Description of the Invention (I) The present invention relates to a type of memory, and in particular to a one-time programmable read-only memory (〇ne Time Pr〇grammable Read 〇nly Memory; OTP -ROM). As the capabilities of computer microprocessors become more and more powerful, and the programs and calculations performed by software become more and more huge, the demand for memory will also increase. Therefore, how to make large-capacity and cheap memory to meet this demand has become a major issue for semiconductor manufacturers. According to the difference of read / write function, memory can be simply divided into two types: Read Only Memory (ROM) and Random Access Memory. Among them, the read-only memory can only perform the action of “read”, while the random access memory has the dual functions of “read” and “write”. According to the method of data storage, the read-only memory can generally be subdivided into Mask ROM and Programmable ROM (PROM). 'Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM), electronic erasable programmable read-only memory (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM; EEPROM), etc., while random access memory can be subdivided into static random access according to how data is processed in the memory Memory (Static RAM; SRAM) and dynamic random access memory (Dynamic RAM; DRAM). Read-only memory has been widely used in digital devices such as mini computers and microprocessor systems. It can be used to store some system data, such as resident programs such as BIOS. Because the process of read-only memory (referred to as ROM) is very complicated 'and requires a lot of time-consuming steps and materials processing, therefore,' customers usually first give program data to the memory manufacturing factory, and then this paper size applies Chinese national standards (Cns) μ Regulations (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page)

Description of Invention (>) The factory encodes it in read-only memory to make a finished product. Most of the read-only memory components have the same structure except for the data stored in the programming phase. Therefore, the read-only memory can be made to the steps before programming, and this is not programmed. After the semi-finished products are in stock, after the customer sends an order of a specific program, the photomask can be quickly made for programming, and then shipped to the customer. Therefore, the above-mentioned post-programmed photomask-based read-only memory has become the industry's usual method. -The commonly used read-only memory system uses channel transistors as memory cells, and in the programming stage, selectively implants impurities into designated channel regions to change the threshold voltage and To achieve the purpose of controlling the memory unit to be turned ON or OFF. Among the structural parts of the read-only memory, the polycrystalline silicon word line WL (Word Line) crosses the bit line BL (Bit Line), and the channel of the memory cell is formed below the word line WL and the bit line The area between BL. The read-only memory is to store the second-order bit data by the ion implantation of the channel or not. The first figure is a diagram showing the layout of the conventional programmable read-only memory (Lay Out). . FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view obtained from the direction of the cross-section of FIG. 1-I, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view obtained from the direction of the cross-section of FIG. 1-II.

Description of the invention o), for example, using a wet etching method to remove the pad oxide layer. Next, for example, a thermal oxidation method is used to form an oxide layer 12 on the surface of the element region. A layer of polycrystalline silicon is then formed on the oxide layer 12 using, for example, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. The polycrystalline silicon material is then defined using a lithographic etching technique to form a polycrystalline sand layer 16. Then, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit an inter-polydielectric layer (16) covering the polycrystalline sand layer 16. Then, another layer of polycrystalline silicon material is formed on the polycrystalline silicon dielectric material by using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. Next, the lithographic etching technology is used to define this layer of polycrystalline silicon material and the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric material is etched down to form a polycrystalline silicon layer 20 and an inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 18. Then, using the lithography etching technology and using the polycrystalline silicon layer 20 as a mask, an etching step is performed to further define the polycrystalline silicon layer 16. Next, the polysilicon layer 20 is also used as a mask to perform an ion implantation step, and a relatively dense ion is implanted to form an ion implantation region 22. A dielectric layer 24 is then deposited over the entire substrate structure, for example using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. A contact window 26 is formed on the dielectric layer 24 using a lithographic etching technique. For example, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit a metal layer 28 in the contact window 26 and contact the ion implantation region 22. Among them, the metal layer 28 is used as a bit line. Subsequent processes are then performed to complete the manufacture of the programmable read-only memory. However, this subsequent process can be easily achieved by those skilled in this art, so it will not be repeated here. However, this cell is limited by the size of the contact window, so it cannot be dramatically reduced. And because the field oxide layer is formed, the reduction scale is 5 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 cm) ϋ — u —It m In ^^^ 1 ^^^ 1 n fl ^^ i I ^^ 4.

Invention Explanation (f) is limited and the flatness is not good. If you want to define a pattern on this structure, for example, when dry etching is performed, due to the vertical thickness to be etched, some areas will be too thick and some areas will be too thin, which will cause uneven etching when uranium is etched. This makes it difficult to control the length of the appropriate etching time. Furthermore, since a metal layer needs to be inserted into the contact window for use as a bit line, interference from reflection of the metal layer cannot be avoided. Another type of conventional programmable read-only memory is to form a buried bit line under the field oxide layer to reduce the size. However, because of the field oxide layer, the programmable read-only memory has a limited size reduction and poor flatness. And its bit line is formed under the field oxide layer, so the resistance is high. Furthermore, in such a method of manufacturing a programmable read-only memory, since the field oxide layer is formed over the buried bit line, the bit line cannot be formed in a self-aligned manner. The main purpose is to provide a manufacturing method of programmable read-only memory to improve the shortcomings of conventional programmable read-only memory. According to the purpose of the present invention, a one-time programmable read-only memory is provided, which includes a stacked control gate, an inner metal dielectric layer, and a floating gate on a substrate. The substrate below both sides of the stacked structure has an ion implantation area, and a metal sand is formed on the ion implantation area. The inner metal dielectric layer includes an oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. The oxide layer covers the floating gate, and the silicon nitride layer includes a floating gate and a metal silicide. In addition, the control gate is a silicon nitride layer covering the inner metal dielectric layer. The feature of the present invention is to form the embedded bit 6 by self-alignment.

Description of the invention (y) line, so no additional photomask is needed, nor The contact window and the metal layer need to be formed, so there will be no interference from the reflection of the metal layer. In addition, the resistance 位 of the bit line in the present invention can be reduced by about 10 to 100 times than the resistance 位 of the bit line in the conventional art, so the performance can be greatly increased. In addition, no field oxide layer needs to be formed in the manufacturing process, so the one-time programmable read-only memory cell obtained according to the method of the present invention has better flatness and can be greatly reduced in size.

Then, for example, a sputtering method is used to form a metal layer 64 covering the entire surface of the base structure, including the surface covering the substrate 50, the spacer 62, and the oxide layer 56. The material of the metal layer 64 includes titanium. Referring to FIG. 5D, a rapid heating process is used to form a metal silicide layer 66 on the metal layer 64 in contact with the substrate 50. Therefore, if the material of the metal layer 64 is titanium, the metal silicide layer 66 is titanium silicide. Next, the remaining metal in the metal layer 64 that is not participating in the reaction is stripped. Please refer to FIG. 5E, and then, for example, plasma chemical vapor deposition is used to deposit a layer of silicon nitride 68 covering the entire surface of the substrate structure, including covering the oxide 56, the spacer 62, and the metal silicide layer 66. Next, a layer of polycrystalline silicon is formed on the silicon nitride layer 68, for example, using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. Among them, the silicon nitride layer 68 and the oxide layer 56 together form an inner metal dielectric layer. Then, use traditional lithographic etching techniques to define 9 more paper sizes.

Yinben 334 5twf.doc / 005 A / ___5Z_ 5. Description of the Invention (g) A crystalline silicon substance is used to form a polycrystalline silicon layer 70, which is used as a control gate. Then, using the polycrystalline silicon layer 70 as a mask, the polycrystalline silicon layer 54 is further etched downward, so that the polycrystalline silicon layer 54 becomes a floating gate. This is followed by an ion implantation step. The cross-sectional view taken along the IV-IV direction in Figure 4 is shown in Figure 6. Then, the subsequent process is performed to complete the manufacture of the programmable read-only memory. However, this follow-up process can be easily achieved by those skilled in this art, so it will not be repeated here. Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that the bit line can be aligned with the polycrystalline silicon layer 54 by itself, and the floating gate can be aligned with the polycrystalline silicon layer 70 by itself. The feature of the present invention is that the buried bit line can be aligned with the self-aligned polycrystalline silicon layer 54. In addition, since the metal silicide layer 66 is formed in the present invention, the resistance of the bit line can be compared with the bit in the conventional art. The line resistance 値 is reduced by 10 to 100 times, so the performance can be greatly increased. In this case, it is not necessary to form a contact window or penetrate the metal layer, so there is no interference from the reflection of the metal layer. In addition, a field oxide layer is not required to be formed in the process of the present invention. Therefore, the once-programmable read-only memory obtained according to the method of the present invention has better flatness and can be greatly reduced in size. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
