    摘要: Methods of manufacturing non-volatile memory devices are disclosed which may at least partially cure etch damage and may at least partially remove defect sites in gate structures of the devices caused during manufacturing of the devices. An exemplary method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory device includes forming a gate structure on a substrate, the gate structure including a control gate electrode, a blocking layer pattern, a floating gate electrode, and a tunnel insulating layer pattern. An oxidation process is performed that at least partially cures damage caused to the substrate and to the gate structure during formation of the gate structure. A first heat treatment is performed under a gas atmosphere including nitrogen to at least partially remove defect sites on the gate structure caused by the oxidation process. A second heat treatment is performed under a gas atmosphere including chlorine to at least partially remove remaining defect sites on the gate structure caused by the oxidation process.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory device employing a relatively thin polysilicon layer as a floating gate is disclosed, wherein a tunnel oxide layer is formed on a substrate and a polysilicon layer having a thickness of about 35 Å to about 200 Å is then formed on the tunnel oxide layer using a trisilane (Si3H8) gas as a silicon source gas. The tunnel oxide layer and the polysilicon layer are then patterned into a tunnel oxide layer pattern and a polysilicon layer pattern, respectively. A dielectric layer and a conductive layer corresponding to a control gate are subsequently formed on the polysilicon layer pattern. The polysilicon layer is formed using trisilane (Si3H8) gas as a result of which the polysilicon layer may be formed to have a relatively thin thickness while maintaining a thickness uniformity and realizing a superior morphology thus producing a floating gate having enhanced performance.

    摘要: Nonvolatile memory devices and related methods of fabricating nonvolatile memory devices are disclosed. A nonvolatile memory device includes a tunnel insulation film on a semiconductor substrate, a charge-trapping layer on the tunnel insulation film, a block insulation film on the charge-trapping layer, and a gate electrode on the blocking insulation film. The blocking insulation film includes a stacked film structure of a high-dielectric film and a barrier insulation film. The high-dielectric film has a first potential barrier relative to the charge-trapping layer. The barrier insulation film has a second potential barrier relative to the charge-trapping layer which is higher than the first potential barrier. The blocking insulation film has a thickness in a range of about 5 Å to about 15 Å.

    摘要: Methods of forming integrated circuit capacitors include the steps of forming a first electrically insulating layer having a conductive plug therein, on a semiconductor substrate, and then forming second and third electrically insulating layers of different materials on the first electrically insulating layer. A contact hole is then formed to extend through the second and third electrically insulating layers and expose the conductive plug. Next, a conductive layer is formed in the contact hole and on the third electrically insulating layer. A step is then performed to planarize the conductive layer to define a U-shaped electrode in the contact hole. The third electrically insulating layer is then etched-back to expose upper portions of outer sidewalls of the U-shaped electrode, using the second electrically insulating layer as an etch stop layer. However, the second electrically insulating layer is not removed but is left to act as a supporting layer for the U-shaped electrode. This second electrically insulating layer preferably comprises a composite of a nitride layer and an oxide layer. To increase the effective surface area of the U-shaped electrode, an HSG layer may also be formed on the inner and outer sidewalls of the U-shaped electrode.
