본 발명은 낸드 플래쉬 메모리 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히, 플로 팅 게이트의 정전용량을 증가시켜 프로그램 속도를 향상시키기 위한 낸드 플래쉬 메모리 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a NAND flash memory device, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a NAND flash memory device for increasing a program speed by increasing capacitance of a floating gate.
비휘발성의 플래쉬 메모리 소자는 플로팅 게이트와 컨트롤 게이트의 2개의 게이트로 형성되어 있고, 플로팅 게이트의 하단엔 터널 산화막이, 상단엔 유전체막이 각각 형성되어 있다. 소자의 집적도가 높아짐에 따라 소자 동작 중의 빠른 라이트 타임(write time)과 높은 데이터 신뢰도가 요구되는데, 이를 위해 플로팅 게이트의 정전용량을 증가시켜야 한다.The nonvolatile flash memory device is formed of two gates, a floating gate and a control gate. A tunnel oxide film is formed at the bottom of the floating gate and a dielectric film is formed at the top thereof. As the device density increases, fast write time and high data reliability during device operation are required. For this purpose, the capacitance of the floating gate needs to be increased.
그러나, 고유전 물질을 적용하여 정전용량을 증가 시키면, 열악한 인터페이스 트랩(interface trap) 특성과 급격한 문턱전압(vt)의 변화(shift)등으로 소자의 신뢰성을 저하시켜 적용이 어렵다. 또한, 유전체막 두께를 감소시켜 플로팅 게이트의 정전용량을 증가 시키면, 파괴전압(breakdown)의 감소로 데이터 페일에 직접적인 영향을 주기 때문에 유전체막의 두께를 감소시키는데는 한계가 있다.However, if the capacitance is increased by applying a high dielectric material, it is difficult to apply the device due to poor interface trap characteristics and sudden shifts in threshold voltage (vt). In addition, increasing the capacitance of the floating gate by reducing the thickness of the dielectric film has a limitation in reducing the thickness of the dielectric film because it directly affects data failure due to a decrease in breakdown voltage.
상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 본 발명의 목적은 플로팅 게이트의 정전 용량을 증가시켜 소자의 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위한 낸드 플래쉬 메모리 소자의 제조방법을 제공하는데 있다.An object of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a method of manufacturing a NAND flash memory device for increasing the capacitance of the floating gate to improve the reliability of the device.
본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 낸드 플래쉬 메모리 소자의 제조방법은, 소자분 리막이 형성된 반도체 기판 상부에 터널 산화막, 도전막을 증착 시킨 후, 상기 도전막을 식각하는 단계와, 상기 도전막 사이가 매립되도록 산화막을 형성한 후, 상기 도전막이 노출될 때까지 연마하여 평탄화시키는 단계와, 상기 도전막 중심 부분을 식각하여 리세스 패턴을 형성한 후, 상기 산화막을 제거하여 3차원의 플로팅 게이트를 형성하는 단계와, 전체 구조 상부에 유전체막을 형성하고, 폴리실리콘막, 메탈막 및 하드 마스크막을 순차적으로 형성한 후, 패터닝하여 컨트롤 게이트를 형성하는 단계를 포함하는 낸드 플래쉬 메모리 소자의 제조방법을 제공한다.According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a NAND flash memory device includes depositing a tunnel oxide film and a conductive film on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate on which a device isolation film is formed, and then etching the conductive film and filling the gap between the conductive films. Forming an oxide film, polishing and planarizing the conductive film until the conductive film is exposed, etching a center portion of the conductive film to form a recess pattern, and then removing the oxide film to form a three-dimensional floating gate And forming a dielectric film over the entire structure, and sequentially forming a polysilicon film, a metal film, and a hard mask film, and then patterning the control gate to form a control gate.
