摘要:
A trench (2) is fabricated in a silicon body (1). The walls (4) of the trench are provided with a nitrogen implantation (6). An oxide layer between the source/drain regions (5) and a word line applied on the top side grows to a greater thickness than a lower oxide layer of an ONO storage layer fabricated as gate dielectric at the trench wall. Instead of the nitrogen implantation into the trench walls, it is possible to fabricate a metal silicide layer on the top sides of the source/drain regions in order to accelerate the oxide growth there.
摘要:
In the method, trenches are etched and, in between, bit lines (8) are in each case arranged on doped source/drain regions (3, 4). Storage layers (5, 6, 7) are applied and gate electrodes (2) are arranged at the trench walls. After the introduction of polysilicon, which is provided for the gate electrodes (2), into the trenches, the top side is ground back in a planarizing manner until the top side of the covering layer (16) is reached, and afterward a polysilicon layer (18), which is provided for the word lines, is applied over the whole area and patterned to form the word lines.

摘要:
An electrically conductive bit line layer is applied and patterned into portions arranged parallel to one another before the trench is etched into the semiconductor material, in which case, after the patterning of the bit line layer (3, 4) and before the etching of the trench, an implantation is introduced for the purpose of defining the position of the junctions, or, after the implantation of the n+-type well (19) for the source/drain regions, the bit line layer (3, 4) is patterned using an etching stop layer (2) arranged on the semiconductor body (1).

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a storage layer over a semiconductor body. The storage layer includes a first boundary layer, an intermediate storage layer and a second boundary layer. The storage layer is patterned so that at least some of the storage layer is removed from over a first portion of the semiconductor body and some of the storage layer is removed from over a second portion of the semiconductor body. The first portion of the semiconductor body is doped and the second portion of the semiconductor body is etched.
摘要:
In a memory cell, in a trench, a layer sequence comprising a first oxide layer, a nitride layer provided on the first oxide layer, and a second oxide layer, facing the gate electrode, and provided at the lateral trench walls, while the nitride layer is absent in a curved region of the trench bottom. In an alternative configuration, in each case at least one step is formed at the lateral walls of the trench, preferably below the source region or the drain region, respectively.
摘要:
Electrically conductive material is introduced into interspaces between the word lines (2) and is partially removed using a mask (6) in such a way that residual portions (7) of the conductive material in each case fill a section of the relevant interspace and produce an electrical contact with source/drain regions (15). With further portions of the conductive material, it is possible to form alignment marks for the fabrication process.

A non-volatile semiconductor memory (30) comprising a semiconductor substrate (1) and a plurality of memory cells (19) and methods for manufacturing such a memory is provided. Each memory cell (19) comprises a charge-trapping element (5), a gate stack (20), nitride spacers (10) and electrically insulating elements (21). The charge-trapping element (5) is arranged on the semiconductor substrate (1) and comprises a nitride layer (3) sandwiched between a bottom oxide layer (2) and a top oxide layer (4), the charge-trapping element (5) having two lateral sidewalls (24) opposed to one another. The gate stack (20) is arranged on top of the charge-trappinig element (5), the gate stack having two lateral sidewalls (25) opposing one another. The electrically insulating elements (21) are disposed at opposing sidewalls (24) of the charge-trapping element (5) and cover the sidewalls (24) of the charge-trapping element (5). The nitride spacers (10) cover the electrically insulating elements (21) and are arranged on opposing sidewalls (25) of the gate stack (20) and on the electrically insulating elements (21).
