Description

Method for forming NOR FLASH
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a forming method of NOR FLASH.
Background
Flash memory has been widely used as the best choice for non-volatile memory applications due to its advantages of high density, low price, electrical programmability, and easy erasure. At present, the flash memory unit is mainly carried out at a 65 nanometer technology node, and with the requirement on a high-capacity flash memory, the number of chips on each silicon chip is reduced by utilizing the node in the prior art. Meanwhile, with the increasing maturity of new technology nodes, flash memory cells are also urged to be produced by high-node technology. This means that the size of the flash memory cell needs to be reduced, however, reducing the width of the active area and the length of the channel of the flash memory cell affects the performance of the flash memory cell.
The current lateral scaling from 65nm NOR FLASH to 55nm NOR FLASH, and thus to 50nm NOR FLASH, is primarily achieved by scaling down the active area of the FLASH memory cell, and by scaling down the distance between the active area and the active area. The conventional floating gate is mainly performed by Fowerll-Norhei (Fowler-Nordheim) tunneling in a channel mode, and depends on the effective areas of the floating gate and the flash memory cell. Due to the reduced area, the number of silicon dioxide silicon energy valleys generated by phosphorus doping contained in the silicon dioxide interface between the floating gate and the flash memory oxide layer in each flash memory unit is reduced, so that the erasing uniformity is reduced.
