Gate insulation layer 125a and 125b can be interposed in respectively between control grid electrode 140 and fin 105a and the 105b.For example, gate insulation layer 125a and 125b can be formed at the top of the outer surface of fin 105a and 105b respectively. Gate insulation layer 125a and 125b or can be called as tunneling insulation layer are because they can be used as the tunnelling path of electric charge. Gate insulation layer 125a and 125b can be for example formed by the compound of silica, silicon nitride, high dielectric constant material and/or these materials.
Memory node 130a and 130b can be arranged at respectively between gate insulation layer 125a and 125b and the control grid electrode 140.For example, memory node 130a and 130b can form the top with the outer surface that covers fin 105a and 105b, and can be formed on the outer surface of gate insulation layer 125a and 125b.Memory node 130a and 130b can be used to stored charge.Flash memory can use floating, and the SONOS memory can use electric charge capture layer.

Non-volatile memory device can also be included in the barrier insulating layer (not shown) between control grid electrode 140 and memory node 130a and the 130b.When memory node 130a and 130b when forming, can need barrier insulating layer by electric conducting material (such as polysilicon and/or SiGe).Barrier insulating layer can for example be a silicon oxide layer.
Thereafter, with the operating characteristic of describing according to the non-volatile memory device of present embodiment.In aforesaid non-volatile memory device, the depletion region that is formed in the part of the fin 105a in source region 145 and drain region 150 and 105b can be limited.Because fin 105a and 105b are rather narrow, so depletion region can further be limited.Because the existence of vacancy 117, Width promptly on as shown in Figure 1 the X1 direction depletion region can be limited, and so will only form along the X3 direction.Yet if reduced the width of fin 105a and 105b, the influence of the depletion region that forms along the X3 direction can reduce.It should be noted that vacancy 117 can have the dielectric constant that is lower than any insulating barrier.
Potential energy in fin 105a between source region 145 and drain region 150 and the 105b part (can be called channel region) and exhaust and significantly to be influenced by vacancy 117.So the arranging and can compare of fin 105a and 105b and vacancy 117 with the soi structure of routine, and can be named as the structure of silicon (SOV) on the vacancy.
Different according to the SOV structure of using in the structure of present embodiment and the conventional flat crystal tubular construction.This structure can be called as class SOV structure.Conventional SOV structure can be arranged at for example X3 direction of vertical direction, but can be arranged at for example X1 direction of horizontal direction according to the class SOV structure of present embodiment.In class SOV structure according to the present invention, fin 105a and 105b can not exclusively float from main body 102, and be different with the SOV structure of routine.
SOV structure and/or class SOV structure can reduce because the contingent short-channel effect of expansion of depletion region.Can reduce cut-off current and junction leakage, and can improve to leak and cause potential barrier reduction (DIBL) effect.In any case, can keep body bias being provided to the advantage of fin 105a and 105b by voltage is provided to main body 102.
Fig. 5 is the curve chart that the electrical characteristics of soi structure and SOV structure are shown.In Fig. 5, represent the curve of SOV structure to obtain by in the flat crystal tubular construction, using the SOV structure, it shows the advantage according to the class SOV structure of present embodiment indirectly.With reference to figure 5, to compare with soi structure, the SOV structure has low cut-off current value and high firing current value.Shown in the illustration among Fig. 5, the SOV structure can have the DIBL value lower than soi structure.Vacancy can have the dielectric constant lower than insulator.Can have the short-channel effect of improvement according to the non-volatile memory device with class SOV structure of present embodiment from above outcome expectancy, for example low cut-off current, high firing current and low DIBL value.
In the non-volatile memory device according to present embodiment, fin 105a and 105b can be used as bit line, and control grid electrode 140 can be used as word line.Memory node 130a and 130b can be used as charge storage layer.When fin 105a and 105b are set to when adjacent one another are, the electric charge that is stored among memory node 130a and the 130b can cause reading disturbing.For example, be stored in the potential energy that adjacent electric charge among the left memory node 130a can change right fin 125b, can disturb the reading of state of right memory node 130b thus, vice versa.Because vacancy 117 for example air has the dielectric constant lower than any insulator, can alleviate and read interference problem.Compare with the soi structure of routine, SOV structure and/or class SOV structure can increase the reliability of read operation.
Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram that non-volatile memory device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.Non-volatile memory device shown in Fig. 4 is the variant that changes a little shown in Fig. 1.Therefore, also non-volatile memory device shown in Figure 4 can be used for, and therefore the part of repetition will be no longer described referring to figs. 1 to the description of the non-volatile memory device shown in 3.In two embodiment, reference number similar among the figure is indicated similar element.
With reference to figure 4, bridge insulating barrier 115 ' forms the space between the top of the inner surface of filling fin 105a and 105b.So, vacancy 117 ' can define between bridge insulating barrier 115 ' time and fin 105a and 105b.For example, when forming insulating barrier by physical vapor deposition (PVD) between very narrow fin 105a that separates and 105b, can form bridge insulating barrier 115 ', because bad step covers, bridge insulating barrier 115 ' only connects the upper end of fin 105a and 105b.
Because the top of fin 105a and 105b is not covered by bridge insulating barrier 115 ' and is exposed thus, gate insulation layer 125a ' and 125b ' can extend on the outer surface of fin 105a and 105b, for example extend on the top of the outer surface of the top of fin 105a and 105b and fin 105a and 105b.
Non-volatile memory device according to present embodiment can have and the characteristic identical according to the non-volatile memory device of aforesaid embodiment.
Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram that non-volatile memory device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.Non-volatile memory device shown in Figure 6 can obtain to enable nand gate by connecting a plurality of non-volatile memory devices.The not description of the part that repeats in previous embodiment of repeated reference, and the similar element of similar in the drawings reference number indication.
With reference to figure 6, a plurality of control grids 140 can extend the top and the bridge insulating barrier 115 of the outer surface of the opposite side, fin 105a and the 105b that cover vacancy 117, and bridge insulating barrier 115 forms to extend between the upper end of fin 105a and 105b.A plurality of gate electrodes 140 are separated from each other.A plurality of gate insulation layer 125a and 125b are interposed in respectively between control grid electrode 140 and fin 105a and the 105b.A plurality of memory node 130a and 130b are interposed in respectively between control grid electrode 140 and gate insulation layer 125a and the 125b.
In enable nand gate, the source region 145 of Fig. 3 and the drain region 150 of Fig. 3 can alternately be formed among the corresponding fin 105a and 105b between the control corresponding gate electrode 140.The order in source region and drain region be not fix and can reverse.In Fig. 6, the quantity of shown control grid electrode 140 is the purpose in order to illustrate only, and scope of the present invention is not limited to such numeral.In addition, the right of fin 105a and 105b has been shown among Fig. 6, but manyly can further be arranged at column direction the fin (not shown).Be arranged at the control grid electrode in the delegation and can be connected to each other.
Though memory device shown in Figure 1 is used in the enable nand gate of Fig. 6, non-volatile memory device shown in Figure 4 also can be used in the enable nand gate.
Fig. 7-the 13rd illustrates according to the non-volatile memory device of another illustrative examples and the schematic diagram of manufacture method thereof.
With reference to figure 7, at least one pair of first groove 153 is formed in the Semiconductor substrate 110.For example, hard mask layer 150 is formed on the Semiconductor substrate 110.Then, use hard mask layer 150 as etching mask, the expose portion of Semiconductor substrate 110 is etched to form first groove 153.Hard mask layer 150 can comprise nitride layer and/or oxide skin(coating).
With reference to figure 8, device isolation layer 120a is filled in first groove 153 at least.For example, device isolation layer 120a is filled in first groove 153, and complanation exposes up to hard mask layer 150 then.So, device isolation layer 120a is filled in first groove 153 with outstanding from Semiconductor substrate 100.
With reference to figure 9, hard mask layer 150 is removed, and gap insulation layer 155 is formed on from the sidewall of the outstanding device isolation layer 120a of Semiconductor substrate 110.Each gap insulation layer 155 has and is suitable for the width that part exposes the Semiconductor substrate 110 between them.For example, form the gap insulation layer 155 feasible predetermined insulating barrier of anisotropic etching then that deposits.Gap insulation layer 155 can comprise nitride layer, and also is included in the oxide skin(coating) that nitride layer increases below.
With reference to Figure 10, use gap insulation layer 155 as etching mask, the Semiconductor substrate 110 that exposes between gap insulation layer 155 is etched, to form second groove 160.So, defined from the outstanding fin of the main body of Semiconductor substrate 110 105a and 105b.First and second grooves 153 and 160 can have the equal degree of depth or the degree of depth that differs from one another.
With reference to Figure 11, the non-conductive cap rock 157 that forms joint gap insulating barrier 155 is to define fin to the vacancy 117a between 105a and the 105b.Cap rock 157 uses to have the sedimentation that bad step covers and forms, and makes that cap rock 157 can joint gap insulating barrier 155 and be not filled in fin in the space between 105a and the 105b.
For example, cap rock 157 can comprise silicon nitride layer, and can pass through plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) formation.In this situation, cap rock 157 is growth thickly on gap insulation layer 155, but fin to the bottom of 105a and 105b and sidewall on growth or do not grow a little.Therefore, cap rock 157 be filled into fin to the space between 105a and the 105b in before, joint gap insulating barrier 155.In this situation, consider the depth-width ratio of second groove 160, cap rock 157 can connect the upper end of fin 105a and 105b.
If cap rock 157 is growth a little on the bottom of fin 105a and 105b and sidewall, in cap rock 157, define vacancy 117a.Yet when the depth-width ratio of second groove 160 was big, cap rock 157 was grown on the sidewall of fin 105a and 105b hardly.In this situation, vacancy 117a can be defined between fin 105a and 105b and the cap rock 157, perhaps between fin 105a and 105b, gap insulation layer 155 and cap rock 157.
With reference to Figure 12, thereby cap rock 157 is defined bridge insulating barrier 115a by complanation selectively.For example can use and eat-back or cmp (CMP) carries out complanation.Bridge insulating barrier 115a comprises gap insulation layer 155 and cap rock 157.Therefore, vacancy 117a defines between bridge insulating barrier 115a and fin 105a and 105b.
