Embodiment
As stated in the Background Art, the memory cell poor-performing of the flash memory that prior art forms, program speed is lower.
The present inventor finds through research, and in order to meet the integrated demand of integrated circuit and semiconductor device, the characteristic size of the memory cell of flash memory reduces continuing.Please continue to refer to Fig. 2, due to reducing of the size of semiconductor device, also corresponding reducing of the distance between adjacent floating gate layer 103; Meanwhile, the performance of flash memory cell in order to guarantee, the thickness of described floating gate layer 103 can not too reduce, to guarantee that described floating gate layer 103 has enough charge storage.But the distance between adjacent floating gate layer 103 reduces, and the thickness of described floating gate layer 103 is when constant, can cause the vertical wide than excessive of the groove that forms between adjacent floating gate layer 103; Even after described floating gate layer 103 and fleet plough groove isolation structure 101 surface formation dielectric layers 104, the groove between the dielectric layer 104 on adjacent floating gate layer 103 surfaces still has larger vertical wide ratio; When adopting depositing operation during at the surperficial formation control grid of described dielectric layer 104 layer 105, described in there is excessive vertical wide ratio groove easily make polycrystalline silicon material be difficult to fill, then make to form space in the control grid layer 105 in described groove.Because charge carrier cannot be passed through in described gap, thereby cause the program rate of the memory cell of formed flash memory to decline.
Further study through the present inventor, form first medium layer on floating gate layer surface, and after the formation control grid layer of described first medium layer surface, carry out thermal anneal process, the lattice of described control grid layer is rearranged, thereby eliminate the space in the control grid layer forming in the groove between the first medium layer on adjacent floating gate layer surface, and it is even described in making, to state the material of control grid layer; Avoid because the groove between the first medium layer on described adjacent floating gate layer surface is vertical wide than the excessive problem that makes to have in formed control grid layer space, and then improved the program rate of the memory cell of the flash memory forming; And the material of control grid layer after thermal annealing is more even, thereby make the memory cell performance of formed flash memory more stable.
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
As shown in Fig. 4 to Fig. 8, it is the cross-sectional view in the forming process of memory cell of the flash memory described in embodiments of the invention.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Semiconductor substrate 200 is provided, in described Semiconductor substrate 200, have some fleet plough groove isolation structures 201, Semiconductor substrate 200 surfaces between described adjacent fleet plough groove isolation structure 201 have second medium layer 202, and described second medium layer 202 surface have floating gate layer 203.

The material of described fleet plough groove isolation structure 201 is silica, forms technique and is well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore not to repeat here; Between described adjacent fleet plough groove isolation structure 201, be used to form the memory cell of single flash memory.
The material of described second medium layer 202 is silica, and formation technique is thermal oxidation technology, or adopts the etching technics after depositing operation and depositing operation to form; Described second medium layer 202 is for the tunnel oxide of the memory cell as flash memory, charge carrier can be realized the migration between Semiconductor substrate 200 and floating gate layer 203 by second medium layer 202 described in tunnelling, thereby reaches the object of wiping, storing or programming.
The material of described floating gate layer 203 is polysilicon, and described floating gate layer 203 is formed by the etching technics after depositing operation and depositing operation; Described floating gate layer 203 can capture or lose electric charge executing under biased state, thereby makes the memory cell of flash memory reach the object of wiping, storing or programming.
In one embodiment, the formation technique of described fleet plough groove isolation structure 201, second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 203 is: at Semiconductor substrate 200 surface deposition second medium films; At described second medium film surface deposition floating boom film; Floating boom film and second medium film described in etched portions, form some discrete second medium layers 202 and floating gate layer 203 on described Semiconductor substrate 200 surfaces; Take described second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 203 as mask, adopt Semiconductor substrate described in the dry etch process etching of anisotropic, the interior formation groove of Semiconductor substrate 200 between adjacent second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 203; In described groove, fill full insulating material, form fleet plough groove isolation structure 201.
In another embodiment, the formation technique of described fleet plough groove isolation structure 201, second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 203 is: in Semiconductor substrate, form some groove isolation constructions 201; Adopt thermal oxidation technology or depositing operation to form second medium film at described semiconductor substrate surface; Form floating boom film at described second medium film surface; Floating boom film and second medium film described in etched portions, until expose described fleet plough groove isolation structure, form second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 203 on described Semiconductor substrate 200 surfaces.
Please refer to Fig. 5, at described fleet plough groove isolation structure 201, Semiconductor substrate 200, floating gate layer 203 and second medium layer 202 surface coverage first medium layer 204, between the first medium layer 204 on described adjacent floating gate layer 203 surfaces, there is groove 205.
The composite construction that described first medium layer 204 is silica-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide or the composite construction of silicon-nitride and silicon oxide-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide silicon nitride; The formation technique of described first medium layer is depositing operation, preferably chemical vapor deposition method; Described first medium layer 204 is for isolating the control grid layer of described floating gate layer 203 and follow-up formation.
Because the dielectric constant of silicon nitride is higher than silica, therefore, in the time that silicon nitride and silica have identical electrical thickness, the physical thickness of silicon nitride is thicker than silica; And then when in the identical situation of electrical thickness, because the physical thickness of silicon nitride is thicker, therefore the electric isolating effect of silicon nitride is better; Especially integrated along with integrated circuit or semiconductor device, the size of the memory cell of the flash memory of required formation continues to dwindle, and pure silica material cannot meet the electric isolation requirement between floating gate layer 203 and the control grid layer of follow-up formation; Therefore, need to form the first medium layer 204 of the composite construction of silica-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide, to strengthen the electricity isolation between floating gate layer 203 and control grid layer.
In the present embodiment, the composite construction that described first medium layer 204 is silica-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide or the composite construction of silicon-nitride and silicon oxide-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide silicon nitride; Wherein, described silicon nitride can not increase the electrical thickness of first medium layer 204 in the case of guaranteeing, increases the physical thickness of described first medium layer 204, produces electric leakage to prevent charge carrier from diffusion occurring between floating gate layer 203 and control gate; Meanwhile, because electrical thickness does not change, can guarantee that the parameter such as electric field strength or operating voltage in the memory cell of formed flash memory can meet process requirements; In addition, the silica that is positioned at described silicon nitride upper surface or lower surface can avoid the thickness of described first medium layer 204 blocked up, makes the thickness of described first medium layer 204 in the scope of technique license; Therefore,, in the time of the composite construction of described first medium layer 204 composite construction that is silica-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide or silicon-nitride and silicon oxide-silicon-nitride and silicon oxide silicon nitride, the performance of the memory cell of the flash memory forming is more stable.
In addition, in the present embodiment, because described second medium layer 202 and floating gate layer 204 are formed at Semiconductor substrate 200 surfaces between adjacent fleet plough groove isolation structure, therefore adjacent floating gate layer 204, second medium layer 202 form opening with fleet plough groove isolation structure 201; Again because the thickness of formed first medium layer 204 is limited, unsuitable blocked up, even if therefore, after described fleet plough groove isolation structure 201, floating gate layer 203 and second medium layer 202 surface coverage first medium layer 204, between the first medium layer 204 between adjacent floating gate layer 203, surface still forms groove 205; The width dimensions of described groove 205 is subject to the distance limit between adjacent floating gate layer 203, and the degree of depth of described groove 205 is subject to the thickness limits of described floating gate layer 203; But, along with the size of semiconductor device is constantly dwindled, the distance between adjacent floating gate layer 203 also constantly reduces, but the thickness of described floating gate layer 203 can not correspondingly reduce, to guarantee that described floating gate layer 203 has enough charge storage, makes formed flush memory device have good performance; Therefore, cause the vertical wide than excessive of described groove 205, in the scope that is greater than 3; Described groove 205 vertical wide compared conference and caused follow-uply in the time of the interior filling control grid layer 206 of described groove 205, formed space in the control grid layer in described groove, made formed control grid layer quality bad, the performance of the flush memory device that impact forms.
Please refer to Fig. 6, form and fill full described groove 205(as shown in Figure 5 on described first medium layer 204 surface) control grid layer 206.
