본 발명에서는 5가지 상태가 가능한 셀로써 실제적으로는 집적도를 크게 향상시키는 효과를 얻고자 한다. 예를 들면 16가지의 서로 다른 상태를 얻기 위해 종래에는 4개의 셀이 필요하지만, 본 발명으로는 2개의 셀로서 25가지의 서로 다른 상태를 얻을 수 있다.In the present invention, as a cell capable of five states, the present invention seeks to obtain an effect of greatly improving the degree of integration. For example, four cells are conventionally required to obtain 16 different states, but in the present invention, 25 different states can be obtained as two cells.
본 발명에 적용되는 기술적 원리는 다음과 같다.The technical principle applied to the present invention is as follows.
트랜지스터의 포화 전류는 그 문턱 전압에 따라 변화한다. 따라서 문턱 전압을 변화시킬 수 있으면 서로 다른 포화 전류를 얻을 수 있고 이를 서로 다른 상태로 이용할 수 있다.The saturation current of the transistor changes with its threshold voltage. Therefore, if the threshold voltage can be changed, different saturation currents can be obtained and used in different states.
본 발명에서는 채널 상부에 서로 다른 문턱 전압을 가지는 두 개의 플로팅 게이트와 그 상부에 콘트롤 게이트를 형성하여, 두 플로팅 게이트의 프로그램 및 소거 정도와 콘트롤 게이트의 바이어스 조합으로 서로 다른 포화 전류를 얻는다.In the present invention, two floating gates having different threshold voltages on the upper channel and a control gate are formed on the upper side of the channel to obtain different saturation currents by a combination of program and erase levels of the two floating gates and a bias of the control gate.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the present invention.
도 1(a) 내지 도 1(d)는 본 발명에 따른 멀티 비트 플래쉬 메모리 셀의 제조 방법을 설명하기 위한 단면도이다.1A to 1D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of manufacturing a multi-bit flash memory cell according to the present invention.
도 1(a)를 참조하면, 반도체 기판(11) 상부에 제 1 터널 산화막(12)을 형성한 후 제 1 폴리실리콘막(13)을 형성한다. 제 1 폴리실리콘막(13) 및 제 1 터널 산화막(12)을 형성하고자 하는 제 1 플로팅 게이트의 폭으로 식각한다. 전체 구조 상부에 절연막을 형성한 후 스페이서 식각을 실시하여 제 1 폴리실리콘막(13)측벽에 스페이서(14)를 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1A, after forming the first tunnel oxide film 12 on the semiconductor substrate 11, the first polysilicon film 13 is formed. The first polysilicon layer 13 and the first tunnel oxide layer 12 are etched with the width of the first floating gate to be formed. After forming an insulating film over the entire structure, spacer etching is performed to form the spacer 14 on the side wall of the first polysilicon film 13.
도 1(b)를 참조하면, 전체 구조 상부에 제 2 터널 산화막(15)을 형성한 후 제 2 폴리실리콘막(16)을 형성한다. 이 공정에 의해 제 2 터널 산화막(15)은 제 1 폴리실리콘막(13) 및 반도체 기판(11) 상부에 형성된다. 제 2 폴리실리콘막(16)을 형성하고자 하는 제 2 플로팅 게이트의 폭으로 식각한다. 이때, 제 2 폴리실리콘막(16)은 스페이서(14)를 통해 제 1 폴리실리콘막(13) 상부에 소정의 폭으로 오버랩된다.Referring to FIG. 1B, the second tunnel oxide layer 15 is formed on the entire structure, and then the second polysilicon layer 16 is formed. By this process, the second tunnel oxide film 15 is formed over the first polysilicon film 13 and the semiconductor substrate 11. The second polysilicon layer 16 is etched with the width of the second floating gate to be formed. In this case, the second polysilicon film 16 overlaps the upper portion of the first polysilicon film 13 by a predetermined width through the spacer 14.
도 1(c)를 참조하면, 전체 구조 상부에 유전체막(17)을 형성한 후 제 3 폴리실리콘막(18)을 형성한다. 제 3 폴리실리콘막(18), 유전체막(17), 제 2 폴리실리콘막(16) 및 터널 산화막을 패터닝하여 콘트롤 게이트, 제 1 및 제 2 플로팅 게이트가 적층된 스택 게이트 구조를 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1C, after forming the dielectric film 17 over the entire structure, the third polysilicon film 18 is formed. The third polysilicon film 18, the dielectric film 17, the second polysilicon film 16, and the tunnel oxide film are patterned to form a stack gate structure in which the control gate, the first and the second floating gate are stacked.
도 1(d)는 형성된 콘트롤 게이트 및 플로팅 게이트를 마스크로 셀 소오스/드레인 이온 주입 공정을 자기정렬 방식으로 실시하여 소오스(19) 및 드레인(20)을 형성한다.FIG. 1D illustrates a cell source / drain ion implantation process using a formed control gate and a floating gate as a mask to form a source 19 and a drain 20.
상기와 같은 방법으로 제조되는 멀티 비트 플래쉬 메모리 셀의 구동 방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.A driving method of a multi-bit flash memory cell manufactured by the above method will be described below.
1. 프로그램 및 소거1. Program and erase
프로그램시에는 F-N 터널링과 핫 캐리어 인젝션을 조합하여 실행한다. 즉 트레인쪽 플로팅 게이트의 프로그램 또는 소거 여부에 따라 제 1 플로팅 게이트(소오스쪽 플로팅 게이트)에 주입되는 핫 캐리어의 양이 달라지므로 서로 다른 문턱 전압을 가지게 된다.The programming is performed by combining F-N tunneling and hot carrier injection. That is, since the amount of hot carriers injected into the first floating gate (source floating gate) varies according to whether the train-side floating gate is programmed or erased, the gate floating gate has different threshold voltages.
일괄 소거시에는 기판을 플로팅시킨 상태에서 콘트롤 게이트에 -12V 정도의 고전압을 인가하고, 원하는 플로팅 게이트쪽의 비트라인에 5V 정도를 인가하여 F-N 터널링을 이용하여 소거한다.In the case of batch erasing, a high voltage of about -12V is applied to the control gate while the substrate is floated, and about 5V is applied to the bit line toward the desired floating gate to be erased using F-N tunneling.
2. 독출2. Reading
예를들어 위의 [표 1]에 나타낸 것와 같이 소거시와 프로그램시의 문턱 전압을 각각 -1V, 1V, 3V, 5V, 7V라 하면 콘트롤 게이트에 0V, 2V, 4V, 6V의 전압을 차례로 인가하고 소오스에 0V, 드레인에 5V 정도를 인가하여 데이터를 판별한다.For example, as shown in [Table 1], if the threshold voltages at erasing and programming are -1V, 1V, 3V, 5V, and 7V, respectively, the voltages of 0V, 2V, 4V, and 6V are sequentially applied to the control gate. Then 0V is applied to the source and 5V is applied to the drain to discriminate the data.
상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에 의하면 채널 상부에 서로 다른 문턱 전압을 가지는 두 개의 플로팅 게이트와 그 상부에 콘트롤 게이트를 형성하여, 두 플로팅 게이트의 프로그램 및 소거 정도와 콘트롤 게이트의 바이어스 조합으로 서로 다른 포화 전류를 얻고, 이를 통해 적은 수의 셀로도 많은 서로 다른 상태를 얻을 수 있어 집적도를 향상시킬 수 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, two floating gates having different threshold voltages and upper control gates are formed on the channel, and different saturation currents are formed by a combination of program and erase levels of the two floating gates and a bias of the control gate. In this way, many different states can be obtained with a small number of cells, thereby improving the degree of integration.
