摘要:
In a non-volatile memory in which writing/erasing is performed by changing a total charge amount by injecting electrons and holes into a silicon nitride film serving as a charge accumulation layer, in order to realize a high efficiency of a hole injection from a gate electrode, the gate electrode of a memory cell comprises a laminated structure made of a plurality of polysilicon films with different impurity concentrations, for example, a two-layered structure comprising a p-type polysilicon film with a low impurity concentration and a p+-type polysilicon film with a high impurity concentration deposited thereon.

A MOSFET having a high mobility may be obtained by introducing nitrogen to the channel region or the interface between the gate dielectric film and the SiC substrate of the SiC MOSFET, but there is a problem that a normally-on MOSFET is obtained. For realizing both a high mobility and normally-off, and for providing a SiC MOSFET having further high reliability, nitrogen is introduced to the channel region of the SiC substrate or the interface between the gate dielectric film and the SiC substrate, and furthermore a metal oxide film having a thickness of 10%, or less of the total thickness of the gate dielectric film is inserted in the gate dielectric film.

A charge holding insulating film in a memory cell is constituted by a laminated film composed of a bottom insulating film, a charge storage film, and a top insulating film on a semiconductor substrate. Further, by performing a plasma nitriding treatment to the bottom insulating film, a nitride region whose nitrogen concentration has a peak value and is 1 atom % or more is formed on the upper surface side in the bottom insulating film. The thickness of the nitride region is set to 0.5 nm or more and 1.5 nm or less, and the peak value of nitrogen concentration is set to 5 atom % or more and 40 atom % or less, and a position of the peak value of nitrogen concentration is set within 2 nm from the upper surface of the bottom insulating film, thereby suppressing an interaction between the bottom insulating film and the charge storage film.
摘要:
Conventionally, a MONOS type nonvolatile memory is fabricated by subjecting a silicon nitride film to ISSG oxidation to form a top silicon oxide film of ONO structure. If the ISSG oxidation conditions are severe, repeats of programming/erase operation cause increase of interface state density (Dit) and electron trap density. This does not provide a sufficient value of the on current, posing a problem in that the deterioration of charge trapping properties cannot be suppressed.For the solution to the problem, the silicon nitride film is oxidized by means of a high concentration ozone gas to form the top silicon oxide film.

In a SiC-MOSFET power device for which a SiC substrate is used, a laminated insulating film having a charge-trapping characteristic is employed as a gate insulating film of the SiC-DiMOSFET, and charges are injected into the laminated insulating film, thereby suppressing a change in the gate threshold voltage.
摘要:
A SiC MOSFET has a subject that resistance in the source region is increased when annealing for metal silicidation is performed to a source region before forming the gate insulating film, the metal silicide layer of the source region is oxidized by an oxidizing treatment (including oxynitriding treatment) when the gate insulating film is formed. When a metal silicide layer to be formed on the surface of a SiC epitaxial substrate is formed before forming a gate insulating film interface layer (oxide film), and an anti-oxidation film for the metal silicide is formed on the metal silicide layer, it is possible to suppress oxidation of the metal silicide layer by the oxidizing treatment upon forming the gate insulating film interface layer and the resistance of the source region can be decreased without lowering the channel mobility.
