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, which ensures device reliability especially in fine regions and enables great capacitance and high-speed operations, has memory cells including, in a first region of a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating film, a floating gate electrode, an interlayer insulating film, a control gate electrode, and source and drain regions of the second conduction type arranged in a matrix, with a shallow isolation structure for isolating the memory cells. When using a shallow structure buried with an insulating film for element isolation, the isolation withstand voltage in fine regions can be prevented from lowering and the variation in threshold level of selective transistors can be reduced. When the memory cells in a memory mat are divided by means of selective transistors, the disturb resistance of the memory cells can be improved.
