    摘要: A dual node memory device and methods for fabricating the device are provided. In one embodiment the method comprises forming a layered structure with an insulator layer, a charge storage layer, a buffer layer, and a sacrificial layer on a semiconductor substrate. The layers are patterned to form two spaced apart stacks and an exposed substrate portion between the stacks. A gate insulator and a gate electrode are formed on the exposed substrate, and the sacrificial layer and buffer layer are removed. An additional insulator layer is deposited overlying the charge storage layer to form insulator-storage layer-insulator memory storage areas on each side of the gate electrode. Sidewall spacers are formed at the sidewalls of the gate electrode overlying the storage areas. Bit lines are formed in the substrate spaced apart from the gate electrode, and a word line is formed that contacts the gate electrode and the sidewall spacers.

    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a structure, for example a flash memory cell, comprises a transistor gate dielectric stack situated on a semiconductor substrate. The transistor gate dielectric stack includes a bottom oxide layer, a silicon-rich nitride layer situated on the bottom oxide layer, a low silicon-rich nitride layer situated on the silicon-rich nitride layer, and a top oxide layer situated on the low silicon-rich nitride layer. This embodiment results in a nitride based flash memory cell having improved program speed and retention while maintaining a high erase speed. In another embodiment, a flash memory cell may further comprise a high-K dielectric layer situated on the transistor gate dielectric stack.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device and a method for its fabrication are provided. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention the method comprises the steps of forming a gate insulator and a gate electrode overlying a semiconductor substrate. The gate insulator is etched to form an undercut opening beneath an edge of the gate electrode and the undercut opening is filled with a layered structure comprising a charge trapping layer sandwiched between layers of oxide and nitride. A region of the semiconductor substrate is impurity doped to form a bit line aligned with the gate electrode, and a conductive layer is deposited and patterned to form a word line coupled to the gate electrode.
