Fig. 2 B is the cross-section structure signal after executing step S2 in the forming method of the SONOS device of the embodiment of the present invention Figure.In conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 B, step S2 is executed, form the covering polysilicon layer 12 in the storage area under control II and described is covered firmly The width of the first side wall of storage tube 14 of the side surface of mold layer 13, the ONO layer 11 is greater than 14 He of the first side wall of storage tube The sum of the width of the polysilicon layer 13.In the present embodiment, in the forming method flow diagram of SONOS device shown in Fig. 1 " the first side wall " refer to is exactly the first side wall of storage tube 14.
By step S2, first side wall of storage tube 14 is formed in 12 upper surface of ONO layer, and in the storage tube The two sides of first side wall 14 respectively expose a part of ONO layer 11.
It as shown in Figure 2 B, can be simultaneously in selection area under control I when storage area under control II forms first side wall 14 of storage tube The first side wall of selection grid 24 of the covering selection grid layer 22 and selection grid mask layer 23 is formed, it is in the present embodiment, selected The width for selecting grid oxide layer 21 is greater than the sum of the width of first side wall of selection grid 24 and the selection grid layer 22, therefore selects The first side wall of grid 24 is formed in 21 upper surface of selection grid oxide layer, and in each exposure in two sides of first side wall of selection grid 24 A part selection grid oxide layer 21 out.
Fig. 3 B is that logic area executes the schematic diagram of the section structure after step P2.As shown in Figure 3B, step is executed in memory block Step P2 is executed in logic area III while S2: forming the logic gate for covering the logic grid layer 32 and logic gate mask layer 33 First side wall 34.
In the present embodiment, the width of institute's logic grid oxide layer 31 is greater than first side wall of logic gate 34 and described patrols The sum of the width of grid layer 32 is collected, therefore the first side wall of logic gate 34 is formed in 31 upper surface of logic grid oxide layer, and patrols described The two sides for collecting the first side wall of grid 34 respectively expose a part of logic grid oxide layer 31.
Specifically, the material of first side wall of storage tube 14, the first side wall of selection grid 24 and the first side wall of logic gate 34 Material is, for example, carbon containing silicon nitride, helps to make first side wall of storage tube 14, the first side wall of selection grid 24 and logic gate The structure of first side wall 34 is finer and close, subsequent etching hard mask layer 13, selection grid mask layer 23, logic gate mask layer 33 and When the silicon nitride material being additionally formed, the first side wall of storage tube 14, the first side wall of selection grid 24 and the first side wall of logic gate 34 It is not easy the destruction that is etched.Form first side wall of storage tube 14, the first side wall of the first side wall of selection grid 24 and logic gate 34 method is, for example, atomic layer deposition (ALD).
Fig. 2 C is the cross-section structure signal after executing step S3 in the forming method of the SONOS device of the embodiment of the present invention Figure.In conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 C, step S3 is executed, etches the ONO layer 11 being exposed, using anisotropic etch process to go Except the barrier oxide layer 113 and charge storage layer 112 in the ONO layer 11 being exposed.
As shown in Figure 2 C, before etching, photoetching is carried out, so that photoresist 4 is covered memory block and logic area III, and pass through exposure Open storage area under control II.
The anisotropic etch process used in the present embodiment is dry etching.Generally when carrying out dry etching, Chang Cai With stopping and the arrival time stopping two ways of reaching home.Stopping mode of reaching home is to be not provided with etch period, but sharp Stop etching again after the completion of the material that will be etched all etches with the terminal detecting function of dry etching equipment.Arrival time stops Mode is setting etch period, and etches in setting etch period.In the present embodiment, it needs that storage tube first will be exposed to Charge storage layer 112 in the ONO layer 11 of 14 two sides of side wall etches removal, due in ONO layer 11 for example including silica and nitrogen The mixing lamination of SiClx, if be difficult to through the selection to material by the way of stopping of reaching home so that plasma Bottom is stopped at after etching barrier oxide layer 113 (for example, silica) and charge storage layer 112 (for example, silicon nitride) simultaneously Tunnel oxide (for example, silica) on.Therefore, it preferably performs etching, etches in such a way that arrival time stops here Dwell time is preferably after etched charge storage layer 112 to tunneling through before oxide layer 111 etched.Retain part On the one hand tunnel oxide 111 makes etching process convenient for control, prevents etching from having an impact to semiconductor base 10;In addition have Help protect semiconductor base 10 in the subsequent process, prevents its exposed.In another embodiment of the invention, when etching stopping Between be also possible to tunnel through when the etching of oxide layer 111 completes, at this point, in order to protect exposed semiconductor base 10, Ke Yi Thermal anneal process is carried out after having etched tunnel oxide 111, forms protective oxide film on 10 surface of semiconductor base.
In etching process, the region other than 4 pairs of photoresist storage areas under control II stops, and hard mask layer 13 is to polysilicon Layer 12 is stopped.Although the hard mask layer 13 and the first side wall of storage tube 14 that expose also will receive etching, due to ONO layer 11 is relatively thin relative to hard mask layer 13 and storage tube the first side wall 14, etching is easy, therefore, by certain time Etching, hard mask layer 13 and the first side wall of storage tube 14 are etched away sub-fraction, and remaining hard mask layer 13 still can be used as Barrier layer prevents plasma from having an impact to polysilicon layer 12.
By step S3, by the charge storage layer in the extra ONO layer 11 for being exposed to 14 two sides of the first side wall of storage tube 112 etching removals.
Then C referring to Figures 1 and 2 executes step S4, then execute LDD injection, the half of 12 two sides of polysilicon layer Ion lightly doped district is formed in conductor substrate 10.
Under the blocking of photoresist 4, continue to execute the storage area under control II exposed LDD injection, LDD injects under this step Region it is identical as the region that step S3 plasma etches, that is, be storage area under control II.Thus, before carrying out LDD injection, It no longer needs to carry out section of the photoetching to redefine LDD injection, simplifies production technology;In addition, region and the step of LDD injection The region of S3 plasma etching is identical, therefore, the photoetching needed when being performed etching in step S3 to the ONO layer 11 being exposed Light shield when light shield can be using LDD injection, makes the forming method of SONOS device provided in an embodiment of the present invention referring now to existing Technique does not increase light shield additionally, controls process costs.
After having executed LDD injection, photoresist 4 is removed.
