Description
ゲート酸化物のまわりに構成されたデータ記憶要素を有する半導体メモリ・セルは、極薄誘電体に応力をかけて破壊(軟破壊又は硬破壊(soft or hard breakdown))に至らせてメモリ・セルの漏れ電流レベルを設定することによって情報を記憶するために用いられる。メモリ・セルは、セルによって引き込まれる電流を検知することによって読み出される。適切な極薄誘電体は、トランジスタ内で用いられる50Å又はそれ未満の厚さの高品質ゲート酸化物であるが、それは、現在利用可能な進歩したCMOSロジックのプロセスで一般に得られる。かかる酸化物は、堆積(deposition)によって、珪素活性領域からの酸化物成長によって、又はその組み合わせによって、一般に形成される。その他の適切な誘電体には、酸化物−窒化物−酸化物複合物、複合酸化物等が含まれる。
