Abstract

An one time programmable read only memory has a spacer only located on the sidewall of the polysilicon at the peripheral circuit region, but not located at the memory cell region, thereby enhancing the programming efficiency. Also, extra ion implantation with a higher concentration is not required to compensate the programming efficiency reduced by the spacer. In addition, It can avoid damaging the field oxide layer at the step of back etching required in the spacer formation. Thus, the current leakage can be avoided.

Description of the invention (1) Quality. The lithographic melting technique is then used to define this layer of polycrystalline sand material to form a polycrystalline sand layer 116. Then, for example, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit an inter-poly silicon dielectric layer, covering the polycrystalline sand layer 116. 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, lithographic etching technology is used to define this layer of polycrystalline silicon material and then etch the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric material down to form the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 and the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 118. The polycrystalline silicon layer 120 is also formed on the element region of the peripheral circuit region. Then, for example, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit a layer of oxide material to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate structure. Next, an etch-back method is used so that this layer of oxide material forms a partition wall 128 on the sidewalls of the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 of the NMOS device region 107 and the PMOS device region 108. At the same time, this etch-back step also forms a spacer 128 on the sidewalls of the polycrystalline silicon layer 120, the dielectric layer 118, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 116 in the memory area 109. Referring to FIG. 2B, the polysilicon layer 116 is further defined by using the lithography etching technique and using the polysilicon layer 120 as a mask to perform an etching step. Among them, the polycrystalline silicon layer 116 serves as a floating gate, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 serves as a control gate, that is, a word line.

Description of the Invention (/) The present invention relates to a memory, and in particular to A type of One Time Programmable Read Only Memory (OTP-ROM). As the functions of computer microprocessors become more and more powerful, and the programs and calculations performed by software become more and more massive, 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, the 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, Programmable ROM (PROM), and Programmable ROM (Erasable) Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM), Electronic Erasable Programmable ROM (EEPROM), etc. 'and random access memory can be subdivided into static random access according to how data is processed in the memory Memory and dynamic random access memory (Dynamic RAM; DRAM). The read-only gB memory has been widely used in digital devices such as mini computers, microprocessor systems, etc. It can be used to store some system data, such as resident programs such as BIOS. Because the manufacturing process of read-only memory (referred to as ROM) is very complicated, and requires many time-consuming steps and material processing, customers usually first give program data to the memory manufacturing factory, and then ---- ----— Installation ------ Order ----- ^ 0 (.

Doc / 006 8 7 _____B7____ V. Description of the invention (x) The factory encodes it in a 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 the channel transistor as a memory cell, and in the programming stage, selectively implants impurities into the designated channel area to achieve control by changing the threshold voltage. The purpose of the memory unit being ON (ON) or OFF (OFF). Among the structural parts of the read-only memory, the polysilicon 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 uses the channel's ion implantation or not to store the second-order bit data > 0 ", so that the 1st, 1B, and 1C diagrams show the conventional programmable read-only memory. Manufacturing process section. Among them, Figs. 1B and 1C have the same cross-sectional direction, and both are perpendicular to the cross-sectional direction of Fig. 1A. Referring to FIG. 1A at the same time, first, a substrate 10 is provided. A memory cell region 9 and a peripheral circuit region have been defined on the substrate 10. The peripheral circuit region includes an NMOS element region 7 and a PMOS element region 8. Among them, an N-type well region 11 has been formed in the substrate 10 of the PMOS element region 8. A thermal oxidation method is then used to form a pad oxide layer (not shown) on the substrate 10. Then for example make 4 (please read the note 1 on the back before filling in this page) • Install.

Description of the Invention (ii) A field oxide layer 14 (Field Oxide Layer) is formed on the substrate 10 by an area oxidation method to define an active area. Then, the pad oxide layer is removed using, for example, a wet etching method. Next, an oxide layer 12 is formed on the surface of the element region by a thermal oxidation method. A layer of polycrystalline sand material is then formed on this oxide layer 12 using, for example, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method. Lithographic etching technology is then used to define this layer of polycrystalline silicon material to form a polycrystalline sand layer 16. Then, for example, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit an inter-poly-dielectric layer (Inter-poly Dielectric Layer) to cover the polycrystalline sand layer μ. 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 lithography etching technology is used to define the polycrystalline silicon material of the stopper layer and the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric material is etched downward to form the & crystalline silicon layer 20 and the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 18. The polycrystalline silicon layer 20 is also formed on the element area of the peripheral circuit area. Referring to FIG. 1B, the polysilicon layer 16 is further defined by performing an etching step using a lithographic etching technique and using polycrystalline silicon 20 as a mask. Then, the peripheral circuit area is covered with a curtain, and the memory cell area 9 is exposed. Next, the N-type ion implantation step is also performed using the polycrystalline silicon layer 20 as a mask, and the polycrystalline silicon layer is self-aligned and implanted with a higher concentration of ions to form an ion cloth. Then, another memory screen is used to cover the memory cell region 9 and the PMOS element region 8 and a conventional N-type ion implantation step is performed to form a lighter N-type ion implantation region 24 in the substrate of the NMOS element region 7 , Then remove this mask. Then, another memory curtain is used to cover the memory cell region 9 and the NMOS element region 7, and a conventional P-type ion implantation step is performed, and a lighter-type P-type ion implantation region 26 is formed in the substrate of the PMOS element region 8. , And then shift 5 paper standards to apply Chinese Standards for Households (CNS) A4 Zhuge (210X297 Gong) IIIIII Order I) line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Staff consumption of the Central Bureau of Probationary Affairs of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Cooperative Du Printing 2756twf.doc / 006 A7 B7 Yin Fan, Cooperative Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, 5. Description of Invention (Sub). Please refer to FIG. 1C. For example, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit an oxide layer to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate structure. Next, an etch-back method is used so that this layer of oxide material forms a spacer 28 on the sidewalls of the polycrystalline silicon layer 20 in the NMOS device region 7 and the PMOS device region 8 ^ At the same time, this etch-back step also forms a polycrystalline silicon layer in the memory region 9 20. A spacer 28 is formed on a sidewall of the dielectric layer 18 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 16. Then, the NMOS element region 7 is covered with a mask, and a conventional ion implantation step is performed to form a P-type ion implantation region 30 with a higher concentration in the substrate of the PMOS element region 8. Then, the mask is removed. The PMOS device region 8 is covered with another mask, and an ion implantation step is performed to form a N-type ion implantation region 32 with a higher concentration in the substrate of the NMOS device region 7. This ion implantation step also forms a N-type ion implantation region 34 with a higher concentration in the base of the memory cell region 9. Then, the subsequent steps are performed to complete the manufacture of the programmable read-only memory. This follow-up process can be easily achieved by those skilled in this art, so I will not go into details here. The conventional programmable read-only memory has a partition wall structure 28, which reduces programming efficiency. Although the formation of the N-type ion implantation region 34 with a higher concentration can remedy a part of the process, the process becomes more complicated. In addition, because the gap wall will be formed in the memory cell area, an etch-back step is unavoidable and inevitable, so this etch-back step will cause damage to the polycrystalline surface and field oxide layer in the memory cell area, resulting in Missing current. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a program that can be programmed only once.

Description of the invention (彡). Read Memory access to improve the shortcomings of conventional programmable read-only memory. According to the purpose of the present invention, a single-programmable read-only access memory is provided, which includes a floating gate, a dielectric layer, and a control gate stacked on the substrate from bottom to top. In this memory structure, the sidewalls of the 'floating gate, dielectric layer, and control gate do not have a gap wall. And the ―-ion implantation area is located in the base below both sides of the floating gate. In the programmable read-only access memory structure of the present invention, the gap wall is only located on the side wall of the polycrystalline silicon layer in the peripheral circuit area, and is not located in the memory cell area, so the programming efficiency can be increased. The one-time programmable read-only memory structure of the present invention can simplify the manufacturing process, and because the gap wall does not intervene in the memory cell area, it is not necessary to implant more concentrated ions to compensate for the reduced programming efficiency of the gap wall. In addition, because the bulkhead is formed before the polysilicon layer is defined to form a floating gate structure. Therefore, the field oxide layer can be prevented from being damaged during the etch-back step required to form the spacer, and thus a leakage current can be avoided. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description is as follows: · Brief description of the drawings: Figure 1A to FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view showing a manufacturing process of a conventional programmable read-only memory; and FIGS. 2A to 2C are drawings showing a one-time programmable read-only memory according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention Manufacturing process cross-section.

Description of the invention (1) Quality. The lithographic melting technique is then used to define this layer of polycrystalline sand material to form a polycrystalline sand layer 116. Then, for example, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit an inter-poly silicon dielectric layer, covering the polycrystalline sand layer 116. 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, lithographic etching technology is used to define this layer of polycrystalline silicon material and then etch the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric material down to form the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 and the inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 118. The polycrystalline silicon layer 120 is also formed on the element region of the peripheral circuit region. Then, for example, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used to deposit a layer of oxide material to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate structure. Next, an etch-back method is used so that this layer of oxide material forms a partition wall 128 on the sidewalls of the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 of the NMOS device region 107 and the PMOS device region 108. At the same time, this etch-back step also forms a spacer 128 on the sidewalls of the polycrystalline silicon layer 120, the dielectric layer 118, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 116 in the memory area 109. Referring to FIG. 2B, the polysilicon layer 116 is further defined by using the lithography etching technique and using the polysilicon layer 120 as a mask to perform an etching step. Among them, the polycrystalline silicon layer 116 serves as a floating gate, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 serves as a control gate, that is, a word line. Next, another memory screen is used to cover the memory cell region 109 and the PMOS device region 108, and a conventional N-type ion implantation step is performed to form a lighter N-type ion implantation region 124 in the substrate of the NMOS device region 107. , Then remove this mask. Then, another memory screen is used to cover the memory cell region 109 and the NMOS element region 107, and a conventional P-type ion implantation step is performed, and a lighter-type P-type ion implantation region 126 is formed in the substrate of the PMOS element region 108. , Then remove this mask.

Description of the invention (i?) General P-type or N-type ion implantation steps, Including the use of slightly inclined ion implantation angle. Referring to FIG. 2C, the NMOS device region 107 is covered with a mask, and a conventional ion implantation step is performed to form a thicker P-type ion implantation region 130 in the substrate of the PMOS device region 108. Then, Remove this mask. The PMOS device region 108 is covered with another mask, and an ion implantation step is performed to form N-type ion implantation regions 132 and 122 with a higher concentration in the substrates of the NMOS device region 107 and the memory device region 109. Then, the subsequent steps are performed to complete the manufacture of a programmable read-only memory. This subsequent process can be easily achieved by those skilled in this art, so it will not be repeated here. In the one-time programmable read-only memory structure of the present invention, the gap wall is only located on the side wall of the polycrystalline silicon layer 120 in the peripheral circuit area, and is not located in the memory cell area, so the programming efficiency can be increased. In addition, the present invention can simplify the manufacturing process, because the gap wall does not intervene in the memory cell region, so it is not necessary to additionally implant N-type ions with a higher concentration to compensate for the reduced programming efficiency of the gap wall. In addition, because the partition wall 128 was formed before the polycrystalline sand layer 116 was defined to form the floating gate structure. Therefore, it is possible to avoid damaging the field oxide layer 114 during the etch-back step required to form the spacer 128, and thus to prevent a leakage current. 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. 10 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇 X 297 public love) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Binding! | Order ---------
