Description

The structure of discontinuous nitride read only storage storage location
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of structure of nitride read only storage storage location, and particularly about a kind of discontinuous nitride read only storage storage location made from autoregistration process (self-aligned process).
Background technology
Can store the storage device of non-volatile information, for example read-only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (prom) and Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory EPROM (EPROM) reach other more senior storage devices and are used for global industry at large.Compared with general storage device, the advanced storage device involves more complicated making and test program usually.The advanced storage device comprises Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), quickflashing EEPROM and nitride ROM.These advanced storage devices can finish general ROM the work that can not finish, for example, use the circuit of EERPOM device to utilize and be built in wiping and write-in functions in the EEPROM device.
The key property of nitride ROM is that it is to belong to the dibit memory cell, and the dibit memory cell has the multiple-threshold voltages level, per 2 threshold voltage levels store different bits together, and other threshold voltage levels will be stored the side of a bit in memory cell.Wherein, the manufacture method of the memory cell of nitride ROM and general structure see in many documents and the reference.
Please refer to Fig. 1, express the profile of the memory cell of general nitride ROM.At first, provide a substrate 10, and implant source electrode 12 and drain 14 in substrate 10.Then, on substrate 10, form the ONO structure, comprising: go up between oxide skin(coating) 16 and a following oxide skin(coating) 18 for one and clip a nitride layer 17.Then, between the ONO structure, form a plurality of flush types diffusion regions (BD) oxide 20, isolate adjoining ONO structure to form passage 22.In the structure of the memory cell of nitride ROM, each memory cell has dibit, as shown in Figure 1.The memory cell 30 of big zone (scope that big dotted line is irised out among the figure) the single nitride ROM of expression, and less two zones (scope that less dotted line is irised out among the figure) expression first bit 32 and second bit 34.
In the memory cell 30 of nitride ROM, but nitride layer 17 provides the electric charge in the write storage unit to keep mechanism.Under general situation, electronics is to be imported into nitride layer 17 during memory cell writes, yet the electronics that is introduced into nitride layer 17 is absorbed in nitride and can't moves freely, and the hole is to be imported into nitride layer 17 with neutralization or in conjunction with electronics during cell erase.
In addition, inject phenomenon according to hot electron, some hot electrons can penetrate down oxide skin(coating) 18, and concentrate on nitride layer 17, particularly instantly during the very thin thickness of oxide skin(coating) 18, owing to the partial charge that hot electron produced, the part threshold voltage that makes energising back passage 22 is higher than the threshold voltage of passage 22 other parts.When memory cell was carried out write operation, the threshold voltage that partial charge and rising can occur entered conducting state with disable memory cells.Under general state, when promptly partial charge does not occur, read the threshold voltage that voltage can overcome passage 22, and make the passage 22 can conducting.
In addition, utilize the memory cell of conventional nitride read-only memory of the several steps manufacturing of photolithography (photolithography) to have some defectives.For example, implant and bit are not easy to form in correct position and be shifted, cause nitride ROM usefulness reduce widely.
