  • the reason why the n-type impurity is introduced into the inside of the insulating film OXF is as follows. That is, although the gate electrode GE is formed of a polysilicon film, high concentration n-type impurities are introduced into the polysilicon film in order to reduce the resistance of the gate electrode GE. Therefore, for example, the n-type impurity is diffused from the inside of the polysilicon film to the inside of the insulating film OXF formed on the sidewall of the gate electrode GE by the heat treatment for activating the n-type impurity introduced into the polysilicon film. Do. As a result, n-type impurities are introduced also into the inside of the insulating film OXF.
  • the leakage current at the end of the gate electrode GE is increased by the following two mechanisms.
  • the first mechanism will be described. For example, when an n-type impurity is introduced into silicon, a donor level due to the n-type impurity is formed immediately below the conduction band of silicon. On the other hand, even when an n-type impurity is introduced into the insulating film OXF, a trap level (mid gap level) resulting from the n-type impurity is formed at the same energy level as the above-described donor level. Because the band gap of the insulating film OXF is much larger than the band gap of silicon, in silicon, the energy level formed in the vicinity immediately below the conduction band is in the center of the band gap in the insulating film OXF.
  • the film OXF also enables excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band. As a result, the electrons excited in the conduction band recombine with the holes in the valence band, whereby the leak current in the insulating film OXF is increased.
  • the n-type impurity introduced into the insulating film OXF may be ionized.
  • the interface between the gate electrode GE and the insulating film OXF is For example, as in the case of the gate insulating film shown in FIG. 11, a steep potential barrier is generated. With such a steep potential barrier, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the width "L2" of the potential barrier becomes smaller, so that the FN tunneling current becomes easier to flow, and this FN tunneling current becomes a leakage current. .
  • the high concentration of the n-type impurity contained in the insulating film OXF means that the ionized n-type impurity is increased accordingly. Therefore, when a high concentration of n-type impurity is introduced into the insulating film OXF, a sharper potential barrier is generated at the interface between the gate electrode GE and the insulating film OXF, which causes the FN tunneling current ( Leakage current) increases.
  • the n-type is formed inside the insulating film OXF formed on the side wall of the gate electrode GE. If the impurity phosphorus is contained at a high concentration, the leakage current at the end of the gate electrode GE can not be reduced.
