    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a structure, for example a flash memory cell, comprises a transistor gate dielectric stack situated on a semiconductor substrate. The transistor gate dielectric stack includes a bottom oxide layer, a silicon-rich nitride layer situated on the bottom oxide layer, a low silicon-rich nitride layer situated on the silicon-rich nitride layer, and a top oxide layer situated on the low silicon-rich nitride layer. This embodiment results in a nitride based flash memory cell having improved program speed and retention while maintaining a high erase speed. In another embodiment, a flash memory cell may further comprise a high-K dielectric layer situated on the transistor gate dielectric stack.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device forms a trench of a trench isolation region in a portion of a top surface of a semiconductor substrates. Oxide is deposited as a trench liner in the trench using high temperature high density plasma (HDP) deposition. As the high temperature HDP oxide deposition is a stress neutral process, stress defects in an interface between the silicon substrate and the oxide layer are avoided, so that subsequent etching steps in a local interconnect process are less likely to overreach at the interface. This reduces the possibility of junction leakage when the local interconnect is formed.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device forms a trench of a trench isolation region in a portion of a top surface of a semiconductor substrate. Oxide is deposited as a trench liner in the trench using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) high temperature oxidation (HTO). As LPCVD is a stress neutral process, stress defects in an interface between the silicon substrate and the oxide layer are avoided, so that subsequent etching steps in a local interconnect process are less likely to overetch at the interface. This reduces the possibility of junction leakage when the local interconnect is formed.
