    摘要: A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same with easy formation of a phase change film is realized, realizing high integration and using a phase change film as a memory element. Between a MISFET of a region forming one memory cell and an adjoining MISFET, each MISFET source adjoins in the front surface of an insulating semiconductor substrate. A multi-layer structure of a phase change film and electric conduction film of specific resistance lower than the specific resistance is formed in plan view of the front surface of a semiconductor substrate ranging over each source of both MISFETs, and a plug is stacked thereon. The multi-layer structure functions as a wiring extending and existing in parallel on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and an electric conduction film sends current in a parallel direction on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A technique capable of improving speed of a set operation, which controls writing rate in a semiconductor device including a memory cell using a phase-change material. The technique uses means for setting a set-pulse voltage to be applied to the phase-change material to have two steps: the first-step voltage sets a temperature of the phase-change memory to a temperature at which the fastest nucleation is obtained; and the second pulse sets the temperature to a temperature at which the fastest crystal growth is obtained, thereby obtaining solid-phase growth of the phase-change material without melting. Moreover, the technique uses means for controlling the two-step voltage applied to the phase-change memory by a two-step voltage applied to a word line capable of reducing the drain current variation.

    摘要: Manufacturing processes for phase change memory have suffered from the problem of chalcogenide material being susceptible to delamination, since this material exhibits low adhesion to high melting point metals and silicon oxide films. Furthermore, chalcogenide material has low thermal stability and hence tends to sublime during the manufacturing process of phase change memory. According to the present invention, conductive or insulative adhesive layers are formed over and under the chalcogenide material layer to enhance its delamination strength. Further, a protective film made up of a nitride film is formed on the sidewalls of the chalcogenide material layer to prevent sublimation of the chalcogenide material layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of memory cells, a central processing unit, a timer circuit which times a RESET time, and a timer circuit which times a SET time. A threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor of each memory cell is lower than that of the peripheral circuit, thereby easily executing a RESET operation. The direction of a flowing current is changed across the RESET operation and the SET operation, and the bit lines are activated at high speed, thus preventing system malfunctions. Further, the semiconductor device can overcome such problems as a wrong write operation and data destruction, resulting from the variation in the CMOS transistors when operating phase change elements with minimum size CMOS transistors at a core voltage (e.g. 1.2 V). According to the present invention, stable operations can be realized at a low voltage, using minimum-size cell transistors.
