 3 F E Tのゲ 一ト幅はインバ一タ 1 2のそれよりも十分に小さくしてノ一ド cの信号によるィ ンバータ 1 2の動きを妨げないように構成されている。 なお、 インバータ 1 4の ゲート長を大きくしても同様の効果が生ずるが、 同時にゲート容量の増大等を招 くため、 ゲート幅を制御することが好適である。 The two-input selector circuit in Fig. 14 connects the input of a latch inverter 14 (consisting of a CMOS transistor) to the output of an inverter 12 for output amplification, and outputs the output to an inverter 1. It is configured to connect to node c which is the input of 2. Also, NMO S? ^! 03 The gate width of the FET is sufficiently smaller than that of the inverter 12 It is configured not to hinder the movement of the inverter 12. It should be noted that a similar effect is obtained even if the gate length of the inverter 14 is increased. However, at the same time, an increase in gate capacitance and the like are caused.
第 1の実施例のように、 ラッチ用のインバータ 1 4がない状態では、 ノード c の値はハイレベルのときでも、 電源電圧から NMO S のしきい値だけ低い電圧と なる可能性がある。 例えば、 入力信号 Xに電源電圧に略等しいハイレベルの信号 が入力され、制御信号 C 1として同様なハイレベルの信号が印可された状態では、 出力される電圧は入力信号 Xから NM O S F E T Q 1のしきい値電圧分だけ低下 した電圧となる。 したがって、 電源電圧が低い場合やこのようなセレクタ回路を 多段に構成した場合などにはィンバ一タ 1 2を駆動する力が弱く動作が遅くなり やすい。  As in the first embodiment, when the latch inverter 14 is not provided, there is a possibility that the voltage of the node c becomes lower than the power supply voltage by the threshold value of NMOS, even when the value of the node c is at the high level. For example, when a high-level signal substantially equal to the power supply voltage is input to the input signal X and a similar high-level signal is applied as the control signal C1, the output voltage is changed from the input signal X to the NM OSFETQ1. The voltage drops by the threshold voltage. Therefore, when the power supply voltage is low, or when such a selector circuit is configured in multiple stages, the driving force of the inverter 12 is weak and the operation tends to be slow.
一方、 本実施例ではラッチ用インバータ 1 4が形成されているため、 出力端子 O U Tの値はローレべノレになりィンバータ 1 4の出力はハイレべノレになり、 イン バータ 1 4を構成する P MO S F E Tにより電源電圧までフルに充電されノード cは電源電圧まで上昇する。 従って、 本実施例のようにインバ一タ 1 4により、 トランジスタのしきい値電圧による電圧ロス分を補うことができ、 したがってィ ンバータ 1 2の動作を高速化することができる。 なお、 P M O S Q 2の入力端子 Yに口ウレベルの信号が入力されゲート電極にもロウレベルの制御信号が入力さ れた場合にも、 同様に、 インバータ 1 4の NMO Sトランジスタによりノード c の電位を接地電位まで下げることができる。 - 次に、 本回路を実現するレイアウトを第 1 3図に示す。  On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the latching inverter 14 is formed, the value of the output terminal OUT becomes low level and the output of the inverter 14 becomes high level, and the PMO constituting the inverter 14 becomes The node c is fully charged to the power supply voltage by the SFET and rises to the power supply voltage. Therefore, the voltage loss due to the threshold voltage of the transistor can be compensated by the inverter 14 as in the present embodiment, and the operation of the inverter 12 can be accelerated. Similarly, when a low-level signal is input to the input terminal Y of the PMOSQ 2 and a low-level control signal is also input to the gate electrode, the potential of the node c is similarly grounded by the NMOS transistor of the inverter 14. It can be lowered to the potential. -Next, Fig. 13 shows the layout that realizes this circuit.
第 1 3図では、 第 1図に示したレイァゥトに対してその図面右側にラッチ用ィ ンバータ 1 4を形成している。 インバ一タ 1 4は、 n形 MO Sを構成する半導体 領域 2 - 5、 p形 M O Sを構成する半導体領域 3 - 5、 両トランジスタに共通に 形成されるゲート電極 4 - 5により構成される。 半導体領域 2 - 5及び半導体領 域 3 - 5は、 両トランジスタのゲート幅を小さくするため、 他の半導体領域 (例 えば 2、 3 ) に比べ図中縦方向の幅が小さく構成されており、 その分電源電圧 V c c及び接地電 G N Dを供給する金属配線が突出する形状とされている。  In FIG. 13, a latch inverter 14 is formed on the right side of the layout shown in FIG. The inverter 14 includes a semiconductor region 2-5 forming an n-type MOS, a semiconductor region 3-5 forming a p-type MOS, and a gate electrode 4-5 commonly formed by both transistors. The semiconductor regions 2-5 and 3-5 are configured to have a smaller width in the vertical direction in the figure than the other semiconductor regions (for example, 2 and 3) in order to reduce the gate width of both transistors. The metal wiring for supplying the power supply voltage Vcc and the ground power GND is accordingly protruded.
インバータ 1 4の入力となるゲ一ト電極 4 - 5は、 インバータ回路 1 2の出力 を供給する金属配線 6 - 1と接続される。 また、 インバータ 1 4の出力となる両 トランジスタのドレイン領域となる半導体領域は傘属配線 6 - 4により共通に接 続されている。 また、 このインバータ 1 4の出力とトランジスタ Q 1及び Q 2の 共通接続点との接続は、 コンタクト 1 8、 1 8 - 5を介して金属配線 1 9により 行われる。 金属配線 1 7は図中の横方向に延在するものであるため、 金属配線 6 - 1等と重複しないよう金属配線 6 - 1等とは異なる配線層である第 2層目の金 属配線により構成している。 The gate electrode 4-5 which is the input of the inverter 14 is the output of the inverter circuit 12 Connected to the metal wiring 6-1. A semiconductor region serving as a drain region of both transistors serving as an output of the inverter 14 is commonly connected by an umbrella wiring 6-4. The connection between the output of the inverter 14 and the common connection point of the transistors Q1 and Q2 is made by the metal wiring 19 via the contacts 18 and 18-5. Since the metal wiring 17 extends in the horizontal direction in the drawing, the second-layer metal wiring which is a wiring layer different from the metal wiring 6-1 etc. so as not to overlap with the metal wiring 6-1 etc. It consists of.
本実施例によれば低電圧でも遅延時間の増大が少なパストランジスタ論理回路 が可能となり、 また、 極めて単純なレイアウトにより小さな面積で形成すること ができる。 なお、 本実施例では 2入力セレクタ回路の例を示したが、 第 2ないし 第 4の実施例からも明らかなように、 図中の左方向にセレクタ回路を付加するこ とにより 3入力以上のセレクタ回路を構成することができる。  According to this embodiment, a pass transistor logic circuit with a small increase in delay time even at a low voltage can be realized, and can be formed in a small area with an extremely simple layout. In this embodiment, an example of a two-input selector circuit is shown. However, as is clear from the second to fourth embodiments, adding a selector circuit to the left in FIG. A selector circuit can be configured.
なお、 出力増幅用インバータ回路 1 2はセレクタ回路の段数ごと (例えば 2段 あるいは 3段) に配置し、 セレクタ回路の直列接続による駆動能力の低下を補う ものであり、 ラッチ用インバ一タ 1 4はこのインバータ回路 1 2に対応して設け ることにより、 セレクタ回路の出力を補償するものである。 従って、 他の実施例 においても、 出力増幅用インバータ回路に本実施例のラツチ用ィンバ一タ回路を 併設すれば本実施例と同様の効果を奏することができる。  Note that the output amplification inverter circuits 12 are arranged for each of the number of selector circuits (for example, two or three) to compensate for the reduction in drive capability due to the serial connection of the selector circuits. Is provided corresponding to the inverter circuit 12 to compensate for the output of the selector circuit. Therefore, in the other embodiments, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained by providing the inverter circuit for latching of the present embodiment in addition to the inverter circuit for output amplification.
以上第 1乃至第 5の実施例により説明したように、 本発明の代表的な実施例に よる M I S型半導体装置は、薄膜 S O I基板上に形成したトランジスタを用いて、 2入力セレクタ回路の 2つのトランジスタのうち一方のトランジスタを P MO S にして、 ゲ一トへ制御信号の入力は他の一方のトランジスタ(NM O S )と共通に することにより構成される。  As described above with reference to the first to fifth embodiments, the MIS type semiconductor device according to the representative embodiment of the present invention uses a transistor formed on a thin-film SOI substrate and uses two transistors of a two-input selector circuit. One of the transistors is set to PMOS, and the control signal input to the gate is made common to the other transistor (NMOS).
また、 本発明の代表的な実施例では、 いわゆる薄膜 S O I上に形成されたトラ ンジスタのチャネル領域 1 6および 1 7の下は絶縁膜 9に覆われているため、 ど この電位にも接続されてない、 いわゆるフローティングの状態にある。 したがつ て、 基板バイアス効果は極めて小さく、 ソース電位にかかわらずしきい値はほぼ 一定の値を示す。 第 2図の回路のように 2入力セレクタの一方のトランジスタに P MO Sを用いても、 P MO Sに入力された口一レベルの信号入力がノード Cに 出力されるときには基板バイァス無印加時のしきレ、値分の電位が残るだけである。 さらに、 S O I構造のトランジスタでは急旬なサブスレツショルド特性を生か してリーク電流の増加を伴わずに低しきい値化ができるので、 ノード cに残る電 圧はバルク基板を用いた場合よりも小さくなる。 以上の理由から、 S O I上に形 成された 2入力セレクタ回路の一方のトランジスタに P MO Sを用いることによ り、 反転信号生成用のインバータを不要として面積を低減することができる。 ま た、 ィンバータが不要となる分の低消費電力化が可能になる。 In a typical embodiment of the present invention, the underside of the channel regions 16 and 17 of the transistor formed on the so-called thin film SOI is covered with the insulating film 9 and thus connected to any potential. Not in a so-called floating state. Therefore, the body bias effect is extremely small, and the threshold value is almost constant regardless of the source potential. Even if PMOS is used for one transistor of the two-input selector as in the circuit in Fig. 2, the single-level signal input to PMOS is applied to node C. When the output is made, only the threshold when the substrate bias is not applied and the potential corresponding to the value remain. Furthermore, the SOI transistor can lower the threshold voltage without increasing the leakage current by taking advantage of the rapid subthreshold characteristics, so that the voltage remaining at the node c is lower than when a bulk substrate is used. Become smaller. For the above reason, by using PMOS for one transistor of the two-input selector circuit formed on the SOI, the area can be reduced by eliminating the need for an inverter for generating an inverted signal. In addition, power consumption can be reduced as an inverter is not required.
さらに S O I構造トランジスタの高駆動電流、 低接合容量の特長を生かして高 速化を行うことができ、 ゥュル領域が不要なことから素子分離領域の幅を削減し さらなる面積の削減を行うことができる。 産業上の利用可能性  Furthermore, high speed can be achieved by taking advantage of the high drive current and low junction capacitance of the SOI structure transistor.Since no module region is required, the width of the element isolation region can be reduced and the area can be further reduced. . Industrial applicability
以上に説明したように、 本発明によれば 2入力セレクタ回路のゲートに入力さ れる反転信号生成用のィンバ一タを不要として面積を低減することができる。 ま た、 インバータが不要となる分の低消費電力化が可能になり、 さらに S O I構造 トランジスタの高駆動電流、 低接合容量の特長を生かして高速化を行うことがで さる。  As described above, according to the present invention, an inverter for generating an inverted signal input to the gate of the two-input selector circuit is not required, and the area can be reduced. In addition, power consumption can be reduced by eliminating the need for an inverter, and higher speeds can be achieved by taking advantage of the high drive current and low junction capacitance of SOI transistors.
従って、 本発明は半導体集積回路により形成する論理回路に広く利用できるも のである。  Therefore, the present invention can be widely used for logic circuits formed by semiconductor integrated circuits.
