Semiconductor device and method for fabricating the same
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:
- forming on a first conduction type substrate a device isolation film for defining a device region including a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region;
forming above the device region a conducting film interposing a gate insulation film therebetween;
patterning the conducting film to form a gate electrode in the first region and a dummy electrode in the second region near the interface between the first region and the second region, the dummy electrode being electrically insulated with the gate electrode;
doping an impurity having a second conduction type different from the first conduction type in the first region with the gate electrode as a mask to form source/drain regions in the first region on both sides of the gate electrode; and
doping an impurity having the first conduction type in the second region with the dummy electrode as a mask to form a body contact region in the second region.

Abstract
The semiconductor device comprises: a conducting layer including: a channel region; a source region and a drain region sandwiching the channel region; and a body region connected to the channel region and being adjacent to the source region and the drain region; a gate electrode formed above the channel region interposing a gate insulation film therebetween; a dummy electrode formed on the body region near the interface between at least the drain region and the body region, and electrically insulated with the gate electrode; and a body contact region formed in the body region except a region where the dummy electrode is formed. The gate electrode and the dummy electrode are electrically insulated with each other, whereby the semiconductor device having body contacts can have a gate capacitance much decreased. Accordingly, deterioration of the speed performance of the transistors can be suppressed.
