以下に、トランジスタ200の代表的な構造について説明する。なお、以下に示すトランジスタ200の構造は、本発明に係る実施の形態の一態様であり、本発明はこれに限られるものではない。トランジスタ200の構造は、半導体装置に求められる機能に合わせて適宜変更することが可能である。
容量素子100は、絶縁体256、絶縁体280、絶縁体282および絶縁体281に形成された開口の中に配置され、導電体242bの上面に接する導電体110と、導電体110および絶縁体281上の絶縁体130と、絶縁体130上の導電体120と、を有する。ここで、絶縁体256、絶縁体280、絶縁体282および絶縁体281に形成された開口の中に導電体110、絶縁体130、および導電体120の少なくとも一部が配置される。
以下では、半導体装置に用いることができる構成材料について説明する。
トランジスタ200を形成する基板としては、例えば、絶縁体基板、半導体基板、または導電体基板を用いればよい。絶縁体基板としては、例えば、ガラス基板、石英基板、サファイア基板、安定化ジルコニア基板(イットリア安定化ジルコニア基板など)、樹脂基板などがある。また、半導体基板としては、例えば、シリコン、ゲルマニウムを材料とした半導体基板、または炭化シリコン、シリコンゲルマニウム、ヒ化ガリウム、リン化インジウム、酸化亜鉛、酸化ガリウムからなる化合物半導体基板などがある。さらには、前述の半導体基板内部に絶縁体領域を有する半導体基板、例えば、SOI(Silicon On Insulator)基板などがある。導電体基板としては、黒鉛基板、金属基板、合金基板、導電性樹脂基板などがある。または、金属の窒化物を有する基板、金属の酸化物を有する基板などがある。さらには、絶縁体基板に導電体または半導体が設けられた基板、半導体基板に導電体または絶縁体が設けられた基板、導電体基板に半導体または絶縁体が設けられた基板などがある。または、これらの基板に素子が設けられたものを用いてもよい。基板に設けられる素子としては、容量素子、抵抗素子、スイッチ素子、発光素子、記憶素子などがある。
