    摘要: Charge-trapping regions are arranged beneath lower edges of the gate electrode separate from one another. Source/drain regions are formed in self-aligned manner with respect to the charge-trapping regions by means of a doping process at low energy in order to form shallow junctions laterally extending only a small distance beneath the charge-trapping regions. The self-alignment ensures a large number of program-erase cycles with high effectiveness and good data retention, because the locations of the injections of charge carriers of opposite signs are narrowly and exactly defined.

    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.

    摘要: A semiconductor product includes, a substrate with a first dielectric layer having contact hole fillings for contacting active areas in the substrate. A second dielectric layer with contact holes is provided therein. The contact holes have a width in a first lateral direction. The product further includes conductive lines, each conductive line passing over contact holes in the second dielectric layer and contacting a plurality of contact hole fillings in the first dielectric layer. The conductive lines have a width, in the first lateral direction, that is smaller than the width of the contact holes of the second dielectric layer. The conductive lines are in direct mechanical contact with the contact hole fillings and thereby remove the need to provide any conventional “contact to interconnect” structures.

    摘要: An array of charge-trapping multi-bit memory cells is arranged in a virtual-ground NAND architecture. The memory cells are erased by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of electrons into the memory layers. The write operation is effected by hot hole injection. A write voltage is applied by a bitline to two NAND chains in series. The subsequent bitline on the side of the memory cell to be programmed is maintained on floating potential, whereas the bitline on the other side is set to an inhibit voltage, which is provided to inhibit a program disturb of an addressed memory cell which is not to be programmed. This virtual-ground NAND architecture of charge-trapping memory cells enables an increased storage density.
