A method for fabricating floating body memory cells (FBCs), and the resultant FBCs where gates favoring different conductivity type regions are used is described. In one embodiment, a p type back gate with a thicker insulation is used with a thinner insulated n type front gate. Processing, which compensates for misalignment, which allows the different oxide and gate materials to be fabricated is described.

A semiconductor device manufacturing method improves the yield of manufacturing semiconductor devices. There are provided an insulating film for covering multiple bonding pads, a first protective film over the insulating film, and a second protective film over the first protective film. In semiconductor chips, multiple electrode layers are coupled electrically to each of the bonding pads via first openings formed in the insulating film and second openings formed in the first protective film. Multiple bump electrodes are coupled electrically to each of the electrode layers via third openings formed in the second protective film. In pseudo chips, the second openings are formed in the first protective film and the third openings are formed in the second protective film. The insulating film is exposed at the bottom of the second openings coinciding with the third openings. A protective tape is applied to a principal plane to cover the bump electrodes.

A method for forming semiconductor devices includes forming a highly doped region. A stack of alternating layers is formed on the substrate. The stack is patterned to form nanosheet structures. A dummy gate structure is formed over and between the nanosheet structures. An interlevel dielectric layer is formed. The dummy gate structures are removed. SG regions are blocked, and top sheets are removed from the nanosheet structures along the dummy gate trench. A bottommost sheet is released and forms a channel for a field effect transistor device by etching away the highly doped region under the nanosheet structure and layers in contact with the bottommost sheet. A gate structure is formed in and over the dummy gate trench wherein the bottommost sheet forms a device channel for the EG device.
