摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an ONO film that is provided on the semiconductor substrate and has a contact hole, and an interlayer insulating film that is provided directly on the ONO film and contains phosphorus. The interlayer insulating film contains 4.5 wt % of phosphorus or more in an interface portion that interfaces with the ONO film. The interlayer insulating film comprises a first portion that contacts the ONO film, and a second portion provided on the first portion. The first portion has a phosphorus concentration more than that of the second portion.

The present invention facilitates dual bit memory devices and operation of dual bit memory device by providing systems and methods that employ a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner during fabrication, instead of a relatively thick TEOS layer that is conventionally used. Employment of the relatively thin liner facilitates dual bit memory device operation by mitigating charge loss and contact resistance while providing protection against unwanted dopant diffusion. The present invention includes utilizing a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner that is formed on wordlines and portions of a charge trapping dielectric layer. The relatively thin undoped TEOS liner is formed with a thickness of less than about 400 Angstroms so that contact resistance and charge loss are improved and yet providing suitable protection for operation of the device. Additionally, the present invention includes foregoing with an undoped TEOS liner altogether.

Semiconductor devices with improved data retention are formed by depositing an undoped oxide liner on spaced apart transistors followed by in situ deposition of a BPSG layer. Embodiments include depositing an undoped silicon oxide liner derived from TEOS, as at a thickness of 400 Å to 600 Å, on transistors of a non-volatile semiconductor device, as by sub-atmospheric chemical vapor deposition, followed by depositing the BPSG layer in the same deposition chamber.

An exemplary embodiment relates to a method for forming a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The method includes providing a substrate having a gate formed above the substrate and performing at least one of the following depositing steps: depositing a spacer layer and forming a spacer around a gate and gate insulator located above a layer of silicon above the substrate; depositing an etch stop layer above the spacer, the gate, and the layer of silicon; and depositing a dielectric layer above the etch stop layer. At least one of the depositing a spacer layer, depositing an etch stop layer, and depositing a dielectric layer comprises high compression deposition which increases in tensile strain in the layer of silicon.

A system and method are disclosed for processing an organic memory cell. An exemplary system can employ an enclosed processing chamber, a passive layer formation component operative to form a passive layer on a first electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer formation component operative to form an organic semiconductor layer on the passive layer. A wafer substrate is not needed to transfer from a passive layer formation system to an organic semiconductor layer formation system. The passive layer is not exposed to air after formation of the passive layer and before formation of the organic semiconductor layer. As a result, conductive impurities caused by the exposure to air do not occur in the thin film layer, thus improving productivity, quality, and reliability of organic memory devices. The system can further employ a second electrode formation component operative to form a second electrode on the organic semiconductor layer.

For forming an IC (integrated circuit) structure over a conductive surface, a hard-mask is deposited on the conductive surface with a low temperature in a range of from about 220° Celsius to about 320° Celsius for minimized formation of hillocks. Generally, formation of hillocks and bubbles from deposition of the hard-mask are minimized on the conductive surface. The hard-mask is etched away from the conductive surface, and the IC structure is formed over the conductive surface after the hard-mask is etched away.
