Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the variation of the characteristics of a memory cell transistor by sufficiently irradiating the surface of a wafer substrate with ultraviolet rays before performing the test for the operating function of an integrated circuit. CONSTITUTION:After forming a FAMOS type EPROM having a memory cell transistor part, the surface of the wafer substrate 11 is turned up, and the entire surface of the substrate 11 is sufficiently irradiated with the ultraviolet rays from above the substrate 11 by means of an ultraviolet ray lamp 13. The irradiation of ultraviolet rays leads electrons existent in a floating gate into a state with high energy by being excited by the ultraviolet rays, which electrons are then emitted from the floating gate. As a result, the threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor decreases, and the dispersion becomes small.

Figure 3 shows an r-) FAMos type EPRO with a length of 3 μm.
Taking M as an example, the vT of the memory cell transistor before and after UV irradiation is plotted.VT before UV irradiation varies from 1.54V to 3.40V, but for this wafer When irradiated with a mercury lamp (ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 2537) for 30 minutes, VT is 1.48V to 1.

Because it has a gate gate structure, electrons are accumulated in the gate gate due to damage such as noise and thermal stress during the manufacturing process, and main stitching, resulting in fluctuations in the VT of the memory cell transistor. This is because the amount of accumulated electrons varies, resulting in variations in VT.
