摘要:
Process for fabricating a SONOS flash memory device, including in one embodiment, forming a bottom oxide layer of an ONO structure on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the bottom oxide layer has a first oxygen vacancy content; treating the bottom oxide layer to decrease the first oxygen vacancy content to a second oxygen vacancy content; and depositing a dielectric charge-storage layer on the bottom oxide layer. In another embodiment, a process for fabricating a SONOS flash memory device includes forming a bottom oxide layer of an ONO structure on the semiconductor substrate under strongly oxidizing conditions, wherein the bottom oxide layer has a super-stoichiometric oxygen content and an oxygen vacancy content reduced relative to a bottom oxide layer formed by a conventional process; and depositing a dielectric charge-storage layer on the bottom oxide layer.
