摘要： A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device configured by a select MOS transistor provided with a gate insulator film and a select gate electrode, as well as a memory MOS transistor provided with a capacitor insulator film comprising a lower potential barrier film, a charge trapping film, and an upper potential barrier film, as well as a memory gate electrode. The charge trapping film is formed with a silicon oxynitride film and the upper potential barrier film is omitted or its thickness is limited to 1 nm and under to prevent the Gm degradation to be caused by the silicon oxynitride film, thereby lowering the erasure gate voltage. The charge trapping film is formed with a silicon oxynitride film used as a main charge trapping film and a silicon nitride film formed on or beneath the silicon oxynitride film so as to form a potential barrier effective only for holes. And, a hot-hole erasing method is employed to lower the erasure voltage.

摘要： Disclosed is a semiconductor device (e.g., nonvolatile semiconductor memory device) and method of forming the device. The device includes a gate electrode (e.g., floating gate electrode) having a first layer of an amorphous silicon film, or a polycrystalline silicon thin film or a film of a combination of amorphous and polycrystalline silicon, on the gate insulating film. Where the film includes polycrystalline silicon, the thickness of the film is less than 10 nm. A thicker polycrystalline silicon film can be provided on or overlying the first layer. The memory device can increase the write/erase current significantly without increasing the low electric field leakage current after application of stresses, which in turn reduces write/erase time substantially. In forming the semiconductor device, a thin amorphous or polycrystalline silicon film can be provided on the gate insulating film, and a thin insulating film provided on the amorphous silicon film, with a thicker polycrystalline silicon film provided on or overlying the thin insulating film. Where the thin silicon film is amorphous silicon, it can then be polycrystallized, although it need not be. Also disclosed is a technique for selective crystallization of amorphous silicon layers, based upon layer thickness.

摘要： Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a charge storage capacitor having a storage electrode which is electrically connected to a switching transistor through a contact hole provided in an insulator and which has a greater film thickness than the radius of the contact hole, at least a part of the storage electrode being disposed above a data line. It is possible to reduce the memory cell area while preventing lowering in the capacitance, and thus realize high density and high integration of semiconductor devices.

摘要： There is provided a semiconductor device configured as follows. On a semiconductor substrate, a titanium oxide film which is an insulating film having a higher dielectric constant than that of a silicon dioxide film is formed as a gate insulating film, and a gate electrode is disposed thereon, resulting in a field effect transistor. The end portions in the gate length direction of the titanium oxide film are positioned inwardly from the respective end portions on the source side and on the drain side of the gate electrode, and the end portions of the titanium oxide film are positioned in a region in which the gate electrode overlaps with the source region and the drain region in plan configuration. This semiconductor device operates at a high speed, and is excellent in short channel characteristics and driving current. Further, in the semiconductor device, the amount of metallic elements introduced into a silicon substrate is small.
