快閃記憶體(Flash Memory)是根據電腦的隨機存取記憶體 (RAM)所得到的靈感而研發的一種半導體技術,係一固態 的儲存系統,僅需非常少的電源就可以有效率的記憶區段 (Block)方式,瞬間可更改内部資料,且儲存完畢之後並 不需要任何的電源來保留資料。其他固態記憶體如唯讀記 憶體(Read Only Memory; R〇m)、靜/動態隨機存取記憶體 (SRAM/DRAM)、電子抹除式唯讀記憶體(ElectricaiiyFlash memory is a semiconductor technology developed based on the computer's random access memory (RAM). It is a solid-state storage system that requires only very little power to efficiently store memory. The block method can change the internal data instantly, and does not require any power to retain the data after storage. Other solid-state memories such as Read Only Memory (ROM), Static / Dynamic Random Access Memory (SRAM / DRAM), and Electronically-Erasable Read-Only Memory (Electricaiiy

Among these solid-state memories, flash memory has the characteristics of non-volatile, repeatable read and write, high density and durability, etc., becoming the best quality remaining media. According to the different memory transistor design architecture, it can be divided into two types: cell type (Cel i Type) and operation type (〇per ti 〇n Type). The cell type can be divided into self-aligned gate (Seif — A1 igned Gate (ie, Stack Gate) and Split Gate (Spiit Gate). In contrast, discrete gate flash memory components are more power efficient than stacked gate flash memory components, and the size of the integrated circuit is even smaller. Therefore, currently split flash memory has become a very popular memory element. In addition, as everything shrinks, the channel length (Channel

Length)會使電晶體的操作速度變快,但因通道縮短而衍 生的問題也會日益嚴重,此即所謂的短通道效應(Sh〇rt Channel Effect)。若施加的電壓不變,而電晶體的通道 長度縮短,根據電場(E. F)等於電壓(V)除以長度(L)的 么式(E · F - V / L )可以得知,通道内的電子的能量將會藉由 電場增強而提升,進而增加電崩潰(Electrical freakdow^)的情形。另一方面,若電晶體的通道長度不 變’而電壓增大’電場的強度也會增強,使得通道内的電 子能量提面’同樣會產生電崩潰的現象。 舉例而言’高密度數位影音光碟(Digital Versatiie D i s k ’ D V D )和液晶顯示器(LiqUid Crystal Display; LCD)的驅動器’需承受12伏特至3〇伏特的高電壓,一般係 利用隔離層和隔離層不方的漂移區(Drif t Regi〇n),來增 加源極/沒極區和閘極之間的距離,使元件在高電壓的狀 況下,仍能正常運作,此即為高電壓元件。 由於分離7極快閃記憶體和高電壓元件的製程各有其需求 與特性’分離問極快閃記憶體與高電壓元件通常是分別利 用不=的生,線,而製作於不同的晶片上。如果要將這兩 種製程整合是一個極大的挑戰,更耗費設計積體電路的成 本與時間。 'Length) will make the operating speed of the transistor faster, but the problems caused by the shortening of the channel will become increasingly serious. This is the so-called Short Channel Effect. If the applied voltage does not change and the channel length of the transistor is shortened, it can be known from the equation (E · F-V / L) that the electric field (E. F) is equal to the voltage (V) divided by the length (L). The energy of the internal electrons will be increased by the enhancement of the electric field, which will increase the situation of electrical freakdow ^. On the other hand, if the channel length of the transistor is not changed 'and the voltage is increased', the strength of the electric field will also increase, so that the increase in the energy of the electrons in the channel will also cause an electrical breakdown. For example, 'high-density digital video disc (DVD) and LiqUid Crystal Display (LCD) drives' need to withstand high voltages from 12 volts to 30 volts, generally using an isolation layer and an isolation layer The uneven drift region (Drif t RegiOn) increases the distance between the source / inverter region and the gate, so that the device can still work normally under high voltage conditions. This is a high voltage device. Because the process of separating 7-pin flash memory and high-voltage components has its own needs and characteristics, the separation of ultra-flash memory and high-voltage components is usually produced on different chips by using different lines and wires. . It is a great challenge to integrate these two processes, and it takes more time and cost to design integrated circuits. '

The flash memory area 4 is used to prevent the short circuit of the element 2A. After that, a separate gate flash memory H is deposited on the substrate 10: The gate electrode layer 18 'is generally composed of a polycrystalline silicon material.

However, in order to make the structure in the split-gate flash memory region 14 clearer, the present invention only shows the structure on a larger scale. Referring to FIG. 2, a mask layer 20 is formed by a chemical vapor deposition process, and covers the surface of the floating gate layer 18 of the high-voltage element region 12 and the separated gate flash memory region 14.

In the lithography etching process, the photoresist 22 is covered on the high-voltage element region 12 to protect the structure in the high-voltage element region 12. Referring to FIG. 4, the photoresist 2 2 in the high-voltage device region 12 and the split gate flash memory region 14 are removed. Then, a cleaning step may be selectively performed to remove residues or cleaning agents on the surfaces of the polycrystalline silicon layer 18 in the mask layer 20 and the openings 23 and 3.

Then, the dry gate etching or wet surface etching is used to remove the part of the high voltage element region 12 that does not cover the photoresist 26 and the mask layer 20 and the floating gate layer 18 below it. 77 If a tunneling oxide layer is first formed between the substrate 10 and the floating gate layer 丨 8, when the floating gate layer 18 is removed, a part of the tunneling oxide layer will also be etched, so at this time A slight amount of tunneling oxide may be exposed. In summary, the thickness of the tunneling oxide layer is only about 100 Å, and since this tunneling oxide layer is not the focus of the present invention, the present invention will not specifically describe it here. VIII. Please refer to Figure 6 to remove the photoresist 2 6 in the high-voltage element area 2 and the split-gate flash memory area 14. Next, another oxidation step is performed. An oxide layer 28 is formed on the exposed surface of the substrate 0 in the operating region of the high voltage element region 12. At the same time as this oxidation part, the oxide layer 24 originally shown in the opening 23 of the separation gate flash & body region 14 as shown in Fig. 5 will also be thickened by this to form an oxide layer 24a. Among them, the oxide layer 28 is a gate oxide layer of a high-voltage element. ^ In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is expected that the oxide layer 2 8 ′ is formed to a thickness of about 1,000. However, under the same conditions, the increased thickness of the oxide layer 2 4 to the oxide layer 2 4 a will not equal 1 〇〇〇A. This is due to the presence of the oxidized layer 24 in the opening 23, which will cause the oxidation rate to be inferior to that of the oxidized layer. Come fast. Therefore, under the same process conditions and time, the oxide layer 24a in the opening 23 includes the previously formed total thickness', which is only about 1700 Å.

Next, in the high-voltage element region 12 and the separated gate flash memory region 14, all the floating gate layers 18 are removed, and only the oxide layer 24 a in the separated gate flash memory region 14 remains. Under the floating gate layer 18. The floating gate layer 18 retained in this part is the floating gate used as the flash memory of the separation gate. And in the step of removing the floating gate layer 18, in order to protect the oxide layer 2 8 of the high-voltage element region 12, a photoresist 30 can be selectively covered thereon to avoid the etchant and the oxide layer 2 8 surface contact, so as to obtain better quality of the oxide layer 2 8. Since the steps of FIG. 7 are completed, the features of the present invention have been completed. However, a subsequent process may be further performed to complete the production of the high-voltage device and the separate gate flash memory, as shown in FIG. 8. For example, referring to FIG. 8, a deposition and lithography process can be performed to form a gate layer 32 in the high-voltage element region 14 and the separated gate flash memory region 14, which is generally made of a polycrystalline silicon material. Made up. Among them, a part of the gate layer 32 is partially overlapped with the oxide layer 28 of the operating region of the high-voltage element region 12 and serves as a gate of the high-voltage element. In addition, a part of the gate layer 32 is superposed on the oxide layer 24a of the divided gate flash memory region 14 to serve as a control gate of the separated gate flash memory.

Description of the invention (9) The domain is the source part of the high-voltage component, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 32 is located between the source and the drain. A portion having several field oxide layers 16 and several P II domains on the left side of the high-voltage element region 12 is another circuit structure. Since this portion is not the focus of the present invention, the present invention is not described here and will not be described in detail here. Limited to this. In addition, the present invention does not show the source and drain portions of the split-gate flash memory in the split-gate flash memory region 14 of FIG. 8. Generally, the source and the drain are separated. The two sides of the gate flash memory, that is, the positions of the first oxide layer 24a, the polycrystalline silicon layer 18, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 32 are between the source and the end. Since the floating gate layer is generally composed of a polycrystalline silicon material, when the above method of the present invention is used for manufacturing, in the manufacturing steps of FIG. 6, the exposed sides of the floating gate layer 18 may also be simultaneously Oxidative thickening. To solve this problem, the present invention also proposes a manufacturing method here. First, before the mask layer 20 is formed in the high-voltage device region 12 and the gate flash memory region 14 (before the step in FIG. 2), the lithography and etching process is used to define the high-voltage device region. In the middle of the operation area, the cover layer 20 is formed on the structure. At this time, there is only the cover layer 20 in the operation area. Then, when the lithography and etching processes are used again to define the operating area in the high-voltage element area 12 (step in FIG. 5), the position of the photoresist 26 can be controlled to slightly protrude from the floating gate layer 18 In the operating area. Therefore, by reuse. In the structure shown in FIG. 6, the side of the floating gate layer 18 can be protected by the cover layer 20 without being exposed to the oxidizing environment. During the manufacturing process of the split gate flash memory device, a thicker oxide layer needs to be formed.
