In recent years, mixed-mounting of various types of circuits is required in consideration of various factors, such as, for example, to shorten the chip interface delay, to reduce the cost per board area, and to reduce the cost in design and development of boards. There are problems in the mix-mounting technology in that the process becomes complex and the IC cost increases.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device having a DRAM and another element that are mounted on the same chip, which can simplify the manufacturing steps and provide the other element with a designated performance, and a method for manufacturing the same.
[Means to Solve Problems]
{1} The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device having a DRAM including a cell capacitor formed in a DRAM region of a semiconductor substrate, and a capacitor element formed in an analog element region of the semiconductor substrate, the method comprising the steps of: (a) simultaneously forming a well and an impurity region that is used to electrically connect a lower electrode of the capacitor element and another semiconductor element, wherein the well is located in the semiconductor substrate in the DRAM region, and the impurity region is located in the semiconductor substrate in the analog element region; (b) simultaneously forming a storage node of the cell capacitor and the lower electrode; (c) simultaneously forming a dielectric layer of the cell capacitor and a dielectric layer of the capacitor element; and (d) simultaneously forming a cell plate of the cell capacitor and an upper electrode of the capacitor element.
By the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described steps in accordance with the present invention, the cell capacitor and the capacitor element are simultaneously formed. As a result, the manufacturing steps are simplified, compared to the case where they are independently formed.
Also, by the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described steps in accordance with the present invention, the impurity region that is used to electrically connect a lower electrode of the capacitor element and another semiconductor element is formed simultaneously with the well that is located in the semiconductor substrate in the DRAM region. As a result, the manufacturing steps are simplified, compared to the case where they are independently formed.
It is noted that, in the present invention, a cell capacitor refers to an element that composes a memory cell of a DRAM. The same definition applies to cell capacitors described below.
Also, in the present invention, a capacitor element may be used for, for example, an A/D converter, a D/A converter, a switched capacitor filter, a phase capacitor of an operational amplifier, a low-pass filter of a PLL, a bypass capacitor of a power source, a decoupling capacitor, and the like. Capacitor elements described below may be used in the same manner.
It is also noted that, in the present invention, another semiconductor element refers to an element (for example, a transistor, a capacitor element, a resistance element, and a wiring) that composes an analog circuit. The same definition applies to other semiconductor elements described below.
The following step may be added to the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, the present invention further comprises the step of: (e) forming a first resistance element and a second resistance element in the analog element region,
wherein the step (e) is an identical step with the step (d), and wherein, in the step (e), the number of ion-implantation of impurity in a region where the first resistance element is to be formed is greater than the number of ion-implantation of impurity in a region where the second resistance element is to be formed to lower a resistance value of the first resistance element than a resistance value of the second resistance element.
By the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described step in accordance with the present invention, the first and second resistance elements can be formed with resistance values different from each other.
The following step may be added to the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, the present invention further comprises the step of: (e) forming a first resistance element and a second resistance element in the analog element region, wherein the step (e) is an identical step with the step (d), and wherein, in the step (e), an impurity is diffused in a region where the first resistance element is to be formed to lower a resistance value of the first resistance element than a resistance value of the second resistance element.
By the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described step in accordance with the present invention, the first and second resistance elements can be formed with resistance values different from each other.
Furthermore, by the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described step in accordance with the present invention, the minimum resistance value of the first resistance element can be lowered. In other words, the number of ion-implantation of impurity in the first resistance element may be made greater than the number of ion-implantation of impurity in the second resistance element, such that a resistance value of the first resistance element is lower than a resistance value of the second resistance element, as described above. However, the minimum resistance value achieved only by ion-implantation is relatively high (for example, 200 ̃300 Ω/□). In contrast, by the impurity diffusion, the minimum resistance value can be made lower than that attained only by ion-implantation (for example, 10 ̃100 Ω/□). Accordingly, by the impurity diffusion, the minimum resistance value of the first resistance element can be lowered, and therefore, a range of resistance values that can be selected can be made wider.
The following step may be added to the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, the present invention further comprises the step of: (e) forming a first resistance element and a second resistance element in the analog element region, wherein the step (e) is an identical step with the step (d), and wherein, in the step (e), a silicide layer is formed in a region where the first resistance element is to be formed to lower a resistance value of the first resistance element than a resistance value of the second resistance element.
By the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described step in accordance with the present invention, the first and second resistance elements can be formed with resistance values different from each other.
Furthermore, by the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described step in accordance with the present invention, the minimum resistance value of the first resistance element can be further lowered. In other words, by forming a silicide layer at the first resistance element, the minimum resistance value can be lowered than that achieved by only the ion-implantation (for example, 5 ̃10 Ω/□). Accordingly, since the formation of the silicide layer can further lower the minimum resistance value of the first resistance element, a range of resistance values that can be selected can be made wider.
{2} In accordance with the present invention, a semiconductor device has a DRAM including a cell capacitor formed in a DRAM region of a semiconductor substrate, and a capacitor element formed in an analog element region of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor device comprises: an interlayer dielectric layer, impurity region and an embedded connection layer, wherein the interlayer dielectric layer is located between the semiconductor substrate and the capacitor element, the embedded connection layer and the impurity region are used to electrically connect a lower electrode of the capacitor element to another semiconductor element, the impurity region is located in the semiconductor substrate, the embedded connection layer is located in a connection hole formed in the interlayer dielectric layer, one end of the embedded connection layer connects to the lower electrode at a bottom surface of the lower electrode, and another end of the embedded connection layer connects to the impurity region.
By the semiconductor device with the above-described structure in accordance with the present invention, the area of the capacitor element can be made smaller. More specifically, the lower electrode of the capacitor element is electrically connected to the other semiconductor element by the embedded connection layer and the impurity region. In accordance with the present invention, the embedded connection layer connected to the lower electrode is located below the lower electrode, and is connected to the lower electrode at the bottom surface of the lower electrode. As a result, the entire side surface of the lower electrode can be faced with an upper electrode, and therefore the area of the capacitor element can be reduced, accordingly.
In this manner, in accordance with the present invention, since the area of the capacitor element can be made smaller, the semiconductor device can be further miniaturized.
It is noted that the embedded connection layer is composed of a conductive material (for example, polysilicon, amorphous silicon, and high-melting point metal such as tungsten). The material for the embedded connection layer may be the same as the material of the lower electrode, or may be different from the material of the lower electrode.
The following structure may be added to the semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, in accordance with the present invention, the semiconductor device further comprises another capacitor element, wherein the other capacitor element is located in the analog element region, and the capacitor element and the other capacitor element are serially connected to each other by the embedded connection layer and the impurity region.
In accordance with the present invention with the above-described structure, the capacitor element and the other capacitor element are electrically connected to each other by the embedded connection layer and the impurity region. As a result, the capacitor element and the other capacitor element function as one composite capacitor element. Furthermore, since the connection by the embedded connection layer and the impurity region is achieved by a serial connection, the sum of a dielectric strength of the capacitor element and a dielectric strength of the other capacitor element is a dielectric strength of the one composite capacitor element. Therefore, the dielectric strength is improved as compared to the case in which only the capacitor element is provided.
The following structure may be added to the semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, in accordance with the present invention, the semiconductor device further comprises a first resistance element and a second resistance element, wherein the first resistance element and the second resistance element are located in the analog element region, and an impurity concentration of the first resistance element is higher than an impurity concentration of the second resistance element so that a resistance value of the first resistance element is lower than a resistance value of the second resistance element.
The following structure may be added to the semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, in accordance with the present invention, the semiconductor device further comprises a first resistance element and a second resistance element, wherein the first resistance element and the second resistance element are located in the analog element region, and the first resistance element includes a silicide layer so that a resistance value of the first resistance element is lower than a resistance value of the second resistance element.
The following structure may be added to the semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention. Namely, in accordance with the present invention, a thickness of a dielectric layer of the capacitor element is the same as a thickness of a dielectric layer of the cell capacitor.
By the semiconductor device having the structure described above in accordance with the present invention, the area of the capacitor element can be made smaller. More specifically, the charge capacity of a cell capacitor of a DRAM needs to be greater than a specified value so that the DRAM does not malfunction. For this reason, the thickness of a dielectric layer of the cell capacitor is very thin (for example, 5 ̃10 nm). In accordance with the present invention, the thickness of a dielectric layer of the capacitor element is the same as the thickness of a dielectric layer of the cell capacitor. As a result, even when the area of the capacitor element is small, the charge capacity that is required as a capacitor element can be securely maintained.
Accordingly, by the semiconductor device having the structure described above in accordance with the present invention, since the area of the capacitor element can be made smaller, the semiconductor device can be further miniaturized.

The detailed description of the structure of the analog element region 2000 is now completed. In accordance with the semiconductor device 1, the following effects ((Effect 1) through (Effect 4)) are created.
(Effect 1)
By the semiconductor device 1, an area of each of the capacitor elements 600a and 600b can be made smaller. More specifically, the charge capacity of each of the cell capacitors 700a and 700b of the DRAM needs to be greater than a specified value so that the DRAM does not malfunction. For this purpose, the thickness of a dielectric layer (ON layer 61) of each of the cell capacitors 700a and 700b is very thin (for example, 5-10 nm). In accordance with the present invention, the thickness of the dielectric layer (ON layer 61) of each of the capacitor elements 600a and 600b is the same as the thickness of the dielectric layer (ON layer 61) of each of the cell capacitors 700a and 700b, and therefore it is extremely thin. As a result, even when the area of each of the capacitor elements 600a and 600b is small, the charge capacity that is required as the capacitor elements 600a and 600b can be securely maintained.
In this manner, in accordance with the semiconductor device 1, since the area of each of the capacitor elements 600a and 600b can be made small, the semiconductor device 1 can be further miniaturized.
(Effect 2)
In accordance with the semiconductor device 1, the lower electrodes 55a and 55b are respectively connected to the embedded connection layers 58c and 58d at the bottom surfaces of the lower electrodes 55a and 55b. Accordingly, the entire side surface of each of the lower electrodes 55a and 55b can be faced with each of the upper electrodes 69a and 69b, and therefore the area of each of the capacitor elements 600a and 600b can be reduced, accordingly. Therefore, in accordance with the semiconductor device 1, semiconductor devices can be further miniaturized.
(Effect 3)
In accordance with the semiconductor device 1, the capacitor element 600a and the capacitor element 600b are electrically connected to each other by the embedded connection layer 58c, the P type impurity region 13b and the embedded connection layer 58d. As a result, the capacitor element 600a and the capacitor element 600b function as one composite capacitor element. Furthermore, since the connection by the embedded connection layer 58c, the P type impurity region 13b and the embedded connection layer 58d is provided by a serial connection, the sum of a dielectric strength of the capacitor element 600a and a dielectric strength of the capacitor element 600b is a dielectric strength of the one composite capacitor element described above. Therefore, the dielectric strength is improved as compared to the case in which only the capacitor element 600a (or the capacitor element 600b) is provided.
{Method for Manufacturing Device}
A method for manufacturing the semiconductor device 1 shown in FIG. 15 is described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 14. FIGS. 1 through 14 show steps of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device 1.
(Formation of Gate Electrode, Word Line, P Type Impurity Region)
First, steps of forming gate electrodes 17a and 17b and word lines 100a and 100b, and a P type impurity region 13b shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
As shown in FIG. 1, field oxide layers 15a, 15b, 15c and 15d are formed on the surface of a P− type semiconductor substrate 11 by, for example, a selective oxide method. The field oxide layers 15a and 15b are formed in the DRAM region 1000. The field oxide layers 15c and 15d are formed in the analog element region 2000.
Next, a p-type impurity (for example, boron) is ion-implanted in the entire surface of the P− type semiconductor substrate 11, to thereby form a P type well 13 in the P− type semiconductor substrate 11. Among the P type well 13, a region that is defined by the field oxide layer 15a and another field oxide layer 15b becomes an active region 13a. Also, a region that is defined by the field oxide layer 15c and another field oxide layer 15d becomes an active region 13b. 
As shown in FIG. 2, the P− type semiconductor substrate 11 is, for example, thermally oxidized to form a thermal oxide layer that becomes gate oxide layers 25a and 25b over the active regions 13a. Then, a doped amorphous silicon layer is formed on the thermal oxide layer by using, for example, a CVD method. The doped amorphous silicon layer becomes components of gate electrodes and the like. The doped amorphous silicon layer becomes a polycrystal silicon layer 21 in a heat treatment conducted during the manufacturing process. Then, a tungsten silicide layer 23 is formed over the doped amorphous silicon layer by using, for example, a CVD method. Next, a silicon oxide layer 27 that becomes a cap layer is formed over the tungsten silicide layer 23 by, for example, a CVD method.
A structure having the thermal oxide layer, the doped amorphous silicon layer, the tungsten silicide layer 23 and the silicon oxide layer 27 is subject to a specified patterning by, for example, photolithography and etching. As a result, word lines 100a and 100b and gate electrodes 17a and 17b are formed in the DRAM region 1000.
Next, a resist 83 is formed over the entire surface of the analog element region 2000. An N type impurity (for example, phosphorous) is ion-implanted in the active region 13a, using the resist 83 and the gate electrodes 17a and 17b as masks, to thereby form N− type impurity regions 29a, 29b and 29c. 
(Formation of Bit Line)
Steps of forming a bit line 300 shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIGS. 3 through 5.
As shown in FIG. 3, a TEOS layer 31 is formed in a manner to cover the P− type semiconductor substrate 11 by, for example, a CVD method. Then, a silicon nitride layer 33 is formed over the TEOS layer 31 by, for example, a CVD method. The TEOS layer 31 and the silicon nitride layer 33 function as an etching stopper in the succeeding step, i.e., the step of forming a contact hole.
As shown in FIG. 4, an interlayer dielectric layer 35 that is composed of a silicon oxide layer is formed over the silicon nitride layer 33 by, for example, a CVD method. Then, a resist is formed over the interlayer dielectric layer 35. A layer composed of the interlayer dielectric layer 35, the silicon nitride layer 33 and the TEOS layer 31 is selectively etched, using the resist as a mask, to form a contact hole 37 that reaches the N− type impurity region 29b. The step of forming the contact hole 37 is described in detail below.
In the step of forming the contact hole 37, first, the interlayer dielectric layer 35 is etched with the resist functioning as a mask. In this etching step, the silicon nitride layer 33 functions as an etching stopper. Then, the silicon nitride layer 33 is etched. In this etching step, the TEOS layer 31 functions as an etching stopper. Then, lastly, the TEOS layer 31 is etched. By the steps described above, the contact hole 37 is formed in a self-alignment manner. By forming the contact hole 37 in this manner, the gate electrode 17a can be prevented from being exposed through the contact hole 37.
Then, an N type impurity (for example, phosphorous) is ion-implanted in the active region 13a, using the interlayer dielectric layer 35 as a mask, to form an N+ type impurity region 39. The N+ type impurity region 39 and the N− type impurity region 29b form an N+ type source/drain region 41b. 
As shown in FIG. 5, a doped amorphous silicon layer is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 35 by using, for example, a CVD method. The doped amorphous silicon layer becomes a silicon layer 43 that is a component of a bit line. The doped amorphous silicon layer becomes a polycrystal silicon layer 43 in a heat treatment conducted during the manufacturing process. Then, a tungsten silicide layer 45 is formed over the doped amorphous silicon layer by using, for example, a CVD method. A structure composed of the doped amorphous silicon layer and the tungsten silicide layer 45 is subject to a specified patterning by, for example, photolithography and etching. As a result, a bit line 300 is formed in the DRAM region 1000. The bit line 300 is also formed on the inside of the contact hole 37 and electrically connects to the N+ type source/drain region 41b. 
(Formation of Storage Node, Lower Electrode)
Steps of forming storage nodes 53a and 53b and lower electrodes 55a and 55b shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
As shown in FIG. 6, an interlayer dielectric layer 47 that is composed of a silicon oxide layer is formed over the entire surface of the P− type semiconductor substrate 11 in a manner to cover the bit line 300 by, for example, a CVD method. Then, a resist is formed over the interlayer dielectric layer 47. A layer composed of the interlayer dielectric layers 47 and 35, the silicon nitride layer 33 and the TEOS layer 31 is selectively etched, using the resist as a mask, to form contact holes 51a-51d. The contact hole 51a reaches the N− type impurity region 29a. The contact hole 51b reaches the N− type impurity region 29c. The contact hole 51c reaches one end section of the P type impurity region 13b. The contact hole 51d reaches the other end section of the P type impurity region 13b. 
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a resist (not shown) is formed over the entire surface of the analog element region 2000. An N type impurity (for example, phosphorous) is ion-implanted in the active region 13a, using the resist and the interlayer dielectric layer 47 as masks, to form N+ type impurity regions 49a and 49b. The N+ type impurity region 49a and the N− type impurity region 29a form an N+ type source/drain region 411a. The N+ type impurity region 49b and the N− type impurity region 29c form an N+ type source/drain region 41c. 
As shown in FIG. 7, a doped amorphous silicon layer is formed over the interlayer dielectric layer 47 and on the inside of the contact holes 51a ̃51d by, for example, a CVD method. The doped amorphous silicon layer over the interlayer dielectric layer 47 becomes storage nodes and lower electrodes. The doped amorphous silicon layer inside the contact holes 51a ̃51d becomes embedded connection layers 58a ̃58d. In this manner, the storage nodes and the embedded connection layers connecting thereto are integrally formed, and the lower electrodes and the embedded connection layers connecting thereto are integrally formed. The doped amorphous silicon layer becomes a polycrystal silicon layer in a heat treatment conducted during the manufacturing process.
Next, the doped amorphous silicon layer is subject to a specified patterning by, for example, photolithography and etching. As a result, storage nodes 53a and 53b are formed in the DRAM region 1000. Also, lower electrodes 55a and 55b are formed in the analog element region 2000.
(Formation of Roughened Surfaces on Storage Nodes and Lower Electrodes)
Steps for forming roughened surfaces on the storage nodes 53a and 53b and the lower electrodes 55a and 55b shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The surfaces of the storage nodes 53a and 53b and the lower electrodes 55a and 55b are roughened to increase the surface area and to thereby increase the storage capacity.
As shown in FIG. 8, an amorphous silicon layer 57 having a rough surface is formed over the entire surface of the P− type silicon substrate 11 in a manner to cover the storage nodes 53a and 53b and the lower electrodes 55a and 55b. This surface treatment is well known, and therefore its description is omitted in the present specification.
As shown in FIG. 9, the entire surface of the amorphous silicon layer 57 is etched back, to thereby remove the amorphous silicon layer 57 on the interlayer dielectric layer 47. This is required to prevent a short circuit between the storage node 53a and storage node 53b, and also to prevent a short circuit between the lower electrode 55a and lower electrode 55b. As the etching back step is conducted, the roughness of the surface of the amorphous silicon layer 57 are directly reflected on the surfaces of the storage nodes 53a and 53b and on the surfaces of the lower electrodes 55a and 55b. As a result, the roughness is formed on the surfaces of the storage nodes 53a and 53b and on the surfaces of the lower electrodes 55a and 55b. 
(Formation of Cell Plate, Upper Electrodes, Resistance Elements)
Steps of forming a cell plate 67, upper electrodes 69a and 69b, and resistance elements 400 and 500 shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIGS. 10 through 14.
As shown in FIG. 10, a silicon nitride layer is formed over the entire surface of the P− type semiconductor substrate 11 in a manner to cover the storage nodes 53a and 53b and the lower electrodes 55a and 55b by, for example, a CVD method. The silicon nitride layer is thermally oxidized to form a silicon oxide layer on the surface of the silicon nitride layer, which define an ON layer 61.
As shown in FIG. 11, a non-doped polycrystal silicon layer 63 is formed over the entire surface of the P− type semiconductor substrate 11 in a manner to cover the ON layer 61 by, for example, a CVD method.
As shown in FIG. 12, a first ion-implantation is conducted. More specifically, an impurity (for example, phosphorous) is ion-implanted in the entire surface of the polycrystal silicon layer 63. The dose is 2e15 ̃3e15. The implanting energy is 10 ̃20 keV. These conditions are used to obtain a specified resistance value (for example, 1 ̃10 k Ω)) of the resistance element 500 shown in FIG. 15.
As shown in FIG. 13, a resist 65 is formed in a region on the polycrystal silicon layer 63 where the resistance element 500 shown in FIG. 15 is to be formed. Then, a second ion-implantation is conducted. More specifically, an impurity (for example, phosphorous) is ion-implanted in the polycrystal silicon layer 63, using the resist 65 as a mask. The dose is 5e15-8e15. The implanting energy is 10 ̃20 keV. By the first and second ion-implantation steps, a specified resistance value (for example, 200 ̃300 Ω) of the resistance element 400 shown in FIG. 15 is obtained.
Then, the polycrystal silicon layer 63 is subject to a specified patterning by, for example, photolithography and etching. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, a cell plate 67 is formed in the DRAM region 1000. Also, upper electrodes 69a and 69b, a resistance element 400 and a resistance element 500 are formed in the analog element region 200.
(Formation of Aluminum Wirings)
Steps of forming aluminum wirings 75a  ̃75f shown in FIG. 15 are described with reference to FIG. 15. These steps can be conducted by a know method, and therefore they are briefly described.
As shown in FIG. 15, an interlayer dielectric layer 71 that is composed of a silicon oxide layer is formed over the entire surface of the P− type semiconductor substrate 11. A plurality of through holes are formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 71, and tungsten plugs 73a  ̃73f are embedded in the respective through holes. Then, aluminum wirings 75a-75f are formed over the interlayer dielectric layer 71.
