Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a semiconductor device with a SOI structure and a method of manufacturing the same, preventing deterioration in and making improvement in device characteristics. Nitrogen ion implantation into NMOS and PMOS regions (NR, PR) with resists (22b) and (22c) as masks, respectively, introduces nitrogen ions into channel doped layers (31). The subsequent thermal treatment provides a structure with the channel doped layers (31) containing nitrogen having a prescribed concentration distribution in the depth direction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A semiconductor device formed on a SOI substrate in which a buried oxide film and a SOI layer are stacked on a silicon substrate, said semiconductor device comprising: a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type formed in a predetermined position of said SOI layer, said first semiconductor region extending from a surface of said SOI layer to a surface of said buried oxide film; a pair of second semiconductor regions of a second conductivity type selectively formed in said SOI layer so as to sandwich said first semiconductor region; a gate oxide film formed in an upper portion of said first semiconductor region; and a gate electrode formed on said gate oxide film, wherein said first semiconductor region contains nitrogen introduced so as to have a predetermined concentration distribution in a depth direction thereof, said predetermined concentration distribution having: a first peak portion having a first concentration range, in the vicinity of an interface between said first semiconductor region and said buried oxide film; and a second peak portion having a second concentration range, in the vicinity of an interface between said first semiconductor region and said gate oxide film.
