`by
`On the other hand, the field of application of the
`semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising
`CMIS FET’s is wide in these days and, actually, the
`operating voltage therefor varies widely depending on
`the specification of a particular product.It is, therefor,
`required to manufacture CMIS FET’s applicable to a
`variety of products of various specifications in a com-
`mon process and provide CMIS FET’s whicharesatis-
`factorily operable with a wide range of operating volt-
`ages. To this end, a method for manufacturing CMIS
`FET’s which can control the threshold voltage V,, of
`the active region of the CMIS FET’s and the threshold
`voltage Vy, of the parastic MOS FETto predetermined
`voltages is required.
`SUMMARYOF THE INVENTION
`
`where Q,is a charge in a bulk, Q,, is surface state and
`oxide charge, and C,is the capacitance of the gate. A
`simple way to control the threshold voltage V,, defined
`by the equation (1) is to control Q,. That is, Q, is related
`to the impurity concentration of the substrate and it
`increases as the impurity concentration of the substrate
`increases. Accordingly, V,,can be increased by increas-
`ing the impurity concentration of the substrate.
`Thus, whenit is desired to raise the operation volt-
`age, a voltage applied to a wiring layer extending over
`the field oxidation region also rises, resulting in a paras-
`tic channel immediately beneath the field oxide layer
`region. That is, a parastic MOS FETis formed.In order
`to avoid the formation of such a parastic MOS FET,it
`is necessary to increase the impurity concentration of
`the substrate or the impurity concentration of the well
`layer as seen from the above equation to raise the
`threshold voltage V,, of the parastic MOS FET. How-
`ever, since the impurity concentrations of the substrate
`and the well layer are determined by electrical charac-
`teristics of the CMIS FET’ssuchas the threshold volt-
`age V,, and mutual conductance gm,the range of the
`operating voltage for the CMIS FET’sis limited and
`the magnitudethereofis very small. For example, when
`the threshold voltage V,, of an N-channel MOS FET
`formed in a P-type well layer is 0.45 volts, a parastic
`channel is formed at about 4 volts because an N-type
`inversion layer is readily formed because of many so-
`dium (+) ions present in the field oxide layer. As a
`result, the operating voltage should be up to about 3
`volts.
`As a commonly used method for manufacturing the
`CMIS FET’sof the LOCOSstructure which avoids the
`formation of the parastic channel in the P-type well
`layer and which can be practiced in a simple way, a
`technique disclosed in the Philips Technical Review,
`Vol. 34, No. 1, 1974, pp. 19-23, is known. According to

`method for manufacturing CMIS FET’s of LOCOS
`structure which allowsthe establishmentof the thresh-
`old voltage V,, of the parastic MOS FETin thefield

`
`
`
`
`
`
`The present method for manufacturing the CMIS
`FET’s of the LOCOSstructure described hereinabove
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`has the following features.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(1) Since the field diffusion layers 7a and 9a having
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`impurity concentrations higher than that of the sub-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`strate 1 or the P-type well layer 2 and selected indepen-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`dently of those impurity concentrations are formed
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`under the thick SiO, layer 10 which act as the field
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`oxide layer, the threshold voltage V,, of the parastic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`MOStransistor in the region of the field oxide layer 10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`can be controlled to any value by adjusting the amount
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of ion implantation, and it can be set independently of 30
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the threshold voltages V,, of the substrate 1 and the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`P-type well layer 2. Therefore, according to the present
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`invention, it is possible to manufacture CMIS FET’s
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and semiconductorintegrated circuit devices compris-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ing a number of CMIS FET’s having different operat-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ing voltages in the same manufacturing process.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(2) In the formation of the field diffusion layers 7a
`and 9a, the Si;N, layer 4 which serves as the mask in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`forming the thick field silicon oxide layer 10 by the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`thermal oxidation is used in situ. Therefore, the field
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`diffusion layers 7a and 9a areself-aligned with the field
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`silicon oxide layer 10 and the sources and drains of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`devices resulting in a high integration density. Thus, the
`semiconductor device of the present invention can be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`manufactured in a very simple way.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(3) Because of the CMIS semiconductor device of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`LOCOSstructure, fine processing is possible. Further-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`more the performance of the device is high in that it
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`provides a high operation speed and a low power con-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`sumption. Therefore, the CMIS FET’s of the present
`
`
`
`
`
`invention can be applied to various products.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(4) Since the P-type well layer is formed before the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`formation ofthe field oxide layer, it is possible to form
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the field oxide layer in the well layer. Thus, whenit is
`desired to form a plurality of MOS FET’sin the well
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`layer, the design of the layouts of the MOS FET’s and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the wiring layers therefor is facilitated. Furthermore,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the source and drain regions can be readily formed
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`using the field oxide layers in the well layer as the mask.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In ion implanting the impurity in the above embodi-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ment, the thin SiO, layer 3 under the Si;N, layer 4 is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`removed to expose the surfaces of the N-type substrate
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 and the P-type well layer 2. However, the thin SiO,
`layer 3 may beleft unremoved. Inthis case, less defects
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`on the surfaces of the N-type substrate 1 and the P-type
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`well layer 2 due to the ion damage take place and the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`affect by the contamination is minimized because the
`surfaces are not exposed. Furthermore, by the presence

`
`
`of the thin SiO, layer 3, bird-beaks do not grow. Thatis,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`when the thin SiO, layer 3 is etched away, the parts of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the SiO, layer 3 underthe Si,N, layers 4a and 4b, which
`are called overhung, are also etched away. Asa result,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`lateral oxidation proceeds more rapidly resulting in the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`growthof the bird-beaks. On the other hand, when the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`thin SiO, layer 3 is left unremoved, the bird-beaks are
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`grownless slowly so that the area occupied by thefield
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`oxide layers is minimized resulting in the increase in the
`
`
`integration density.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In the above embodiment, the parastic channel stop-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`per layers (field diffusionlayers) are formed under the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`field oxide layers formed in the P-type well layer and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the substrate. In this case, the operating voltage of up to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`about 50 volts is permitted. On the other hand,if the
`
`
`
`
`
`semiconductor integrated circuit device manufactured
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`by the present method is to be used at the operating
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`voltageof less than 10 volts, the phosphorusion implan-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tation shown in FIG. 3 may be omitted, because if the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`V,, of the P-channel MOS FETis 0.45 volts the V,, of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the N-type parastic channel is as high as 12 volts or
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`higher and it is not readily inverted at the operating
`
`
`
`voltage of below 10 volts.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`It should be understood that the present inventionis
`not limited to the embodiment described above butit
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`can be applied to the CMIS FET’s of the LOCOSstruc-
