Abstract

A low withstand voltage MISFET and a high withstand voltage MISFET are formed on an SOI substrate. An ON operation and an OFF operation of the low withstand voltage MISFET are controlled by a first gate potential to be supplied to a first gate electrode and a back gate potential to be supplied to a first well region. An ON operation and an OFF operation of the high withstand voltage MISFET are controlled by a second gate potential to be supplied to a second gate electrode in a state where a second well region is electrically floating. An absolute value of a second power supply potential to be supplied to a second impurity region is larger than an absolute value of a first power supply potential to be supplied to a first impurity region.

Abstract

A semiconductor substrate exposed from an oxidation-resistant mask layer is thermally oxidized to form a field oxidation film. The mask layer has multiple mask parts with a first width and multiple mask parts with a second width smaller than the first width. In the thermal oxidation process, an oxidation film is formed integrally with the field oxidation film under the mask part, and an oxidation film is formed integrally with the field oxidation film under the mask part. After removing the mask layer, plurality of p-type semiconductor regions is formed by ion-implantation into the semiconductor substrate using the field oxidation film as a mask. The plurality of p-type semiconductor regions includes a first semiconductor region formed under the oxidation film and a second semiconductor region formed under the oxidation film, and the depth of the second semiconductor region is shallower than the depth of the first semiconductor region.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. A field plate electrode is formed on an insulating film inside a trench. Next, by an isotropic etching process to the insulating film, the insulating film is thinned, and an upper portion of the field plate electrode is exposed from the insulating film. Next, an isotropic etching process (chemical dry etching process) is performed to the field plate electrode exposed from the insulating film. In this manner, a corner of the upper portion of the field plate electrode is chamfered or rounded, and therefore, a concentration of electric field at the upper portion of the field plate electrode can be moderated.
