Abstract
【解決手段】本発明の例に関わる不揮発性半導体記憶装置は、半導体基板内に配置されるソース・ドレイン拡散層と、ソース・ドレイン拡散層の間のチャネル上に配置される第1絶縁膜T-ox.と、第1絶縁膜T-ox.上に配置され、スタックされた複数の第1導電層から構成されるフローティングゲート電極FGと、フローティングゲート電極FG上に配置される第2絶縁膜IPDと、第2絶縁膜IPD上に配置されるコントロールゲート電極CGとを備える。複数の第1導電層のうち最上層を除く1つの第1導電層を基準層とした場合に、基準層の仕事関数は、4.0eV以上であり、基準層から上の基準層を含む複数の第1導電層の仕事関数φw1, φw2, …φwnは、第2絶縁膜IPDに向かうに従って次第に大きくなる。
【選択図】図7
Description
β = CIPD/Ctot
となる。但し、Ctotは、コントロールゲート電極とチャネルとの間の容量の総和、CIPDは、コントロールゲート電極とフローティングゲート電極との間の容量である。
本発明の例を説明するに当っては、「仕事関数」という概念が度々登場する。そこで、まず、この仕事関数について説明する。
本発明の例は、スタックゲート構造のメモリセルを有する不揮発性半導体記憶装置に適用される。
本発明の例では、まず、図7に示すように、フローティングゲート電極FGを複数の導電層FG1,FG2,…FGnから構成し、複数の導電層FG1,FG2,…FGnのうち最上層を除く1つの導電層を基準層とする。そして、基準層の仕事関数を4.0eV以上とし、基準層から上の基準層を含む複数の導電層の仕事関数をIPDに向かうに従って次第に大きくする。
本発明の原理について説明する。
