Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) device that integrates a TLPM and one or more planar semiconductor devices on a semiconductor substrate. In manufacturing the semiconductor IC device according to one embodiment, a trench etching forms a trench. A p-type body region, an n-type expanded drain region, and a thick oxide film are formed. A second trench etching deepens the trench. Gate oxide films and gate electrodes of the TLPM, an NMOSFET, and a PMOSFET are formed. P-type base regions of the TLPM and an NPN bipolar transistor are formed. An n-type source and drain region of the TLPM, and n-type diffusion regions of the NMOSFET and the NPN bipolar transistor are formed. P-type diffusion regions of the PMOSFET and the NPN bipolar transistor are formed. An interlayer oxide film, a contact electrode, and constituent metal electrodes are formed.
