摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a floating gate of a non-volatile semiconductor memory, a pattern is formed on a substrate to have an opening that exposes a portion of the substrate. A first preliminary polysilicon layer is formed on the pattern and the exposed portion of the substrate to substantially fill the opening. A first polysilicon layer is formed by partially etching the first preliminary polysilicon layer until a first void formed in the first preliminary polysilicon layer is exposed. A second polysilicon layer is formed on the first polysilicon layer.

A method of forming a floating gate of a non-volatile memory device can include etching a mask pattern formed between field isolation regions in a field isolation pattern on a substrate to recess a surface of the mask pattern below an upper surface of adjacent field isolation regions to form an opening having a width defined by a side wall of the adjacent field isolation regions above the surface. Then the adjacent field isolation regions is etched to increase the width of the opening.

A semiconductor device having reduced pitting may be formed from isolation layer patterns on a semiconductor substrate defining an active region, a tunnel oxide layer on the active region, the tunnel oxide layer having a nitrified surface, a floating gate on the tunnel oxide layer, a dielectric layer on the floating gate, and a control gate on the dielectric layer.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a method of forming a gate structure for a semiconductor device includes forming a preliminary gate structure on a semiconductor substrate. The preliminary gate structure includes a gate oxide pattern and a conductive pattern sequentially stacked on the substrate. Then, a re-oxidation process is performed to the substrate having the preliminary gate structure using an oxygen radical including at least one oxygen atom, so that an oxide layer is formed on a surface of the substrate and sidewalls of the preliminary gate structure to form the gate structure for a semiconductor device. The thickness of the gate oxide pattern is prevented from increasing, and the quality of the oxide layer is improved.

Methods of forming a gate structure of a non-volatile memory device include forming a gate pattern having a control gate on a semiconductor substrate. An oxidation-preventing layer is formed on the control gate in a process chamber while maintaining a substantially oxygen free atmosphere in the process chamber. An oxide spacer is formed on a sidewall of the gate pattern with the oxidation-preventing layer thereon in the process chamber. Forming an oxidation-preventing layer may include exposing the gate pattern to a first gas in the process chamber and forming an oxide spacer may include exposing the gate pattern to a second gas including oxygen in the process chamber.
