- Essential parameters of a semiconductor memory element arrangement are the hold time for which the memory content stored in the individual semiconductor memory elements is retained, the write time required for programming the memory content and the write voltages necessary for programming the memory content.
- RAM Random Access Memory
- EPROM Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory
- the tunnel barriers are not, as usual, in the form of a rectangular potential with a constant height of the potential barrier, but are profiled by means of "peaks" or "spikes".
- such a “crested barrier” semiconductor memory element can achieve relatively fast write times.
- the write voltages required for writing are relatively large, since to build up the “crested barrier” structure, layer structures with nanocrystals that are distributed over a large area and are arranged at a relatively large distance of approximately 3-5 nm are required, in which the coupling between adjacent layers is relative is weak.

- the PLED memory element has a write transistor and a read transistor.
- the substrate of the write transistor is formed by the multiple tunnel barrier and the gate of the write transistor by the second word line.
- the floating gate itself forms the gate of the read transistor.
- a floating gate (memory node) is first selectively formed on a substrate covered by a gate insulation layer, whereupon its side walls are covered by an insulating layer.
- a first gate electrode is formed by first applying a polysilicon layer over the entire surface. Then, photoresist is applied where the first gate electrode is to be formed and an anisotropic etching step is carried out. Since the anisotropic etching does not take place in the horizontal direction, the polysilicon also remains on the side wall of the floating gate, with which the first gate electrode is formed.
- a multiple tunnel barrier is then formed on the structure thus obtained, and a second gate
- the electrode is formed adjacent to the multiple tunnel barrier and in a manner corresponding to the first gate electrode by applying a polysilicon layer over the entire area, selectively applying a photoresist and anisotropically etching the polysilicon layer.
- [3] also describes a highly integrated flash memory, each memory cell containing four vertical floating gate transistors. Two mutually orthogonal gate lines enable the control gates to be addressed. First source / drain connections can be addressed line by line by means of connecting lines which are arranged parallel to the first gate lines. Second source / drain connections can be addressed line by line by means of connecting lines which are arranged parallel to the second gate lines.
- [4] describes a highly integrated semiconductor memory with a columnar EPROM cell with a floating gate and a control gate. The EPROM cell is completely depleted. The control gate of the EPROM cell consists of p + -doped semiconductor material.
- [5] describes a vertical floating gate transistor with a variety of tunnel barriers.

- the stored charge influences the conductivity of the source / drain path.
- the tunnel barrier arrangement has a multiplicity of tunnel barriers, the tunnel barrier arrangement alternately having a 3 nm thick polysilicon layer and a 1 nm thick silicon nitride layer.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of creating a method for producing a semiconductor memory element arrangement, a method for operating a semiconductor memory element arrangement and a semiconductor memory element arrangement which enable easier production while ensuring trouble-free operation.
- a first electrically insulating layer is applied to a substrate.

- the manufacturing method according to the invention is considerably simplified compared to the known method.
- the two gate electrodes are designed as self-adjusting spacers.
- data is written or erased by applying a positive electrical voltage to the second gate electrode and applying a negative or positive electrical voltage to the data line.
- the positive voltage applied to the second gate electrode increases the electrical charge transmission of the tunnel barrier arrangement during the write or erase process and enables the supply or discharge of electrical charge to and from the floating gate and thus an inverting of the between and drain region in the channel located in the substrate.
- the reading process is carried out by applying a positive voltage to the first gate electrode in order to test the threshold voltage of the reading transistor formed by the floating gate and the source or drain connection.
- a current flow in the channel is detected or not, depending on the inverted or non-inverted state of the channel, with an electrical voltage present between the source and drain regions.

- the structuring of the second electrically insulating layer applied to the tunnel barrier arrangement preferably has the following steps:
- first Trench spacers are formed on the second electrically insulating layer.
- the first trenches preferably have a smaller width than the second trenches.
- the first and the second gate electrodes are preferably formed as spacers in the second trenches of the second trench structure.

- Such a thin layer of polycrystalline silicon can be regarded as a two-dimensional lattice of conductive islands which are connected to one another by very small capacitances.
- the distances between the polysilicon nanocrystals can be easily controlled.
- a Coulomb blockage can thus be used in a targeted manner, so that the write time of the memory cell is further shortened.

- the direction of the source or drain regions and the data line is shown by arrow 303.
- the first and the second trench structures 301, 302 have a different width. While in the first trench structure 301 the entire width of the trenches formed is filled with polysilicon to form the first and second gate electrodes, in the second trench structure 302 the first and second gate electrodes are formed as spacers. Two first and second gate electrodes are thus formed in the second trench structure, which are separated from one another by an electrically insulating layer running between the respective spacers.
- the semiconductor memory element arrangement 300 thus forms a high-density raster structure.
- the arrangement of the individual memory cells corresponds to a so-called “virtual ground array”.

- Data is deleted accordingly by applying a positive voltage of +3 volts to the second gate electrode and applying a positive voltage of +3 volts to the data line.
- the voltage of +3 volts applied to the second gate electrode increases the electrical charge transmission of the multiple tunnel barrier during the write or erase process and enables the supply or discharge of electrical charge to and from the floating gate 105 and thus an inverting of the channel located between the source and drain regions.
- data is read in the semiconductor memory element arrangement 300 by applying a positive voltage of +3 volts to the first gate electrode and applying a lower positive voltage, for example +2 volts, to all drain lines, while all sources -Lines are set to 0 volts.
- the writing of data in the semiconductor memory element arrangement 300 corresponds to the setting of a logical “1” and the deletion to the setting of a logical “0”. These logical values are always set on the entire addressed word line using the corresponding data lines.
- the fact that only the first gate electrode is used for reading data from the semiconductor memory element arrangement according to the invention and only the second gate electrode for writing data means that a reduction in the electrical charge on the floating gate is achieved via the multiple tunnel barrier of the reading process is prevented, so that the reading process can take place without interference.
