    摘要: A NAND memory array has a first dielectric layer formed on a first portion of a semiconductor substrate and a second dielectric layer formed on a second portion of the semiconductor substrate and adjoining the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is thicker than the second dielectric layer. A first gate stack is formed on the first dielectric layer to form a drain select gate. A string of second gate stacks is formed on the second dielectric layer to form a NAND string of floating-gate memory cells. A first end of the NAND string is coupled in series with the drain select gate. A third gate stack is formed on the second dielectric layer to form a source select gate. A second end of the NAND string is coupled in series with the source select gate.

    摘要: The invention includes methods of forming films over substrates. A substrate is provided within a reaction chamber, and a mixture is also provided within the chamber. The mixture comprises a precursor of a desired material within a supercritical fluid. The precursor is relatively reactive under one set of conditions and is relatively non-reactive under another set of conditions. The precursor and supercritical fluid mixture is initially provided in the chamber under the conditions at which the precursor is relatively non-reactive. Subsequently, and while maintaining the supercritical state of the supercritical fluid, the conditions within the reaction chamber are changed to the conditions under which the precursor is relatively reactive. The precursor reacts to form the desired material, and at least some of the desired material forms a film on the substrate.

    摘要: The invention includes an atomic layer deposition method of forming a layer of a deposited composition on a substrate. The method includes positioning a semiconductor substrate within an atomic layer deposition chamber. On the substrate, an intermediate composition monolayer is formed, followed by a desired deposited composition from reaction with the intermediate composition, collectively from flowing multiple different composition deposition precursors to the substrate within the deposition chamber. A material adheres to a chamber internal component surface from such sequentially forming. After such sequentially forming, a reactive gas flows to the chamber which is different in composition from the multiple different deposition precursors and which is effective to react with such adhering material. After the reactive gas flowing, such sequentially forming is repeated. Further implementations are contemplated.

The first dielectric layer and the plurality of first gate stacks formed thereon form a NAND string of memory cells of the memory array. A second gate stack is formed on a second dielectric layer that is formed on the substrate adjacent the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer with the second gate stack formed thereon forms a drain select gate adjacent an end of the NAND string. The second dielectric layer is thicker than the first dielectric layer.
