Abstract
【解決手段】実施形態に係わる不揮発性半導体記憶装置は、半導体層11と、半導体層11上の第1の絶縁層13と、第1の絶縁層13上の電荷蓄積層14と、電荷蓄積層14上の第2の絶縁層15と、第2の絶縁層15上の制御ゲート電極16とを備える。第2の絶縁層15は、電荷蓄積層14側から制御ゲート電極16側に向かって、第1のランタンアルミネート層LAO、ランタンアルミシリケート層LASO及び第2のランタンアルミネート層LAOを備える。
【選択図】図1
Description
フラッシュメモリなどのセルトランジスタは、半導体層上に、第1の絶縁層、電荷蓄積層、第2の絶縁層及び制御ゲート電極の積層構造を有する。半導体層及び電荷蓄積層間のキャパシタンスをCtnlとし、電荷蓄積層及び制御ゲート電極間のキャパシタンスをCipdとしたとき、カップリング比CPRは、CPR = Cipd/(Ctnl+Cipd)で表される。
y = -13x + 84.25 …(1)
となる。
図1のセルトランジスタの製造方法を説明する。
図1のセルトランジスタは、フラッシュメモリなどの不揮発性半導体記憶装置のメモリセルに適用可能である。例えば、2値/多値NANDフラッシュメモリや、三次元構造のNANDフラッシュメモリなどのメモリセルに本実施例を適用できる。
実施形態によれば、カップリング比の増大と書き込み/消去時のリーク電流の低減とを同時に実現することができる。
