摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) fabricated to reduce short channel effects. The MOSFET includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate stack formed above the semiconductor substrate, a drain side sidewall spacer formed on a drain side of the gate stack, a source side sidewall spacer formed on a source side of the gate stack, and source and drain regions. The source region is formed in the semiconductor substrate on the source side, and is aligned by the source side sidewall spacer to extend an effective channel length between the source region and drain region. The drain region is formed on the drain side in the semiconductor substrate, and is aligned by drain side sidewall spacer to further extend the effective channel length.

A memory device includes a cell stack and a select gate formed adjacent to the cell stack. The cell stack includes a tunneling dielectric layer, a charge storage layer, a blocking dielectric layer, and a control gate. Applying a positive bias to the control gate, the select gate and the source of the device injects negative charges from a channel region of a substrate by hot electron injection through the tunneling dielectric layer at a location near a gap between the select gate and the control gate into the charge storage layer to store negative charges in the charge storage layer. Applying a negative bias to the control gate directly tunnels positive charges from the channel region of the substrate through the tunneling dielectric layer and into the charge storage layer to store positive charges in the charge storage layer.

Substrate isolation regions (570) initially protrude upward above a semiconductor substrate (520) but are later etched down. Before they are etched down, floating gate layer (590) is deposited and etched or polished off the top surfaces of the substrate isolation regions. The floating gate layer thus has upward protrusions overlying sidewalls of the substrate isolation regions. When the substrate isolation regions are etched down, the floating gate layer's upward protrusions' outer sidewalls become exposed. The upward protrusions serve to increase the capacitance between the floating and control gates. The floating gates' bottom surfaces are restricted to the active areas (564) not to overlie the substrate isolation regions. Other features are also provided.

In a NAND-type nonvolatile reprogrammable memory array, inter-cell coupling resistance between adjoining memory cells is reducing by forming metal silicide insets embedded in the diffusion zone of the inter-cell coupling region. The diffusion zone includes a shallow implant region and a deep implant region. In one embodiment, the shallow implant region defines shallow source/drain regions for floating gate transistors of the memory cells. The size of the metal silicide insets are controlled to not compromise isolation PN junctions defined by the shallow and deep implant region. In one embodiment, the metal silicide insets include nickel.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having improved short channel effects is disclosed. The method includes operations such as, forming a hard mask layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, printing a photoresist mask above the hard mask layer, performing an etch of trenches in the semiconductor substrate and removing the hard mask layer and the photoresist mask. Moreover, the method includes forming a first polysilicon layer, etching the first polysilicon layer, forming a spacer layer and forming a second polysilicon layer. In addition, the method includes performing a stacked gate etch on the second polysilicon layer, performing an SAS etch, performing a shallow source implant and forming the spacer between the first polysilicon layer and the second polysilicon layer. A silicide line is subsequently formed to connect device source regions.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a metal oxide semiconductor. A gate structure of the metal oxide semiconductor is etched. A nitrogen-comprising gas, which may be NO or N2O, is made to flow over the metal oxide semiconductor. A pre-implant film is grown over the edges of the gate structure. The pre-implant film may repair damage to a gate stack edge caused by an etching process. The film may be substantially silicon nitride. Beneficially, such a film may be thinner than a conventional silica oxide film. A thinner film does not deleteriously contribute to non-uniformities in a tunnel oxide. A non-uniform tunnel oxide may result in a non-uniform field between a gate and a channel. Non-uniform fields may have numerous deleterious effects. Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention overcome prior art deficiencies in repairing gate stack edge defects. In this novel manner, gate stack edge defects may be physically repaired without deleterious consequences to the electrical behavior of a metal oxide semiconductor device. The novel application of silicon nitride to this application allows thin repair layers to be grown. Advantageously, semiconductors manufactured using embodiments of the present invention may utilize smaller process feature sizes, resulting in denser arrays of semiconductor devices, resulting in lower costs for such devices and realizing a competitive advantage to practitioners of the improvements in the arts herein described.

One aspect of the invention relates to a virtual ground array floating gate flash memory device with salicided buried bit lines. The bit lines are implanted and salicided after formation of memory cell stacks, but before formation of word lines. The salicide can form over control gates for the memory cells and can contact a third poly layer from which the word lines are patterned. According to another aspect of the invention, an interpoly dielectric coats the sides of the floating gates and significantly improves the capacitance between the floating gate and the memory cell channel. The present invention provides very compact and reliable non-volatile memory.

The present invention makes use of ion bombardment to amorphize the source and drain regions of a short channel FET prior to implanting. The source/drain implants are then localized to a shallow depth by appropriate choice of implanting conditions, typically employing rather low bombardment voltages of approximately 10 KeV. Amorphous source/drain regions substantially hinder the diffusion of source/drain dopants and thereby reduce the possibility of punchthrough and loss of FET function. Such devices are preferably used in NAND type flash memory devices maintaining proper self-boosting voltages and FET functions even when short channel lengths are employed.
