Description

真空管闪存结构及其制造方法
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体制造领域,尤其涉及一种真空管闪存结构及其制造方法。
背景技术
真空管(英文:Vacuum Tube)是一种电子元件,在电路中控制电子的流动。参与工作的电极被封装在一个真空的容器内(管壁大多为玻璃),因而得名。在二十世纪中期前,因半导体尚未普及,基本上当时所有的电子器材均使用真空管,形成了当时对真空管的需求。但在半导体技术的发展普及和平民化下,真空管因成本高、不耐用、体积大、效能低等原因,最后被半导体取代了。但是可以在音响、微波炉及人造卫星的高频发射机看见真空管的身影。部份战斗机为防止核爆造成的电磁脉冲损坏,机上的电子设备亦采用真空管,真空管结构如图1所示,其包括栅极1、集电极3、发射极2及发热电阻丝3,电子4由发射极2流向集电极3。
早期的电子器件中真空管用来放大、开关或调节电信号。然而,随着半导体技术的发展,几十年以来,固态器件已经取代了真空管,例如MOSFET、BJT及二极管。
然而,真空管依然在音响系统和高功率无线电基站使用。这是由于真空管比固态器件的鲁棒性更好,可以在高温及各种辐射环境中使用。真空原理上是优于固体载体的传输媒介。电子在真空的速度是理论上3×1010厘米/秒,但在半导体中的速度仅仅为5×107厘米/秒。

接着,在所述栅极50的两侧形成源漏极70,形成如图2所示的结构。其中,所述源漏极70材质为Zr、V、Nb、Ta、Cr、Mo、W、Fe、Co、Pd、Cu、Al、Ga、In、Ti、TiN、TaN、或者C等材质。所述源漏极70可以采用CVD或者PVD等工艺形成。由此,真空由源漏极70及栅极50进行密封,真空内的压强范围是0.1torr~50torr。
请参考图15,在形成源漏极70之后,再在H2或者N2氛围下进行高温退火工艺,反应温度范围是600摄氏度~1000摄氏度,采用高温退火工艺对源漏极70进行处理,能够使源漏极70朝向真空内具有凸起,形成弧形状,如图3所示,从而可以增加器件的性能。
综上,在本发明实施例提供的真空管闪存结构及其制造方法中,在沟道中形成真空,并且采用氧化物-氮化物-氧化物组合结构作为栅介质层,其中,氮化物能够很好的束缚电荷,从而为栅极和真空之间提供绝缘阻挡作用。由于采用了氧化物-氮化物-氧化物组合结构作为栅介质层,能够使形成的器件具有更好的编程、擦除速度及贮存时间,同样还能够提高优越的栅极控制性能及极小的栅极漏电流。
上述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已,并不对本发明起到任何限制作用。任何所属技术领域的技术人员,在不脱离本发明的技术方案的范围内,对本发明揭露的技术方案和技术内容做任何形式的等同替换或修改等变动,均属未脱离本发明的技术方案的内容,仍属于本发明的保护范围之内。
