摘要:
A power MOSFET is described. A trench is in a body layer and an epitaxial layer. An isolation structure is on the substrate at one side of the trench. An oxide layer is on the surface of the trench. A first conductive layer fills the trench and extends to the isolation structure. A dielectric layer is on the first conductive layer and isolation structure and has an opening exposing the first conductive layer. At least one source region is in the body layer at the other side of the trench. A second conductive layer is on the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the source region while electrically isolated from the first conductive layer by the dielectric layer. A third conductive layer is on the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the first conductive layer through the opening of the dielectric layer. The second and third conductive layers are separated.

The invention includes a method of forming a programmable memory device. A tunnel oxide is formed to be supported by a semiconductor substrate. A stack is formed over the tunnel oxide. The stack comprises a floating gate, dielectric mass and control gate. The stack has a top, and has opposing sidewalls extending downwardly from the top. The dielectric mass includes silicon nitride. Silicon nitride spacers are formed along sidewalls of the stack, and a silicon nitride cap is formed over a top of the stack. The silicon nitride within the dielectric mass, cap and/or sidewall spacers is formed from trichlorosilane and ammonia.

Leakage current can be controlled while the state of interface with SiC is maintained in a good condition.

The present invention provides a flash memory integrated circuit and a method for fabricating the same. The method includes etching a gate stack that includes an initial oxide layer directly in contact with a silicon layer, defining an oxide-silicon interface therebetween. By exposing the etched gate stack to elevated temperatures and a dilute steam ambient, additional oxide material is formed substantially uniformly along the oxide-silicon interface. Polysilicon grain boundaries at the interface are thereby passivated after etching. In the preferred embodiment, the interface is formed between a tunnel oxide and a floating gate, and passivating the grain boundaries reduces erase variability due to enhanced charge transfer along grain boundaries. At the same time, oxide in an upper storage dielectric layer (oxide -nitride-oxide or ONO) is enhanced in the dilute steam oxidation. Thermal budget can be radically conserved by growing thin oxide layers on either side of a nitride layer prior to etching, and enhancing the oxide layers by dilute steam oxidation through the exposed sidewall after etching. The thin oxide layers, like the initial tunnel oxide, serve as diffusion paths to enhance uniform distribution of OH species across the buried interfaces being oxidized.

In a semiconductor device, a gate silicon dioxide layer is formed within a trench of a semiconductor wafer. A first gate electrode is formed on a sidewall of the trench of the semiconductor wafer via the gate silicon dioxide layer. An insulating layer is formed on a bottom of the trench of the semiconductor wafer via the gate silicon dioxide layer and surrounded by the first gate electrode. The insulating layer excludes silicon dioxide and has different etching characteristics from those of silicon dioxide. A second gate electrode is buried in the trench of the semiconductor wafer, and is in contact with the first gate electrode and the insulating layer.

In manufacturing a semiconductor device including a substrate having a (111)-plane orientation and an off-set angle in a range between 3 degrees and 4 degrees, a capacitor, a transistor and a diffusion resistor are formed in the substrate, each of which are separated by a junction separation layer. A first silicon nitride film is formed by low pressure CVD over a surface of the substrate except a bottom portion of a contact hole and a portion over the junction separation layer, and a silicon oxide film is formed by low pressure CVD over the first silicon nitride film. A second silicon nitride film as a protecting film is formed by plasma CVD so as to cover the semiconductor device finally. Therefore, the semiconductor device having high reliability can be obtained.

A high permittivity tunneling dielectric is used in a flash memory cell to provide greater tunneling current into the floating gate with smaller gate voltages. The flash memory cell has a substrate with source/drain regions. The high-k tunneling dielectric is formed above the substrate. The high-k tunneling dielectric can be deposited using evaporation techniques or atomic layer deposition techniques. The floating gate is formed on top of the high-k dielectric layer with an oxide gate insulator on top of that. A polysilicon control gate is formed on the top gate insulator.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device superior in the decrease in leak current due to a short-channel effect and a manufacturing method thereof. In a process of forming a field-effect transistor over a single-crystal semiconductor substrate, an impurity is introduced to form an extension region and a single crystal lattice is broken to make the extension region amorphous. Alternatively, the impurity and an element having large mass number are introduced to break the single crystal lattice and make the extension region amorphous. Then, a laser beam with a pulse width of 1 fs to 10 ps and a wavelength of 370 to 640 nm is delivered to selectively activate the amorphous portion, so that the extension region is formed with a thickness of 20 nm or less.
