    摘要: An array of charge-trapping multi-bit memory cells is arranged in a virtual-ground NAND architecture. The memory cells are erased by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of electrons into the memory layers. The write operation is effected by hot hole injection. A write voltage is applied by a bitline to two NAND chains in series. The subsequent bitline on the side of the memory cell to be programmed is maintained on floating potential, whereas the bitline on the other side is set to an inhibit voltage, which is provided to inhibit a program disturb of an addressed memory cell which is not to be programmed. This virtual-ground NAND architecture of charge-trapping memory cells enables an increased storage density.

    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating stacked non-volatile memory cells. A semiconductor wafer is provided having a plurality of diffusion regions forming buried bit lines. A charge-trapping layer and a conductive layer are deposited on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Using a mask layer on top of the conductive layer, contact holes are formed wherein an insulating layer is formed. An etch stop layer is deposited on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Above the etch stop layer, a dielectric layer is deposited and is patterned so as to form contact holes. Subsequently, the contact holes are enlarged through the etch stop layer and the insulating layer to the buried bit lines.

    摘要: To manufacture a memory device, a gate dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor body and a gate electrode layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer. The gate electrode layer is structured to form a gate electrode with sidewalls. An etching process is performed to remove parts of the gate dielectric layer from beneath the gate electrode on opposite sides of the gate electrode. Boundary layers, e.g., oxide layers, are formed on an upper surface of the semiconductor body and a lower surface of the gate electrode adjacent where the gate dielectric has been removed thereby leaving spaces. Charge-trapping layer material can then be deposited to fill the spaces. Source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body adjacent the gate electrode.
