Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a gate wire including a laminated film in which a polysilicon film, a barrier conductive film, and a metal film are laminated in this order; a first contact plug/upper layer wire arranged above the source or the drain; a second upper layer wire arranged above an element isolation region; a second contact plug arranged apart from the second upper layer wire and connecting the metal film and the polysilicon film above a channel region; and a third contact plug formed apart from the polysilicon film in the element isolation region and connecting the second upper layer wire and the metal film. The second contact plug includes a barrier metal in contact with the polysilicon film and the barrier conductive film is made of WN, TaN, or Ta and the barrier metal is made of Ti or TiN.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device comprising: a gate wire extending from a channel region into an element isolation region and including a laminated film in which a polysilicon film, a barrier conductive film, and a metal film are laminated in this order from a lower layer side; a first contact plug connected to a source or a drain adjacent to the channel region; a first upper layer wire arranged above the source or the drain and connected to the first contact plug…
