摘要:
Transistor structures, with one source/drain region connected to a charge storage device to be insulated includes an asymmetric gate conductor structure. At a first side wall, which faces the one source/drain region, the asymmetric gate conductor structure has a side wall oxide with a greater thickness and a bird's beak structure with a greater length than at an opposite, second side wall. An effective channel length is increased for the same feature size of the gate conductor structure. Memory cells can be realized in a higher density.

The present invention provides a fabrication method for a semiconductor structure and a corresponding semiconductor structure. The fabrication method comprises the following steps: provision of a semiconductor substrate (1) with a gate dielectric (5); provision of a plurality of multilayered, elongate gate stacks (GS1; GS2) which essentially run parallel to one another on the gate dielectric (5), which gate stacks have a bottommost layer (10) made of silicon; provision of a first liner layer (60) made of a first material over the gate stacks (GS1; GS2) and the gate dielectric (5) uncovered beside the latter, the thickness (h) of which liner layer is less than a thickness (h′) of the bottommost layer (10) made of silicon; provision of sidewall spacers (70) made of a second material on the vertical sidewalls of the gate stacks (GS1; GS2) over the first liner layer (60), a region of the first liner layer (60) over the gate dielectric (5) between the gate stacks (GS1; GS2) remaining free; selective removal of the first liner layer (60) with respect to the sidewall spacers (70) for the purpose of laterally uncovering the bottommost layer (10) made of silicon of the gate stacks (GS1; GS2); and selective oxidation of the uncovered bottommost layer (10) for the purpose of forming sidewall oxide regions (50′) on the gate stacks (GS1; GS2).

A method of formation of contacts with cobalt silicide since is disclosed. For example, after siliciding with the SOM solution, both unreacted sections of the deposition layer including, for example, cobalt as initial layer for the siliciding and an oxidation protection layer including titanium and deposited by means of cathode beam sputtering, for instance, may be removed rapidly and with high selectivity relative to the cobalt silicide and other, densified metal structures and metal layers.

A silicide layer is formed on the surface of the at least one structured area, the silicide layer comprising at least one of titan silicide, titan nitride silicide and cobalt silicide.
摘要:
Silicon nanocrystals are applied as storage layer (6) and removed using spacer elements (11) laterally with respect to the gate electrode (5). By means of an implantation of dopant, source/drain regions (2) are fabricated in a self-aligned manner with respect to the storage layer (6). The portions of the storage layer (6) are interrupted by the gate electrode (5) and the gate dielectric (4), so that a central portion of the channel region (3) is not covered by the storage layer (6). This memory cell is suitable as a multi-bit flash memory cell in a virtual ground architecture.
