摘要： Conventionally, a MONOS type nonvolatile memory is fabricated by subjecting a silicon nitride film to ISSG oxidation to form a top silicon oxide film of ONO structure. If the ISSG oxidation conditions are severe, repeats of programming/erase operation cause increase of interface state density (Dit) and electron trap density. This does not provide a sufficient value of the on current, posing a problem in that the deterioration of charge trapping properties cannot be suppressed.For the solution to the problem, the silicon nitride film is oxidized by means of a high concentration ozone gas to form the top silicon oxide film.

摘要： A MONOS nonvolatile memory of a split gate structure, wherein writing and erasing are performed by hot electrons and hot holes respectively, is prone to cause electrons not to be erased and to remain in an Si nitride film on a select gate electrode sidewall and that results in the deterioration of rewriting durability. When long time erasing is applied as a measure to solve the problem, drawbacks appear, such as the increase of a circuit area caused by the increase of the erasing current and the deterioration of retention characteristics. In the present invention, an Si nitride film is formed by the reactive plasma sputter deposition method that enables oriented deposition and the Si nitride film on a select gate electrode sidewall is removed at the time when a top Si oxide film is formed.

摘要： In order to achieve an isolation trench formation process according to the present invention in which the structure of a silicon nitride film liner can be easily controlled and to allow both of reduction of the device feature length and reduction in stress occurring in an isolation trench, the silicon nitride film liner is first deposited on the inner wall of the trench formed on a silicon substrate. The upper surface of a first embedded insulator film for filling the inside of the trench is recessed downward so as to expose an upper end portion of the silicon nitride film liner. Next, the exposed portion of the silicon nitride film liner is converted into non-silicon-nitride type insulator film, such as a silicon oxide film. A second embedded insulator film is then deposited on the upper portion of the first embedded insulator film, and the deposited surface is then planarized.
