    摘要: There is provided a method for manufacturing a flash memory device comprising forming a first insulating film and a conductive layer on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first mask layer on the conductive layer; forming a second mask layer in isolation regions isolated between the first mask layer,- forming first openings by removing the conductive layer and the first insulating film by using the first and second mask layer as a mask; forming a second insulating film in the first openings and the isolation regions; removing the first mask layer, the conductive layer and the first insulating film by using the second insulating film as a mask, forming gate electrodes between the second openings; removing, through the second openings, the first insulating film, forming a gate insulating film at center portions below the gate electrodes; and forming a charge storage layer in an area where the first insulating film is removed. The finished device' has bit lines (18), gate insulating film (22), tunnel insulating film (12), separated charge storage layer (14), top insulating film (12), and gate electrode (24).

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a NAND type multi-state memory cell capable of achieving high memory density, low power consumption, and high reliability. SOLUTION: A NAND type multi-state memory cell has two drain/source regions on a substrate. At the upper part of the substrate between the two drain/source regions, an oxide-nitride-oxide structure is formed. The nitride layer acts as an asymmetric charge trapping layer. At the upper part of the oxide-nitride-oxide structure, a control gate is disposed. By applying an asymmetrical bias across the drain/source region, a high voltage is generated therein. Thereby, GIDL (Gate Induced Drain Leakage) hole injection processing is performed for the trapping layer substantially adjacent the drain/source region and holes are injected in an asymmetrical distribution.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory has plural cell transistors that are arranged in a matrix. The cell transistor comprises a silicon substrate, a control gate, a pair of electrically isolated floating gates. Plural projections are formed in the P type silicon substrate, and a pair of N type diffusion regions as the source and the drain is formed in both sides of the projection. The control gate faces the projection via a fourth insulation layer. The side surface of the floating gates faces the side surfaces of the projection via a first insulation layer, and faces the control gate via a third insulation layer. The floating gate faces the diffusion region via the first insulation layer.
