摘要:
The present invention relates to a non-volatile semiconductor memory having non-volatile memory cells capable of electrically erasing and writing data. Each memory cell has a floating gate formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate above the channel region, and a control gate. The floating gate partially covers the channel region. Each memory cell is thereby constructed of a parallel connection of a floating gate transistor and an enhancement type transistor. The floating gate transistor is displaced in one of the widthwise directions of the channel region, or partially covers only the central portion of the channel region in the widthwise direction thereof. A plurality of memory cells are connected in series to constitute a basic block. Adjacent basic blocks are separated by an enhancement type MOS transistor. In this memory, a memory cell (floating gate) and an enhancement type MOS transistor (gate) are formed in self alignment with each other using the same mask. In addition, in this memory, a control gate and a floating gate are formed in self alignment with each other using the same mask.

An erasable programmable read-only memory with NAND cell structure includes NAND cell blocks, each of which has a selection transistor connected to the corresponding bit line and a series array of memory cell transistors, and a switching transistor connected between the series array of memory cell transistors and ground. Each cell transistor has a floating gate and a control gate. Word lines are connected to the control gates of the cell transistors. In a data writing mode, a selection transistor of a certain cell block containing a selected cell is rendered conductive, so that this cell block is connected to the corresponding bit line. Under such a condition, a decoder circuit stores a desired data (a logic "one" e.g.) in the selected cell, by applying an "H" level voltage to the bit line, applying an "L" level voltage to a word line connected to the selected cell, applying the "H" level voltage to a memory cell or cells positioned between the selected cell and the bit line, and applying the "L" level voltage to a memory cell or cells positioned between the selected cell and the ground. The selection transistor and switching transistor for a corresponding series array of memory cell transistors have different channel lengths to reduce punch through.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory device wherein at least one of a storage node contact hole and a bit line contact hole includes a first contact hole made in a first inter-layer insulating film formed over a gate electrode and a second contact hole made in a second inter-layer insulating film formed over an electrically conductive material embedded up to a level higher than the gate electrode in the first contact hole which is contacted with the electrically conductive material, the conductive material being exposed by etching a part of the second inter-layer insulating film, whereby the size of the memory device can be made small and the reliability can be improved. Further, a capacitor is formed in a layer higher than a bit line thereby to facilitate the processing of a storage node electrode to increase the capacitor area and to improve the reliability since it is unnecessary to carry out patterning a plate electrode within a cell array. With the above construction, a short-circuiting between the embedded layers is removed and a good quality of the second inter-layer insulating film is formed.

When a semiconductor device having a multi-layered contact is fabaricated, the gate electrode is covered with a thick insulator film. A polycrystalline silicon film is formed in a state in which at least the gate electrode in the contact forming area is covered with a first oxidization-proof insulator film. An inter-layer insulator film is then formed in a state in which at least part of the polycrystalline silicon film is covered with a second oxidization-proof insulator film. A first contact hole is formed using the polycrystalline silicon film as an etching stopper, and the polycrystalline silicon film is then oxidized. Furthermore, a second contact hole is formed in the inter-layer insulator film on the upper surface of the second oxidization-proof insulator film using as the etching stopper the polycrystalline silicon film underlying the second oxidization-proof insulator film. Since the polycrystalline silicon film is formed under the inter-layer insulator film in the second contact forming area so as to cover the gate electrode, it acts as a stopper when the second contact is formed to thereby prevent a short circuit with the gate electrode even if there is no distance between the gate electrode and the second contact.
摘要:
An erasable programmable read-only memory with NAND cell structure is disclosed which includes NAND cell blocks each of which has a selection transistor connected to a corresponding bit line and a series array of memory cell transistors. Each cell transistor has a floating gate and a control gate. Word lines are connected to the control gates of the cell transistors. In a data erase mode all the memory cells are simultaneously erased by applying a "H" level potential to the control gates of the memory cells and a "L" level potential to the bit lines. Prior to such a simultaneous erase, charges are removed from charge accumulation layers of the memory cells so that the threshold values of the memory cells are initialized. The threshold initialization is performed on the series-arrayed memory cell transistors in the NAND cell block in sequence.
摘要:
A method of combustion and a fluidized bed incinerator for burning and decomposing refuse such as municipal wastes are disclosed. The refuse is fluidized together with a fluidizing medium such as sand and primary air, to form a fluidized bed where the refuse is burned and decomposed. The pyrolysis gas produce by thermal decomposition of the refuse is combusted with secondary air supplied to the incinerator. By controlling the temperature inside the fluidized bed so as to be maintained in the range from 520.degree. to 650.degree. C., stable combustion is achieved, despite changes in the volume of refuse added to the fluidized bed, and the unburned pyrolysis gas and smut densities in the exhaust gas are decreased. Temperature control is achieved by spraying water onto the fluidized bed. The combustion air ratio can be reduced because the refuse can be stably combusted, and the temperature of pyrolysis gas inside the combustion chamber can be maintained at a high level.
