Description
図1は第1の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の断面図を示しており、図1(a)は、第1の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるワードライン方向に平行な断面図であり、図1(b)は、第1の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるビットライン方向に平行な断面図である。
酸化アルミニウム膜を1サイクル成膜したとき、酸化アルミニウム膜の膜厚は0.1nm程度と想定され、式(1)によりAl面密度は4×1014 atoms/cm2程度である。酸化アルミニウム膜の10サイクル成膜したとき、酸化アルミニウム膜の膜厚は1nm程度と想定され、式(1)によりAl面密度は3×1015 atoms/cm2程度である。
本発明の第2の実施形態による不揮発性半導体記憶装置について図7を用いて説明する。図7(a)は、第2の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるワードライン方向に平行な断面図であり、図7(b)は、第2の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるビットライン方向に平行な断面図である。この第2の実施形態の構成について図1の第1の実施形態の不揮発性半導体記憶装置の構成と同一部分は同一符号で示し、その詳細な説明を省略する。この第2の実施形態が、第1の実施形態と異なる点は、界面領域2が半導体基板1とトンネル絶縁膜3の間に設けられている代わりに、トンネル絶縁膜3と電荷蓄積絶縁膜4との間に設けられている点である。
本発明の第3の実施形態による不揮発性半導体記憶装置について図8を用いて説明する。図8(a)は、第3の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるワードライン方向に平行な断面図であり、図8(b)は、第3の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるビットライン方向に平行な断面図である。
さらに、電荷蓄積絶縁膜4からの蓄積電荷の漏洩を抑制できるため、本実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の電荷保持特性を改善することができる。
本発明の第4の実施形態による不揮発性半導体記憶装置について図9を用いて説明する。図9(a)は、第4の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるワードライン方向に平行な断面図であり、図9(b)は、第4の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置におけるビットライン方向に平行な断面図である。
本発明の第5の実施形態による不揮発性半導体記憶装置について図を用いて以下説明する。この第5の実施形態の構成について図1の第1の実施形態の不揮発性半導体記憶装置の構成と同一部分は同一符号で示し、その詳細な説明を省略する。図10は、第5の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の断面図であり、図11乃至図14は、第5の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置のメモリセルを示す平面図である。
本実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の製造方法を以下説明する。
なお、トンネル絶縁膜3、電荷蓄積絶縁膜4、ブロック絶縁膜5は単層の場合について述べたが、シリコン酸化膜やシリコン窒化膜、シリコン酸窒化膜、もしくは金属酸化膜もしくはそれらの積層膜でも良い。
チャネルとなるシリコンピラー14とトンネル絶縁膜3との界面に界面領域2を形成した場合には、読み込み時のリーク電流を減少させることができる。同一電界としたときのリーク電流を減少させることができるため、トンネル絶縁膜の薄膜化が可能となり、書き込み/消去特性の改善、素子の高性能化が可能となる。
本実施形態では、メモリセル部の形成に関して、メモリーホール内面からブロック絶縁膜5、電荷蓄積絶縁膜4、トンネル絶縁膜3、及びシリコンピラー14を順に形成するように述べたが、シリコンピラー14、トンネル絶縁膜3、電荷蓄積絶縁膜4、及びブロック絶縁膜5を順に形成して場合においても、本実施形態の効果を同様に得ることができる。
