Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of OTP parts structure.The invention still further relates to a kind of preparation method of OTP parts.
Background technology
Utilizing floating boom (Floating poly) store electrons is the basic functional principle of common disposable programmable memory spare OTP (one-time programmable memory).Floating boom in the OTP parts can embed in the common logic process, generally add a floating boom electric capacity and realize the basic programming of OTP and the function of charge storage by a transistor, the schematic diagram of OTP parts is seen Fig. 1, domain in concrete preparation is seen Fig. 2, wherein the shared polysilicon of control gate and floating boom.
The OTP of this structure is under the influence of process deviation, the program speed of product can be variant, generally do not wait at 100u-500us, and fixing program conditions is often not general for different products, for jumbo product, program speed is unusual important techniques index.
Utilize (CHE) grid maximum current of thermoelectronic effect when programming owing to existing OTP parts simultaneously, the crest of maximum current is steep excessively, can be for the too high (see figure 4) of the required precision of program voltage.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is a kind of OTP parts structure, and it can improve the performance of OTP programming.The present invention also will provide a kind of preparation method of OTP parts.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the described OTP parts of OTP parts structure of the present invention comprises transistor area and capacitor regions, described transistor area comprises the transistor active area, the electric capacity active area that described capacitor regions comprises floating boom and is positioned at the floating boom both sides, the shared polysilicon of control gate of the described floating boom of described capacitor regions and described transistor area, the described electric capacity active area of the described floating boom both sides of described capacitor regions is drawn the source electrode and the drain electrode of described capacitor regions; Described capacitor regions also comprises and is positioned at both sides, described floating boom below, be separated from each other and comprise respectively two additional ions injection zones of described electric capacity active area, described additional ions injection zone partly is positioned at the floating boom below, the injection ionic type of described additional ions injection zone is identical with the ionic type of electric capacity active area, and the ion concentration of described additional ions injection zone is less than the ion concentration of electric capacity active area.
The preparation method of OTP parts of the present invention for before active area injects, utilizes photoetching process to define the ion implanted region territory earlier, after carry out additional ions and inject, annealing afterwards makes the horizontal proliferation of additional ions injection zone.
In the OTP parts structure of the present invention, utilize the extra coupling regime that increases the transistor active area and the floating utmost point that injects, make the floating boom maximum current of OTP programming NMOS appear at the voltage higher position, current value is big more, and device programming speed is fast more.And the coupling regime of active area and grid increases, and OTPProgram grid current peak value is slowed down, and for the required precision reduction of program voltage, and reduces the influence of process deviation for programing effect.And OTP parts of the present invention increases the floating boom electric current by utilizing the stack of FN tunnelling current and hot electron CHE (Hot electron) effect, thereby program speed is improved, and program voltage can suitably descend according to demand.

Embodiment
The present invention is on existing OTP parts structure, a kind of OTP parts project organization and process implementation method have been proposed, be embedded in the common logic process, realization comprises the lifting of program capability, the reduction of program voltage, the raising of program speed, the raising of storage reserve force (Data retention) etc. for floating boom OTP parts optimization in Properties.
Utilizing the extra coupling regime that injects increase active area and grid is emphasis of the present invention.Fig. 3 is the schematic cross-section along BB ' in the coupling capacitance zone of the present invention.Be example with the OTP parts that contains nmos pass transistor among the figure, from this sectional view as can be known, both sides below as the polysilicon of floating boom, two additional ions injection zones that are separated from each other and comprise the electric capacity active area are respectively arranged, described additional ions injection zone partly is positioned at floating boom below (see figure 3), forms the coupling regime of electric capacity active area and floating boom.Maximum current appears at the voltage higher position on the floating boom of programming NMOS, and current value is big more, and device programming speed is fast more.Coupling regime between transistor active area and the floating boom increases, and makes the OTP parts programming grid current peak (see figure 5) that slows down, and the required precision that has reduced program voltage reduces, and reduces the influence of process deviation for programing effect.And by utilizing FN tunnelling current and hot electron to puncture the stack of (CHE:Hot electron) effect, grid current is increased, thereby program speed is improved, program voltage can suitably descend according to demand.
Process implementation method for the additional ions injection that increases: utilize active area to be infused in active area and inject the extra injection of appending before once, the ionic type that this secondary ion injects is identical with the injection ionic type of active area, implantation concentration is lower than the active area, but energy is wanted big (being that the degree of depth is wanted deeply), the annealing thermal process of technology after utilizing, diffuse laterally into the grid below, inject the coupling regime that forms between transistor active area and the floating boom.In the example as shown in Figure 3, additional ions is injected to the ion of N type, can be arsenic, and its implantation concentration is: 5 * 10
13-5 * 10
14Between individual atom/square centimeter, the injection energy is: 50-100Kev.Additional ions of the present invention is injected, and also can use extra lithography mask version (figure of this mask is identical with the ion implanted region of being scheduled to) to realize, can not need the DIFFUSION TREATMENT of annealing after injecting like this.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are respectively the comparison of the Ig-Vg measured data of OTP parts of the present invention and existing OTP parts.After can seeing that carrying out additional ions in OTP parts of the present invention injects, the maximum current peak of floating boom becomes a big order of magnitude, and the decline of the electric current after the peak value slows down.
The present invention is on existing OTP structure, a kind of novel designs structure and process implementation method have been proposed, embed common logic process, realization comprises the lifting of program capability, the reduction of program voltage, the raising of program speed, the raising of Data retention (storage reserve force) for floating boom OTP parts optimization in Properties.
