摘要:
An EEPROM in which a memory cell is constituted by a floating gate electrode, a control gate electrode, a first semiconductor region provided in a main surface portion of the semiconductor substrate on an end side of the gate electrodes to which the data line is connected, and a second semiconductor region provided in a different main surface portion of the semiconductor substrate on an opposing end side of the gate electrodes to which the grounding line is connected. The drain is used differently depending upon the operations for writing the data, reading the data and erasing the data. The impurity concentration in the first semiconductor region is selected to be lower than that of the second semiconductor region, in order to improve writing and erasing characteristics as well as to increase the reading speed.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory device having nonvolatile memory cells each formed of a MISFET having both a floating gate and a control gate and first and second semiconductor regions serving as the source and drain regions, respectively. In accordance with the method of manufacture thereof, an impurity, for example, arsenic, is introduced to form both the first and second semiconductor regions but with the second semiconductor region having a lower dose thereof so that the first semiconductor region formed attains a junction depth greater than that of the second semiconductor region, and both the first and second semiconductor regions have portions thereof extending under the floating gate electrode. The device and method therefor further feature the formation of MISFETs of peripheral circuits.

By this method, an impurity, for example, arsenic, is introduced to form both the first and second semiconductor regions but, however, a lower dose of arsenic is introduced in the formation of the second semiconductor region. The first semiconductor region is formed to have a junction depth greater than that of the second semiconductor region, and both the first and second semiconductor regions have portions thereof extending under the floating gate electrode. Carriers stored in the floating gate electrode are transferred between the floating gate electrode and the first semiconductor region by tunneling through the insulating film beneath the floating gate electrode. The method further features the formation of MISFETs of peripheral circuits.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device having nonvolatile memory cells of a single-element type. The method provides for the formation of a floating gate electrode insulatedly on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate and a control gate electrode on the floating gate via a second gate insulating film. Also by this method, an impurity, for example, arsenic, is introduced in self-alignment with the pair of opposing end sides of the control gate electrode to form both the first and second semiconductor regions but, however, a lower dose of arsenic is introduced in the formation of the second semiconductor region. In accordance with the scheme, the first semiconductor region is formed to have a junction depth greater than the junction depth associated with the second semiconductor region and both the first and second semiconductor regions have portions thereof extending under the floating gate electrode. Moreover, carriers which are stored in the floating gate electrode are transferred therefrom to the first semiconductor region, for example, during an erase operation of the memory, by tunneling through the insulating film beneath the floating gate electrode. The method also calls for the formation of MISFETs associated with peripheral circuitry of the memory.
