摘要:
Disclosed is a method for forming metal oxide dielectric layers, more particularly HfO2 dielectric layers, using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method in which a series of thin intermediate layers are formed and treated with one or more oxidizers and nitrogents before the next intermediate layer is formed on the substrate. The intermediate oxidation treatments reduce the number of organic contaminants incorporated into the metal oxide layer from the organometallic precursors to produce a dielectric layer having improved current leakage characteristics. The dielectric layers formed in this manner remain susceptible to crystallization if exposed to temperatures much above 550° C., so subsequent semiconductor manufacturing processes should be modified or eliminated to avoid such temperatures or limit the duration at such temperatures to maintain the performance of the dielectric materials.

摘要:
In a non-volatile memory device and a method of manufacturing the non-volatile memory device, a tunnel insulating layer, a charge trapping layer, a dielectric layer and a conductive layer may be sequentially formed on a channel region of a substrate. The conductive layer may be patterned to form a gate electrode and spacers may be formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode. A dielectric layer pattern, a charge trapping layer pattern, and a tunnel insulating layer pattern may be formed on the channel region by an anisotropic etching process using the spacers as an etch mask. Sidewalls of the charge trapping layer pattern may be removed by an isotropic etching process to reduce the width thereof. Thus, the likelihood of lateral diffusion of electrons may be reduced or prevented in the charge trapping layer pattern and high temperature stress characteristics of the non-volatile memory device may be improved.
