Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device, a manufacturing technique thereof, and a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device, and more particularly to a semiconductor device operable at a low voltage, a manufacturing technique thereof, and a technique effective when applied to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device.
- Patent Document 1 describes a diode in a drain diffusion layer electrode in a planar type logic circuit MOSFET (Metal / Oxide / Semiconductor / Field / Effect / Transistor) used in a large-scale integrated circuit.
- MOSFET Metal / Oxide / Semiconductor / Field / Effect / Transistor
- a technique for forming an element and a resistive element so as to be arranged in parallel is described. Thereby, even if the voltage is low, it is possible to realize a high-performance transistor in which the drain current shows a sharp change with respect to the gate voltage change.
- the power supply voltage of the so-called “logic CMOS” used in the logic circuit for example, a voltage setting of 1.2 V in the 90 nm planar technology generation and 1 V in the further 45 nm generation is performed. This can be seen, for example, in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS) 2005 edition. As shown in this document, it is considered that the voltage needs to be lowered to 1 V or less in order to further reduce the device size.
- the switching of the MOSFET changes the on / off state of the MOSFET by applying a gate voltage to the gate electrode. This is based on the fact that the channel conductivity of the MOSFET changes abruptly at a certain voltage (threshold).
- threshold Swing hereinafter referred to as S value
- the S value is about 100 mV / digit. That is, the channel current can be increased by one digit by applying a gate voltage of about 0.1V. For this reason, the smaller the S value, the steeper switching characteristics are shown.
- the MOSFET since the magnitude of the channel current changes by about 10 digits with respect to the voltage of 1V, sufficiently steep switching characteristics can be obtained, and the MOSFET becomes a basic element for digital circuit operation. Yes.
- k Boltzmann's constant
- T temperature
- q electronic charge.
- the S value is 59.5 mV at room temperature (300 ° K). In a MOSFET, the S value cannot be made lower than this, and therefore, a problem known as a 60 mV wall is a problem among MOSFETs.
- the power supply voltage is lowered in order to reduce the power consumption.
- the lower limit of the S value is a major obstacle.
- the power supply voltage is set to 0.3 V, it is indicated that it becomes a limit to obtain a 5-digit on / off ratio.
- an effect such as a variation in threshold is added to this, so that the on / off ratio is further reduced, and a satisfactory circuit operation cannot be obtained.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having excellent switching characteristics as compared with a MOSFET while maintaining the same level of integration as a conventional MOSFET, that is, having an S value smaller than 60 mV / digit at room temperature. There is to do.

Abstract
Description
<本願発明の回路構成による特徴説明>
従来のMOSFETのドレイン領域(ドレイン拡散層)内にトンネルダイオード素子を形成し、基板電極を用いたトンネルバイポーラトランジスタを形成することにより、上述した目的を達成することができる。トンネルバイポーラトランジスタとは、エミッタ―ベース間にトンネル接合を持ったバイポーラトランジスタのことである。後で製造工程(加工プロセス)をもとに詳しく説明するが、この構造では、集積性の問題は生じることはない。すなわちプレーナ技術においてMOSFETのドレイン領域(ドレイン拡散層)およびソース領域(ソース拡散層)は、ゲート電極に対してイオン打ち込み法を用いることで自己整合的に形成される。そのため、ゲート電極を小さく形成すれば、それに合わせて素子特性を決めるドレイン領域およびソース領域も極めて小さく(近接させて)形成することができる。この結果、素子性能を向上させながら全体を小さくできるので、集積性を高くできる要因になっている。現在、半導体産業において広く用いられているスペーサ技術を用いると、本発明のトンネルダイオードをゲート電極に対して自己整合的に形成することができる。そのため、本発明の構造によれば集積性の問題を生じないことは明らかである。
続いて、本願発明における半導体素子のデバイス構造の観点から、本願発明の特徴について説明する。図4は、本実施の形態1における半導体素子を上部から見た平面図である。図4において、X方向に離間して並ぶようにn型半導体領域NRsとn型半導体領域NRbが形成されている。そして、n型半導体領域NRbの上部にはp型半導体領域PRdが形成されている。このp型半導体領域PRdと電気的に接続するようにプラグPLG1が形成され、n型半導体領域NRsと電気的に接続するようにプラグPLG2が形成されている。さらに、離間されて配置されているn型半導体領域NRsと半導体領域NRbの間をY方向に延在するようにゲート電極Gが形成されている。そして、ゲート電極Gの一端部でゲート電極GはプラグPLG3と電気的に接続されている。
本実施の形態1における半導体装置は上記のように構成されており、以下にその製造方法について図面を参照しながら説明する。
前記実施の形態1では、nチャネル型MOSFETとPNP型トンネルバイポーラトランジスタを組み合わせたnチャネル型半導体素子について説明したが、本願発明の半導体素子では、pチャネル型MOSFETとNPN型トンネルバイポーラトランジスタを組み合わせたpチャネル型半導体素子も形成できる。したがって、本願発明の半導体素子では、nチャネル型半導体素子とpチャネル型半導体素子とを利用して相補型(Complementary)の半導体素子を形成することができる。本実施の形態2では、nチャネル型半導体素子とpチャネル型半導体素子を組み合わせた相補型半導体素子について説明する。特に、本実施の形態2では、相補型半導体素子を利用した回路として、インバータ回路を例に挙げて説明する。
本実施の形態3では、同一の半導体基板上に、本願発明における半導体素子と、単体MOSFETからなる単体トランジスタとを形成する例について説明する。
本実施の形態4では、SOI(Silicon On Insulator)基板上に本願発明の半導体素子を形成する例について説明する。図37は、本実施の形態4における半導体素子を上部から見た平面図である。図37において、X方向に離間して並ぶようにn型半導体領域NRsとn型半導体領域NRbが形成されている。そして、n型半導体領域NRbの上部にはp型半導体領域PRdが形成されている。このp型半導体領域PRdと電気的に接続するようにプラグPLG1が形成されている。また、n型半導体領域NRsの外側領域には、p型半導体領域PRcが形成されており、このp型半導体領域PRcとn型半導体領域NRsの両方と電気的に接続するようにプラグPLG2が形成されている。さらに、離間されて配置されているn型半導体領域NRsと半導体領域NRbの間をY方向に延在するようにゲート電極Gが形成されている。そして、ゲート電極Gの一端部でゲート電極GはプラグPLG3と電気的に接続されている。
本願発明における半導体素子は、MOSFETとトンネルバイポーラトランジスタを組み合わせることにより、60mV/桁以下のS値を実現することができ、この結果、低電圧においても優れたスイッチング特性を有するデバイスである。つまり、本願発明における半導体素子は、低電圧での動作で特に有効であるという第1特徴点を有している。一方、本願発明における半導体素子は上述した第1特徴点とは別の有効な第2特徴点も有している。この第2特徴点について説明する。
本実施の形態6では、本願発明の技術的思想を不揮発性半導体記憶装置に適用する例について説明する。図51は本実施の形態6におけるメモリセルのデバイス構造を示す断面図である。図51に示すように、本実施の形態6におけるメモリセルは、半導体基板1Sに形成された素子分離領域STIで区画されたアクティブ領域に形成されている。具体的に、素子分離領域STIで区画された半導体基板1S内には、例えば、ボロンなどのp型不純物を導入したp型ウェルPWLが形成されており、このp型ウェルPWL内に離間して一対の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1が形成されている。低濃度n型半導体領域EX1は、リンなどのn型不純物を導入した半導体領域であり、一対の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1で挟まれたp型ウェルPWL内の領域がチャネル領域となる。そして、低濃度n型半導体領域EX1の外側にはn型半導体領域NRsとn型半導体領域NRbが形成されている。すなわち、一対の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1のうち左側の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1のさらに左側にn型半導体領域NRsが形成され、一対の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1のうち右側の低濃度n型半導体領域EX1のさらに右側にn型半導体領域NRbが形成されている。このn型半導体領域NRsおよびn型半導体領域NRbは、砒素などのn型不純物が導入された半導体領域である。
