    摘要: Performance of a non-volatile semiconductor storage device which performs electron writing by hot electrons and hole erasure by hot holes is improved. A non-volatile memory cell which performs a writing operation by electrons and an erasure operation by holes has a p-type well region, isolation regions, a source region, and a drain region provided on an Si substrate. A control gate electrode is formed via a gate insulating film between the source region and the drain region. In a left-side side wall of the control gate electrode, a bottom Si oxide film, an electric charge holding film, a top Si oxide film, and a memory gate electrode are formed. The electric charge holding film is formed from an Si nitride film stoichiometrically excessively containing silicon.

    摘要: A charge storage layer interposed between a memory gate electrode and a semiconductor substrate is formed shorter than a gate length of the memory gate electrode or a length of insulating films so as to make the overlapping amount of the charge storage layer and a source region to be less than 40 nm. Therefore, in the write state, since the movement in the transverse direction of the electrons and the holes locally existing in the charge storage layer decreases, the variation of the threshold voltage when holding a high temperature can be reduced. In addition, the effective channel length is made to be 30 nm or less so as to reduce an apparent amount of holes so that coupling of the electrons with the holes in the charge storage layer decreases; therefore, the variation of the threshold voltage when holding at room temperature can be reduced.

    摘要: An erase method where a corner portion on which an electric field concentrates locally is provided on the memory gate electrode, and charges in the memory gate electrode are injected into a charge trap film in a gate dielectric with Fowler-Nordheim tunneling operation is used. Since current consumption at the time of erase can be reduced by the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, a power supply circuit area of a memory module can be reduced. Since write disturb resistance can be improved, a memory array area can be reduced by adopting a simpler memory array configuration. Owing to both the effects, an area of the memory module can be largely reduced, so that manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, since charge injection centers of write and erase coincide with each other, so that (program and erase) endurance is improved.

    摘要: An operation scheme for operating stably a semiconductor nonvolatile memory device is provided.When hot-hole injection is conducted in the semiconductor nonvolatile memory device of a split gate structure, the hot-hole injection is verified using a crossing point that does not change with time. Thus, an erased state can be verified without being aware of any time-varying changes.Also, programming or programming/erasure is conducted by repeating pulse voltage or multi-step voltage application to a gate section multiple times.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile semiconductor memory device is provided which overcomes a problem of penetration of implanted ions due to the difference of optimal gate height in simultaneous formation of a self-align split gate type memory cell utilizing a side wall structure and a scaled MOS transistor. A select gate electrode to form a side wall in a memory area is formed to be higher than that of the gate electrode in a logic area so that the height of the side wall gate electrode of the self-align split gate memory cell is greater than that of the gate electrode in the logic area. Height reduction for the gate electrode is performed in the logic area before gate electrode formation.
