    摘要: The memory cell configuration comprises vertical transistors which are connected in a NOR architecture. The vertical transistors are disposed on flanks of trenches. Each vertical transistor includes an electrically insulated floating gate electrode, whose charge can be varied by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling due to a voltage drop between a control gate electrode and a source/drain region. The length of a coupling area in a direction parallel to a channel width, between the control gate electrode and the floating gate electrode is less than the channel width, in order to reduce the operating voltage. This is achieved by thermal oxidation of parts of the flanks of the trenches. Transistors which are adjacent in a direction transverse to the trenches share bit lines. Each bit line has a lightly doped first part and a highly doped second part. The coupling area can be enlarged even further by using a strip-shaped mask, which is extended by spacers.

    摘要: For the operation of a memory cell arrangement with MOS transistors as memory cells that comprise a dielectric triple layer (5) with a first silicon oxide layer (51), a silicon nitride layer (52) and a second silicon oxide layer (53) as gate dielectric, whereby the silicon oxide layers are respectively at least 3 nm thick, a first cutoff voltage value is allocated to a first logical value and a second cutoff voltage value of the MOS transistor is allocated to a second logical value for storing digital data. The information stored in the memory cell can be modified by applying corresponding voltage levels, although a complete removal of charge stored in the silicon nitride layer is not possible because of the thickness of the silicon oxide layers. What is exploited when modifying the cutoff voltage is that the electrical field in the dielectric triple layer is distorted by charge stored in the silicon nitride layer.

    摘要: In a method for manufacturing an electrically writeable and erasable ad-only memory cell arrangement, by self-adjusting process steps, a read-only memory cell arrangement having memory cells that respectively comprise an MOS transistor with a floating gate is manufactured. The MOS transistors are arranged in rows that run parallel. Adjacent rows thus respectively run alternately on the bottom of longitudinal trenches and between adjacent longitudinal trenches. The control gates laterally surround the floating gates so that the memory cells on the bottom of the longitudinal trenches also comprise a coupling ratio>1. A surface requirement per memory cell of 2F.sup.2 (F minimum structural size) is achieved.

    摘要: An electrically programmable memory cell array is formed of memory cells, which include a vertical MOS transistor. The MOS transistor has a gate dielectric of a material with charge carrier traps. The memory cells are disposed along opposite edges of striplike, parallel insulation trenches. The width and spacing of the insulation trenches are preferably identical. The space required per memory cell of the memory cell array is 2F2, where F is the minimum structural size in the technology employed. The memory cells are programmed by selectively injecting electrons into the gate dielectric.

    摘要: For the manufacture of a memory cell arrangement with first memory cells that comprise a vertical MOS transistor and with second memory cells that do not comprise an MOS transistor, whereby the memory cells are arranged along opposite edges of strip-type trenches, memory cells that are adjacent along the trenches (5) are manufactured successively. The spacing of adjacent memory cells is determined in particular by means of a spacer technology. By this means, a space requirement per memory cell of 1F.sup.2 can be realized, whereby F is the minimum structural size of the respective technology.
