    摘要: The present invention enables to avoid a reduction in coupling ratio in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. The reduction is coupling ratio is caused due to difficulties in batch forming of a control gate material, an interpoly dielectric film material, and a floating gate material, the difficulties accompanying a reduction in word line width. Further, the invention enables to avoid damage caused in the batch forming on a gate oxide film. Before forming floating gates of memory cells of a nonvolatile memory, a space enclosed by insulating layers is formed for each of the floating gates of the memory cells, so that the floating gate is buried in the space. This structure is realized by processing the floating gates in a self alignment manner after depositing the floating gate material. Therefore, it is unnecessary to perform the batch forming of the control gate material, the interpoly dielectric film material, and the floating gate material in the case of processing the control gates, thereby ensuring adequate interpoly dielectric film capacitance.

    摘要: Reliability of a semiconductor device having a nonvolatile memory comprising first through third gate electrodes is enhanced. With a flash memory having first gate electrodes (floating gate electrodes), second gate electrodes (control gate electrodes) and third gate electrodes, isolation parts are formed in a self-aligned manner against patterns of a conductor film for forming the third gate electrodes by filling up the respective isolation grooves and a gate insulator film for select nMISes in a peripheral circuit region is formed prior to the formation of the isolation parts. By so doing, deficiency with the gate insulator film for the select nMISes, caused by stress occurring to the isolation parts, can be reduced. Further, with the semiconductor device including the case of stacked memory cells, the patterns of the conductor film for forming the third gate electrodes, serving as a mask for forming the isolation parts in the self-aligned manner, can be formed without misalignment against channels.

    摘要: Suppressing a leakage current is required in a flash memory because the channel length is made shorter with a reduction in the memory cell size. In an AND type memory array having an assist electrode, although the memory cell area has been reduced by the field isolation using a MOS transistor, leakage current in the channel direction becomes greater with a reduction in the memory cell size, resulting in problems arising like deterioration of programming characteristics, an increase in the current consumption, and reading failure. To achieve the objective, in the present invention, electrical isolation is performed by controlling at least one assist electrode of the assist electrodes wired in parallel to be a negative voltage during program and read operations and by making the semiconductor substrate surface in the vicinity of the aforementioned assist electrode non-conductive.
