摘要:
A non-volatile semiconductor memory device with good write/erase characteristics is provided. A selection gate is formed on a p-type well of a semiconductor substrate via a gate insulator, and a memory gate is formed on the p-type well via a laminated film composed of a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, and a silicon oxide film. The memory gate is adjacent to the selection gate via the laminated film. In the regions on both sides of the selection gate and the memory gate in the p-type well, n-type impurity diffusion layers serving as the source and drain are formed. The region controlled by the selection gate and the region controlled by the memory gate located in the channel region between said impurity diffusion layers have the different charge densities of the impurity from each other.

On an insulating film (41) in which a plug (43) as a lower electrode is embedded, a laminated layer pattern of an insulating film (51) made of tantalum oxide, a recording layer (52) made of Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced and an upper electrode film (53) made of tungsten or tungsten alloy is formed, thereby forming a phase change memory. By interposing the insulating film (51) between the recording layer (52) and the plug (43), an effect of reducing programming current of a phase change memory and an effect of preventing peeling of the recording layer (52) can be achieved. Further, by using the Ge—Sb—Te based chalcogenide to which indium is introduced as the recording layer (52), the difference in work function between the insulating film (51) and the recording layer (52) is increased, and the programming voltage of the phase change memory can be reduced.
摘要:
A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same with easy formation of a phase change film is realized, realizing high integration and using a phase change film as a memory element. Between a MISFET of a region forming one memory cell and an adjoining MISFET, each MISFET source adjoins in the front surface of an insulating semiconductor substrate. A multi-layer structure of a phase change film and electric conduction film of specific resistance lower than the specific resistance is formed in plan view of the front surface of a semiconductor substrate ranging over each source of both MISFETs, and a plug is stacked thereon. The multi-layer structure functions as a wiring extending and existing in parallel on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and an electric conduction film sends current in a parallel direction on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
Manufacturing processes for phase change memory have suffered from the problem of chalcogenide material being susceptible to delamination, since this material exhibits low adhesion to high melting point metals and silicon oxide films. Furthermore, chalcogenide material has low thermal stability and hence tends to sublime during the manufacturing process of phase change memory. According to the present invention, conductive or insulative adhesive layers are formed over and under the chalcogenide material layer to enhance its delamination strength. Further, a protective film made up of a nitride film is formed on the sidewalls of the chalcogenide material layer to prevent sublimation of the chalcogenide material layer.

A phase change memory is formed of a plug buried within a through-hole in an insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate, an interface layer formed on the insulating film in which the plug is buried, a recording layer formed of a chalcogenide layer formed on the interface layer, and an upper contact electrode formed on the recording layer. The recording layer storing information according to resistance value change is made of chalcogenide material containing indium in an amount range from 20 atomic % to 38 atomic %, germanium in a range from 9 atomic % to 28 atomic %, antimony in a range from 3 atomic % to 18 atomic %, and tellurium in a range from 42 atomic % to 63 atomic %, where the content of germanium larger than or equal to the content of antimony.
摘要:
In a phase-change memory, an interface layer is inserted between a chalcogenide material layer and a plug. The interface layer is arranged so as not to cover the entire interface of a plug-like electrode. When the plug is formed at an upper part than the chalcogenide layer, the degree of integration is increased. The interface layer is formed by carrying out sputtering using an oxide target, or, by forming a metal film by carrying out sputtering using a metal target followed by oxidizing the metal film in an oxidation atmosphere such as oxygen radical, oxygen plasma, etc.
