Method of producing semiconductor integrated circuit having parasitic channel stopper region
First Claim
1. A method of producing a semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and having a principal surface;
disposing a first mask material layer on said principal surface, said first mask material layer having a first impurity introducing region corresponding to a predetermined well forming pattern;
selectively doping a first impurity which determines a second conductivity type, opposite to said first conductivity type, into said principal surface through said first impurity introducing region, thereby forming a well region in said principal surface, said well region having said second conductivity type which is determined by said first impurity;
forming a second mask material layer in such a manner as to cover both said first impurity introducing region and said first mask material layer;
disposing first and second mask layers on said second mask material layer, said first and second mask layers respectively corresponding to a first active region pattern inside said well region and a second active region pattern outside said well region, thereby defining a second impurity introducing region corresponding to a predetermined parasitic channel stopper pattern between the stack portion of said first and second mask material layers and said first mask layer;
selectively ion-implanting a second impurity which determines said second conductivity type into the surface of said well region through said second impurity introducing region;
selectively removing said first and second mask material layers by selective etching using said first and second mask layers; and
carrying out selective thermal oxidation using the remaining portions of said first and second mask material layers as a mask, whereby a field oxide film is formed on said principal surface, and a parasitic channel stopper region is formed within said well region and directly below said field oxide film, said parasitic channel stopper region having said second conductivity type which is determined by said second impurity.

Abstract
A complementary MOS type integrated circuit is produced by a method which comprises the steps of: disposing a first mask material layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, the first mask material layer having a first impurity introducing region corresponding to a desired well forming pattern; forming a well region by selectively doping an impurity into the surface of the substrate through the first impurity introducing region; forming a second mask material layer in such a manner as to cover both the first impurity introducing region and the first mask material layer; disposing first and second mask layers on the second mask material layer, the first and second mask layers respectively corresponding to a first active region pattern within the well region and a second active region pattern outside the well region, thereby defining a second impurity introducing region corresponding to a desired parasitic channel stopper pattern between the stack portion of the first and second mask material layers and the first mask layer; selectively ion-implanting an impurity into the surface of the well region through the second impurity introducing region; selectively removing the first and second mask material layers by selective etching using the first and second mask layers; and selectively thermally oxidizing the surface of the substrate using the remaining portions of the first and second mask material layers as a mask, thereby simultaneously forming a field oxide film and a parasitic channel stopper region containing the implanted impurity. According to this method, the parasitic channel stopper region is self-aligned with both the well region and the field oxide film.
