    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing band-to-band currents during the erasure of a flash EEPROM memory cell is provided. The apparatus has a back biasing connection on the substrate at which a biasing voltage is applied during erasure of the flash EEPROM memory cell. The method of applying the biasing voltage to the back biasing connection during erasure of the flash EEPROM memory cell reduces band-to-band current between the source region and the substrate during erasure of the flash memory cell. This reduction provides for gate size reduction in flash memory cells without inducing detrimental short channel effects.

The method and system includes implanting first low-dose arsenic into an area in the substrate, thermally diffusing the first low-dose arsenic through a portion of the substrate, implanting a second higher-dose arsenic into the area in the substrate, and diffusing the second higher-dose arsenic into the area in the substrate. Under the present invention, the combination of the first and second arsenic implants has a graded lateral profile which reduces band-to-band tunneling current and short-channel effects. The method also improves the reliability and performance of the semiconductor devices.

The method is appropriate for integration into a manufacturing process for integrated circuit semiconductor devices. The method utilizes selective etch processes, dependant upon the material comprising the protective layer (hard mask) over the gate and the material of the spacers, e.g., oxide mask/nitride spacers, or nitride mask/oxide spacers.
