摘要:
A 2-bit mask ROM device and a fabrication method thereof are described. The 2-bit mask ROM device includes a substrate; a gate structure, disposed on a part of the substrate; a 2-bit code region, configured in the substrate beside both sides of the gate structure; at least one spacer, disposed on both sides of the gate structure; a buried drain region, configured in the substrate beside both sides of the spacer; a doped region, configured in the substrate between the buried drain region and the 2-bit code region, wherein the dopant type of the doped region is different from that for the 2-bit code region and the dopant concentration in the doped region is higher than that in the 2-bit code region; an insulation layer, disposed above the buried drain region; and a word line disposed on the gate structures along a same row.

A method of programming and erasing a SNNNS type non-volatile memory cell is provided. The programming operation is performed by channel hot electron injection from a drain side to an intermediate silicon nitride layer. The erasing operation is performed by channel hot hole injection from a drain side to an intermediate silicon nitride layer. The SNNNS type non-volatile memory cell provides highly efficient hot carrier injection under low applied voltages, both for programming and erasing operations. Thus, the present method provides improved performance characteristics such as shorter programming/erasing times and lower applied voltages.
摘要:
A method of scaling down device dimension using spacer to confine the buried drain implant, applicable for forming memory device such as substrate/oxide/nitride/oxide/silicon (SONOS) stacked device or nitride read only memory (NROM) device. A patterned conductive layer is used as a mask for forming a pocket doped region. A spacer is formed on a side-wall of the conductive layer. As the implantation region is confined by the side-wall, a buried drain region formed by drain implantation is reduced. Therefore, the effective channel length is not reduced due to the diffusion of the buried drain region. It is thus advantageous to scale down device dimension.

A method of fabricating a SONOS device, in which a first silicon oxide layer, a trapping layer, and a second silicon oxide layer are formed on the substrate. Then, a mask pattern is formed over the substrate to serve as a mask in the implantation process for forming the buried bit-lines. Afterward, a portion of the mask pattern is removed to increase the gap size of the mask pattern, then a pocket ion implantation is performed to form a pocket doped region at the periphery of the buried bit-line by using the mask pattern as a mask. Subsequently, the mask pattern is removed and a thermal process is conducted using the trapping layer as a mask to form a buried bit-line oxide layer. A word-line is subsequently formed over the substrate.
