Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a method for making non-volatile memory, in particular-a method for making SPVG SONOS type memory. [Prior art] Non-volatile memory is widely used because it does not lose stored data due to power interruption. And according to the unit memory cell's storage level, it can be divided into single-bit storage non-volatile memory, such as Nitride Read_Only-Memory (NROM for short). ), Metal-Silicon Oxide-Nitride Stone Oxide-Oxide Stone-Silicon (Metal-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (abbreviated as MONOS)) (Silicon-Oxide_Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (SONOS for short)) Memory 'and dual-bit storage non-volatile memory, such as split program virtual ground SONOS (SPVG for short) SONOS) memory or separate program virtual ground MONOS type (SPVG MONOS for short) Lu Jiyi's' SPVG SONOS type memory and SPVG MONOS type memory cell can store two Bit information, so compared to the general single-bit storage non-volatile memory can store a larger amount of σ pores' has gradually become the mainstream of non-volatile memory. 1237349 Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figures 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of a SPVG SONOS type memory 10. Figure 1 shows the SpVGSONOS type 5 memory module 10 during programming operation. Schematic diagram, the second diagram is a schematic diagram of the erasing operation of the SPVG SONOS memory 10, and in order to clearly explain the structure and operating principle of the SPVG SONOS memory 10, only the first diagram and the second diagram are shown A single memory cell. As shown in Fig. 1, the SPVG SONOS type memory 10 is formed on a p 4 doped well 12 which mainly includes a selective gate 14 and a two N-type buried type. A buried bit line is located in the P-type doped well 12 on the opposite side of the selection gate 14 and serves as a source 16 and a drain 18, respectively. A gate insulating layer 20 is included between the selection gate 14 and the P-type doped well 12, and a cap layer 22 is included above the selection gate 14. In addition, the sidewall of the selection gate 14 includes a bottom silicon oxide layer 24, a silicon nitride layer 20, and a top silicon oxide layer 28 in this order. The silicon nitride layer 26 is used as a storage for capturing electrons or holes. medium. In addition, a word line 30 is included above the top silicon oxide layer 28. As shown in FIG. 1, the SPVG SONOS type memory 10 uses a source side injection (source_sideinjection) mechanism during programming operations, and its voltage operation is to apply a high positive voltage to the word line 30, such as 6 A voltage of 9V 'applies a low positive voltage to the selection gate 14, such as lv, and a positive voltage, such as 4.5V, to the source 18, and maintains the 1237349 voltage of the p-type doped well 12 and the drain 16 at 0V. Under this condition, the electrons passing through the channel under the selection gate 14 will be captured and trapped in the silicon nitride layer 26 on one side of the source 18 (as shown by the arrow in the figure). This is changed to different threshold voltages to achieve the function of storing data. In addition, through similar reverse voltage operation, the electronic circuit can be trapped in the silicon nitride layer 26 on one side of the drain 16 to store another bit of data and form a two-bit storage memory. As shown in FIG. 2, when the SPVGSONOS type memory 10 performs an erasing operation, a band-to-band hot hole injection mechanism is used. The voltage operation is to apply a high voltage to the word line 30. Negative voltage, such as -6 to -9V, applying a positive voltage to source 18, such as 4.5V, will select the voltage of gate 14 lower than the starting voltage, and make P-type doped well 12 and the drain The voltage of 16 is maintained at 0V. Under this condition, the holes in the P-type doped well 12 will be injected into the silicon nitride layer 26 on one side of the source 18 and neutralize the electrons trapped in the silicon nitride layer 26, thereby achieving the data erasure effect. In addition, electrons trapped in the nitride nitride layer 26 on one side of the electrode 16 can be neutralized by a similar voltage operation. Please refer to Fig. 3 to Fig. 6. Fig. 3 to Fig. 6 are the schematic diagrams of the conventional method for making SPVG S0N0S type memory. For the convenience of explanation, only part of the memory cells are shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 3, first, a semiconductor substrate 50 ′ is provided. The semiconductor substrate 50 ′ includes a P-type doped well 52, a plurality of selective gate 1237349 pole structures 54 are formed on the surface of the P-type doped well 52, and each gate structure 54 is selected. From bottom to top, a gate insulating layer 56, a selective gate 58 and a cap layer 60 are included in order. The gate insulating layer 56 is composed of a silicon oxide layer formed by a thermal oxidation process or a deposition process. The electrode 58 is a polycrystalline layer, and the cap layer 60 is a nitrided layer or a polycide. As shown in FIG. 4, it is followed by the semiconductor substrate 50 and the selective gate structure 54. A bottom oxide layer 64, a nitride layer 66, and a silicon oxide layer 68 are sequentially formed on the surface to form a silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon oxide (0N0) composite dielectric layer 62. A silicon oxide layer 70 is then deposited on the surface of the top silicon oxide layer 68 to form a subsequent sacrificial spacer. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, an etching process is performed, and the silicon oxide layer 70 is etched down to form a sacrificial sidewall sub-structure 72, and the composite dielectric layer 62 between the sacrificial sidewall sub-structures 72 is etched at the same time. Up to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 50, an opening 74 is formed above the P-type doped well 52 between the selected gate structures 54. Next, an ion implantation process is performed. Ion implantation is performed through the openings 74 to form a plurality of N-type doped regions 76 in the P-type doped well 52 as buried bit lines. Subsequently, an insulating layer (not shown) is deposited on the surface of the top silicon oxide layer 68 and the N-type doped region 76, and an etching process is performed to form a barrier film 1237349 over each N-type doped region 76. (blO Ckingfilm) 78. As shown in FIG. 6, a lithography process is performed, the sacrificial sidewall substructure 72 is removed, and finally a polycrystalline silicon layer 80 is fully deposited, and a lithography and silver engraving process is used to define the character line 80 to complete the exercise. Know the production of SpVG SONOS memory. However, the aforementioned conventional method for making SPVG sonos memory is to first form a composite dielectric layer 62 and then perform an ion implantation process to form an N-type doped region 76, so it is not only necessary to form an N-type doped region 76. Before the doped region%, the composite dielectric layer 62 between the sacrificial sidewall substructures 72 is removed, and a resistive film 78 must be formed before the sub-line 80 is formed, or the sacrificial sidewall substructures are removed. After 72, another silicon oxide layer is formed to prevent the word line 80 from forming a short circuit with the N-type doped region (buried bit line) 76, so that the spVG SONOS type memory cannot operate normally. In addition, even though the conventional technology has used the method of forming a blocking film 78 to avoid the occurrence of a short circuit problem, the composite dielectric layer 62 above the N-type doped region 76 is incomplete, or residual etching stress and etching uniformity, etc. Because of this, when the SPVG SONOS type memory is being erased, the word line 80 and the embedded bit line need a larger voltage difference, or they are prone to leakage current, so it is very easy to cause the word Meta-wires and embedded bit-wires are subject to wear and so on, which reduces the reliability of Spvg SONOS memory. In view of this, the applicant based on these shortcomings and based on years of experience in the semiconductor 1237349 industry, carefully observed and researched, and proposed an improved invention to improve the reliability and yield of SPVG SONOS memory. . [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for making SPVG SON0s Lu Ji 丨 thinking body 'in order to solve the problems that conventional techniques cannot overcome. To achieve the above object, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method for making an SPVG SONOS type memory. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided. The semiconductor substrate includes at least one first conductive type doped well located in the semiconductor substrate, and a plurality of parallel and non-contact selective gate structures are located on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Then, a plurality of sacrificial spacer sub-structures are formed on the opposite sidewalls of the selected gate structures, and the sacrificial sidewall sub-structures are used as a mask to perform an ion implantation process for each of the selected gates. A first conductive type doped region is formed in each of the semiconductor substrates between the structures. Subsequently, the sacrificial sidewall substructures are removed, and a composite dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate and the surface of the selected gate structure. Finally, a plurality of non-contacting word lines are formed on the surface of the composite dielectric layer and are orthogonal to each of the gate structures.
