- the height of the first gate electrode from the substrate surface is higher than the height of the second gate electrode from the substrate surface or the height of the gate electrode of the transistor formed in the peripheral circuit from the substrate surface.
- a memory cell transistor having a low-processed structure is disclosed.

A method of making contact with a wiring portion filled with self-alignment is disclosed.

- a method of forming a connection hole in a self-alignment manner by forming a silicon nitride film on the top and side walls of a gate electrode of a memory cell selection MISFET is disclosed.
- an EEPROM ElectricallyrasErasable Programmable Read Only Memory
- polycrystalline silicon As an electrically rewritable non-volatile memory, an EEPROM (ElectricallyrasErasable Programmable Read Only Memory) using polycrystalline silicon as a floating electrode is mainly used.
- the charge storage layer is a conductor, so all charges stored in the storage node are lost due to abnormal leakage. May end up. In particular, it is considered that this problem will become more prominent when miniaturization progresses and the degree of integration improves.
- MONOS type nonvolatile memory cells using a nitride film as a charge storage layer have attracted attention.
- the charge that contributes to data storage is accumulated in the discrete trap of the nitride film, which is an insulator. Therefore, even if a defect occurs in some part of the oxide film surrounding the accumulation node and an abnormal leak occurs, the charge Since all the charges in the accumulation layer are not lost, the reliability of data retention can be improved.
- a single transistor memory cell has been proposed as a MONOS type nonvolatile memory cell. Since the memory cell having this structure is more susceptible to disturbance than the EEPROM memory cell, a two-transistor split-gate memory cell having a select gate electrode has also been proposed.
- the MONOS type nonvolatile memory cell having the split gate structure has various technical problems described below.
- MONOS type non-volatile memory cells having a split gate structure include a memory cell in which a side wall-shaped memory gate electrode is provided by self-alignment on the side surface of a selection gate electrode.
- the memory gate electrode is formed using a photoresist mask. A finer memory cell can be realized as compared with the memory cell.
- a pad electrode 51 made of a conductive film in the same layer as the memory gate electrode MG is used for electrical extraction to the outside. That is, the side wall-shaped memory gate electrode MG is formed on the side wall of the selection gate electrode CG by self-alignment, and at the same time, the pad electrode 51 is formed using a photoresist mask in the power supply region (shunt portion) of the memory gate electrode MG. Thereafter, a contact hole 52 reaching the pad electrode 51 is formed in the interlayer insulating film formed on the memory gate electrode MG. The memory gate electrode MG and the conductive film embedded in the contact hole 52 are electrically connected.
- the pad electrode 51 has a shape that rides on the selection gate electrode CG in consideration of an alignment margin between the memory gate electrode MG and the pad electrode 51, a dimensional variation margin, and the like.
- the pad electrode 51 is formed so as to cover the step portion of the selection gate electrode CG, in the photolithography for forming the photoresist mask, a focus shift due to the step occurs, and the processing accuracy of the photoresist mask deteriorates. As a result, a defective shape of the pad electrode 51 may occur.
- the area of the planar shape of the pad electrode 51 should be reduced. It is difficult to reduce the area of the power supply region.
- the thickness of the photoresist applied on the upper surface of the conductive film riding on the selection gate electrode CG is larger than the thickness of the photoresist applied on the upper surface of the conductive film riding on the selection gate electrode CG. getting thin. Therefore, in the dry etching of the conductive film using this photoresist as a mask, the photoresist applied on the upper surface of the conductive film that has run on the selection gate electrode CG is applied to the surface other than the upper surface of the conductive film that has run on the selection gate electrode CG. There is also a problem that the conductive film that has been etched away earlier than the applied photoresist and that has been placed on the select gate electrode CG is scraped, resulting in a defective shape of the pad electrode 51. If a pad electrode having a predetermined shape cannot be obtained, the pad electrode 51 and the plug connected to the pad electrode 51 through the contact hole 52 become high resistance or non-conduction, and the manufacturing yield is lowered.

Abstract
Description
本発明の実施の形態1による不揮発性メモリセルの構造の一例を図1によって説明し、不揮発性メモリセルを構成するメモリゲート電極および選択ゲート電極の給電領域の構造の一例を図2および図3によって説明する。図1はチャネルをメモリゲート電極に対して交差する方向に沿って切断した不揮発性メモリセルの要部断面図、図2は給電領域の要部平面図、図3(a)および(b)はそれぞれ図2のA-A′線に沿った要部断面図(メモリゲート電極のシャント部の要部断面図)および図2のB-B′線に沿った要部断面図(選択ゲート電極のシャント部の要部断面図)である。ここでは、サイドウォール形状のメモリゲート電極を採用したスプリットゲート構造のMONOS型不揮発性メモリセルを例示している。
前述の実施の形態1と相違する点は、MGシャント部の選択ゲート電極CGとキャップ絶縁膜CAPとの間に熱酸化膜が形成されていることである。すなわち、前述した実施の形態1では、MGシャント部の選択ゲート電極CGに接してキャップ絶縁膜CAPが形成されている。しかし、本実施の形態2では、MGシャント部の選択ゲート電極CGと、例えば窒化シリコン、酸化シリコン、窒素を含んだ酸化シリコン、炭化シリコンからなるキャップ絶縁膜CAPとの間に、例えば厚さ5~10nm程度の酸化シリコンからなる熱酸化膜が形成されている。熱酸化膜は選択ゲート電極CGを構成する導電膜10nに対して熱酸化処理を施すことにより形成され、キャップ絶縁膜CAPはCVD法により形成されるので、熱酸化膜のエッチング速度とキャップ絶縁膜CAPのエッチング速度とを互いに異なる値とすることができる。従って、MGシャント部においてメモリゲート電極MG上のシリサイド層3に達するコンタクトホールCMを層間絶縁膜9に形成する際に、窒化シリコン膜9aのオーバーエッチングにより選択ゲート電極CG上のキャップ絶縁膜CAPが削れても、この熱酸化膜をエッチングストッパ膜として機能させることができるので、コンタクトホールCMが選択ゲート電極CGに達するのを防いで、コンタクトホールCM内のプラグPMと選択ゲート電極CGとの電気的な接続を防ぐことができる。
前述の実施の形態1と相違する点は、メモリ領域のドレイン領域Drm上のシリサイド層3に達するコンタクトホールCNTが、選択ゲート電極CGの上面に形成されたキャップ絶縁膜CAP上に乗り上げた形状となっていることである。
