Certainly, if the distance less (that is the width of n type source area 114a is less) between the adjacent two stack structures 112 of shared same n type source area 114a, make stack structure 112 link to each other and cover n type source area 114a at the clearance wall 116 of n type source area 114a side, then in the above-mentioned silicide process of aligning voluntarily, can not form metal silicide layer 120 on the n type source area 114a.In addition, it should be noted that, in the above description, only aim at metal silicide technology voluntarily, but in fact this high-k metal gate devices technology (CMOS) of aiming at metal silicide technology and peripheral circuit voluntarily combines in memory cell areas.
Please refer to Fig. 2 D, form the photoresist layer 122 with opening 124 on n type substrate 100 and stack structure 112, its formation method for example is a lithography/etch process.Be mask with photoresist layer 122 more then, carry out ion implantation technology, among the n type drain region 114b and p type shallow well district 102 with the below of ion 130 being injected the metal silicide layer 120 that openings 124 are exposed, run through the doped region 126 of the knot in n type drain region 114b and p type shallow well district 102 with formation.Wherein, ion 130 for example is boron difluoride (BF 2) ion.
Please refer to Fig. 2 E, remove photoresist layer 122, on n type substrate 100 and stack structure 112, form interlayer dielectric layer 128 afterwards again.The material of interlayer dielectric layer 128 for example is boron-phosphorosilicate glass (BPSG) or phosphorosilicate glass (PSG), and the formation method of interlayer dielectric layer 128 for example is a chemical vapour deposition technique.Carry out flatening process (for example etch-back method, chemical mechanical milling method (ChemicalMechanical Polishing)) then, make the flattening surface of interlayer dielectric layer 128.Then, form the contact plunger 132 that is electrically connected with metal silicide layer 120 in interlayer dielectric layer 128, its material for example is the tungsten metal.The formation method of contact plunger 132 for example is prior to forming the opening (not illustrating) that exposes the metal silicide layer 120 within the n type drain region 114b in the interlayer dielectric layer 128, inserting conductor material then to form it in opening.
Afterwards, on interlayer dielectric layer 128, form the lead 134 that is electrically connected with contact plunger 132.Promptly finish the technology of the flash memory cell 150 that Fig. 2 E illustrated this moment.The formation method of lead 134 for example is after forming conductor layer (not illustrating) on the interlayer dielectric layer 128, carries out photoetching and etching step again and forms the lead 134 of strip.The follow-up technology of finishing flash memory is known by existing skill person, does not repeat them here.
The present invention forms metal silicide layer 120 in n type drain region 114b, and forms doped region 126 in metal silicide layer 120 belows, and runs through the knot in n type drain region 114b and p type shallow well district 102, so that n type drain region 114b and the 102 electrical short circuits of p type shallow well district.Form contact plunger 132 afterwards again to be electrically connected to metal silicide layer 120, in the technology of avoiding existing contact plunger, because of the too big difficulty that suffers from of contact plunger opening depth-to-width ratio.Therefore, the present invention can reduce the degree of difficulty of technology.
It should be noted that especially, in another embodiment of the present invention, can also before the ion implantation technology of carrying out Fig. 2 D, form interlayer dielectric layer 128 (shown in Fig. 2 E) earlier, be that mask carries out ion implantation technology with interlayer dielectric layer 128 then, to form doped region 126 (shown in Fig. 2 D).Afterwards again in inserting conductor material in the opening shown in Fig. 2 D 124 to form contact plunger 132 (shown in Fig. 2 E).That is to say that the present invention can directly utilize interlayer dielectric layer 128 as mask, and needn't form the mask of photoresist layer as ion implantation technology in the technology that forms doped region 126.Can save one photomask thus, and then reduce the technology cost.
Below will describe the flash memory cell 150 that forms according to above-mentioned technology in detail.Please refer to Fig. 2 E, flash memory cell 150 mainly comprises n type substrate 100, stack structure 112, n type source area 114a, n type drain region 114b, metal silicide layer 120, interlayer dielectric layer 128 and lead 134.Wherein, be formed with p type shallow well district 102 in the n type substrate 100.Stack structure 112 is configured in the n type substrate 100, and it is made of dielectric layer 108a between tunneling dielectric layer 104a, floating grid 106a, grid and control grid 110a in regular turn 100 of n type substrates.N type source area 114a and n type drain region 114b then are configured in respectively in the p type shallow well district 102 in the n type substrate 100 of stack structure 112 both sides.Metal silicide layer 120 is configured in the n type drain region 114b, and interlayer dielectric layer 128 is configured on n type substrate 100 and the stack structure 112.132 of contact plungers are formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 128, and are electrically connected with metal silicide layer 120 in the n type drain region 114b.In addition, also dispose lead 134 on the interlayer dielectric layer 128, it is electrically connected with n type drain region 114b by contact plunger 132, with the bit line (bit line) as flash memory cell 150.
Specifically, flash memory cell 150 also includes a doped region 126, be formed in the p type shallow well district 102 of n type drain region 114b and below thereof so that n type drain region 114b by doped region 126 with the 102 electrical short circuits of p type shallow well district.In addition, also can dispose metal silicide layer 120 on the stack structure 112, to reduce the resistance of control grid 110a.
Dispose metal silicide layer 120 in the n type drain region 114b of flash memory cell 150, therefore can reduce the resistance of n type drain region 114b, and improve the consistency of element resistance.In addition, because contact plunger 132 is electrically connected with n type drain region 114b and p type shallow well district 102 by metal silicide layer 120, therefore can reduce the resistance between contact plunger 132 and n type drain region 114b and the p type shallow well district 102, and then the reading speed of raising flash memory cell 150, to improve the usefulness of element.
