    摘要: A method of forming a gate structure can be provided by forming a tunnel insulation layer on a substrate and forming a floating gate on the tunnel insulation layer. A dielectric layer pattern can be on the floating gate and a control gate can be formed on the dielectric layer pattern, which can be provided by forming a first conductive layer pattern on the dielectric layer pattern. A metal ohmic layer pattern can be formed on the first conductive layer pattern. A diffusion preventing layer pattern can be formed on the metal ohmic layer pattern. An amorphous layer pattern can be formed on the diffusion preventing layer pattern forming a second conductive layer pattern on the amorphous layer pattern. The floating gate can be further formed by forming an additional first conductive layer pattern on the tunnel insulation layer. An additional metal ohmic layer pattern can be formed on the additional first conductive layer pattern. An additional diffusion preventing layer can be formed pattern on the additional metal ohmic layer pattern. An additional amorphous layer pattern can be formed on the additional diffusion preventing layer pattern and an additional second conductive layer pattern can be formed on the additional amorphous layer pattern.

    摘要: Disclosed are a variety of methods for increasing the relative thickness in the peripheral or edge regions of gate dielectric patterns to suppress leakage through these regions. The methods provide alternatives to conventional GPOX processes and provide the improved leakage resistance without incurring the degree of increased gate electrode resistance associated with GPOX processes. Each of the methods includes forming a first opening to expose an active area region, forming an oxidation control region on the exposed portion and then forming a second opening whereby a peripheral region free of the oxidation control region is exposed for formation of a gate dielectric layer. The resulting gate dielectric layers are characterized by a thinner central region surrounded or bounded by a thicker peripheral region.

    摘要: One embodiment of a method for forming a semiconductor device can include forming a gate pattern on a semiconductor substrate and performing a selective re-oxidation process on the gate pattern in gas ambient including hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. When the gate pattern includes a tunnel insulation layer, a metal nitride layer and a metal layer, the selective re-oxidation process heals the etching damage of a gate pattern and simultaneously prevents oxidation of the metal nitride layer and a tungsten electrode.
