    摘要: The technique capable of reducing the power consumption in the MISFET by suppressing the scattering of the carriers due to the fixed charges is provided. A silicon oxynitride film with a physical thickness of 1.5 nm or more and the relative dielectric constant of 4.1 or higher is formed at the interface between a semiconductor substrate and an alumina film. By so doing, a gate insulator composed of the silicon oxynitride film and the alumina film is constituted. The silicon oxynitride film is formed by performing a thermal treatment of a silicon oxide film formed on the semiconductor substrate in a NO or N2O atmosphere. In this manner, the fixed charges in the silicon oxynitride film are set to 5×1012 cm−2 or less, and the fixed charges in the interface between the silicon oxynitride film and the alumina film are set to 5×1012 cm−2 or more.

    摘要: Performance and reliability of a semiconductor device including a non-volatile memory are improved. A memory cell of the non-volatile memory includes, over an upper portion of a semiconductor substrate, a select gate electrode formed via a first dielectric film and a memory gate electrode formed via a second dielectric film formed of an ONO multilayered film having a charge storing function. The first dielectric film functions as a gate dielectric film, and includes a third dielectric film made of silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride and a metal-element-containing layer made of a metal oxide or a metal silicate formed between the select gate electrode and the third dielectric film. A semiconductor region positioned under the memory gate electrode and the second dielectric film has a charge density of impurities lower than that of a semiconductor region positioned under the select gate electrode and the first dielectric film.

    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: A MISFET includes: a p type substrate having a channel region with an impurity concentration C; an insulating film made of SiO2 and formed on the channel region; and an insulating film made of HfSiON and formed on the gate insulating film. When there is a postulated MISFET including a postulated substrate having a channel region with the impurity concentration C and made of a material identical to the substrate and an insulating film made solely of SiON formed on the channel region, said impurity concentration C of channel region is set so that a maximum value of mobility of electrons in said channel region is higher than a maximum value of mobility of electrons in the postulated channel region. Thus, the power supply voltage can be reduced and the power consumption can be reduced.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit in which the storage capacitor has an increased capacitance and a decreased leakage current. The storage capacitor is formed by the steps of: forming a polysilicon bottom electrode having semispherical silicon crystals formed thereon; performing plasma nitriding on the surface of said bottom electrode at a temperature lower than 550° C., thereby forming a film of silicon nitride having a film thickness smaller than 1.5 nm; and depositing a film of amorphous tantalum pentoxide and then crystallizing said amorphous tantalum pentoxide. The silicon nitride film has improved resistance to oxidation and also has a reduced leakage current. As a result, the polysilicon bottom electrode becomes resistant to oxidation and the storage capacitor increases in capacitance and decreases in leakage current.
