Description of the invention () The basic storage cell of the erasable and programmable read-only memory contains a storage transistor with a double gate, which makes the floating gate The floating gate is surrounded by a dielectric, and is capacitively coupled to a control gate stacked thereon. The erasable and programmable read-only memory further includes an access transistor 'or a selection transistor as a control element. In these erasable and programmable memories, data storage (called programming) and erasure are achieved by charging and discharging the floating gate. For example, erasable and programmable read-only memory injects the hot electrons from the drain of selected memory cells into the floating gate for data writing, and accelerates the charge in the floating gate with ultraviolet or X-rays to make it Exit to erase the written data. The erasable, programmable read-only memory and most flash memory can use hot electron flow injection or cold electron tunneling effect called F1 ower-Norddhei η tunneling for data The data is erased by using a Flower-Nordheim tunneling to drive electrons from the floating gate to the source.

Electron Devices, Vo I. 43, p. 287, 1996), due to the rapid diffusion of oxygen molecules at grain boundaries, Therefore, there is a faster oxidation rate, and the resulting silicon oxide layer 18 will form a textured silicon-silicon oxide interface. Such a rough interface causes a local high electric field, which increases the electron flow injected from the substrate 2 into the oxide layer. Therefore, compared with the traditional tunneling oxide layer, the structure, using a thin oxide layer 18 with a rough surface as the tunneling oxide layer can increase the efficiency of electron injection, reduce the charge capture rate, and increase the charge collapse. As shown in the ninth figure, a conductive layer 20 is deposited on the substrate 2, and the conductive layer 20 may be made of doped or synchronously doped polycrystalline silicon and formed by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method. Next, a standard lithography process is used to define the floating gate pattern on the conductive layer 20, and Cl2, HBr > SF6 or SiCl4 is used as the etching plasma source, and the polycrystalline silicon layer is anisotropically etched to form the floating gate. The pole 20 is on the active region and part of the field oxidation isolation region. In the tenth figure, an ultra-thin inner polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 22 is deposited on the surface of the floating gate 20. Here, the polycrystalline silicon dielectric layer 22 may use a pentamed two-sided (T a 2 05), a barium strontium titanate (BST), and a composite film (ON) composed of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. , Or a triple film consisting of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and silicon oxide.

Description of the invention () (〇 二) is the material. Finally, referring to the eleventh figure, the electric layer is deposited and etched to form a control gate. This control gate The poles can also be doped or synchronously doped polycrystalline hair as the material and formed by the low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method. According to the square enamel mentioned above, the present invention completes the bursting property of a rough surface tunneling oxide layer. As shown at the tenth time, this memory structure contains-non-penetrating and oxidizing to form 12. The tunneling oxide layers 18 on the conductor substrate 2 are formed on both sides of the non-tunneling oxide layer 12, and impurities are doped. The impurity region 14 is formed under the tunneling oxide layer in the semiconductor substrate 2 as a source A pole and a drain; a floating gate 20 is formed on the non-tunneling oxide layer 12 and a tunnelling layer 18; an internal dielectric layer 22 is formed on the floating gate 20; and—the control gate 24 is formed on the inner dielectric layer 22. The above-mentioned tunneling oxide layer 18 has rough upper and lower surfaces, which can generate a high region j electric field, increase the electron flow efficiency, reduce the charge trapping rate and increase the charge collapse. The tunneling oxide layer 18 having a rough surface can achieve the same tunneling mud under the condition that the area of the conventional tunneling structure is smaller than that of the conventional tunneling structure. Therefore, a non-volatile recording body with high density and high operational selectivity can be manufactured. _ ~ The Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has set out the precise limit.
