Appeal No. 2001-1523 Application No. 08/731,236 The disclosed invention is directed to a manufacturing process for a semiconductor device having semiconductor memories and bipolar transistors. The process includes forming contact holes for the semiconductor memories in an insulating film, and concurrently forming a plurality of openings in an insulating film, and forming bipolar transistors at the locations of the additional openings. In specific embodiments, appellant’s claimed method includes forming the bipolar transistors with characteristics different from each other. Further understanding of the invention can be obtained by reading the following claim. 1. A manufacturing process for a semiconductor device having a semiconductor memory circuit region containing semiconductor memories, and a peripheral circuit region disposed around said semiconductor circuit region and containing bipolar transistors, said process comprising the steps of: forming contact holes, for said semiconductor memories, selectively in an insulating film in said semiconductor memory circuit region; forming a plurality of openings selectively in an insulating film, concurrently with forming one of said contact holes, in bipolar transistor forming regions; forming contact conductors in said contact holes; and 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
