Abstract

In a semiconductor device, N-type diffusion regions for providing an LDD structure are formed on a P-type substrate. A thick CVD deposited insulating film is formed on both the diffusion regions. A word line layer is formed on this deposited insulating film and a gate oxide film in a direction crossing the diffusion regions. Since the deposited insulating film is set to be thick, a capacity between one of the diffusion regions as a bit line layer and the word line layer is reduced so that a reading speed of the semiconductor device is improved. Further, a punch through proof pressure is increased since the diffusion regions have an LDD structure. Thus, it is possible to provide a planar cell structure which increases the reading speed and is advantageous in a fine structure. Another semiconductor device is also shown. A method for manufacturing the semiconductor device is further shown.

forming a plurality of masks on a substrate, each of said plurality of masks being spaced apart in a side by side relationship such that a diffusion region having a predefined width is defined for the space between each of said plurality of masks, each diffusion region being formed in a planar cell structure, and space between each diffusion region defines a channel region on said substrate;
implanting impurities in each diffusion region to form source and drain regions on said substrate, said source and drain regions are formed with a high impurity concentration in a central portion thereof relative to said width of said diffusion region and a low impurity concentration in edge portions thereof relative to the central portion of said diffusion region;
forming a first insulation film having a predefined thickness on said diffusion regions;
removing each of said plurality of masks so that each channel region is exposed;
forming a second insulation film having a predefined thickness on each channel region, said thickness of said second insulation layer being less than said thickness of said first insulation layer;
