It is schematic diagram on the basis of Fig. 7 with reference to Fig. 8, Fig. 8, forms the first side wall 270 in the first 261 side walls of opening.
The material of first side wall 270 is silica or silicon oxynitride.
The method for forming first side wall 270 includes:In the side wall of first opening 261 and bottom and medium The top surface of layer 260 forms the first side wall film (not shown);Remove 260 top surface of dielectric layer and the first 261 bottoms of opening The first side wall film in portion forms the first side wall 270.

The technique of removal 260 top surface of dielectric layer and the first side wall film of the first 261 bottoms of opening is to be etched back to work Skill.Specifically, the technique of removal 260 top surface of dielectric layer and the first side wall film of the first 261 bottoms of opening can be for certainly Etched in alignment technique.
With reference to Fig. 9, for the control grid structural membrane 250 of 261 bottoms of the first opening of exposure mask removal and floated with the first side wall 270 Gate structure film 211 forms the second opening 262 in the first 261 bottoms of opening.
It is exposure mask with the first side wall 270, the control grid structural membrane 250 and floating gate knot of 261 bottoms of the first opening of etching Structure film 211 is until expose the surface of semiconductor substrate 200, in first the second opening 262 of 261 bottoms of opening formation.
With reference to Figure 10, source region 280 is formed in the semiconductor substrate 200 of the second 262 bottoms of opening.
There is source ion in the source region.
When the type of the flash memory is N-type, the conduction type of source ion is N-type in the source region 280;Work as institute When the type for stating flash memory is p-type, the conduction type of source ion is p-type in the source region 280.
Formed source region 280 method include:It is exposure mask with first side wall 270, to partly leading for the second 262 bottoms of opening Body substrate 200 carries out source ion injection, forms source dopant region;Then source annealing is carried out to the source dopant region, forms source Area 280.
The source annealing repairs semiconductor caused by source ion injects for activating the source ion in source dopant region Lattice damage in substrate 200.
After forming source region 280, the peak concentration position of the source ion in source region 280 is located near 280 surface of source region.
With reference to Figure 11, after forming source region 280, the second side wall 271 is formed in the second 262 side walls of opening.
The material of second side wall 271 is silica or silicon oxynitride.
The method for forming the second side wall 271 includes:It is open on dielectric layer 260 and 270 surface of the first side wall and second Second side wall film (not shown) is formed on 262 side walls and bottom;Etching removes the second of dielectric layer 260 and 270 surface of the first side wall Side wall film forms the second side wall 271.
In the present embodiment, second side wall 271 is different from the material of first side wall 270, reduces removal dielectric layer 260 and 270 surface of the first side wall the second side wall film during to the first side wall 270 etch be lost.
In the present embodiment, it is initially formed source region 280, rear to form the second side wall 271, advantage is:So that source region 280 is vertical Larger in the size in the second 262 sidewall directions of opening, the capacitor that source region 280 and subsequent floating gate structure are constituted increases, therefore Voltage on subsequent source line layer can be more coupled in floating gate structure, to be mentioned in programming process in flash memory Voltage in high floating gate structure, is conducive to Split-gate flash memory and is programmed.
It should be noted that etching can be caused to damage to the source region 280 exposed during forming the second side wall 271 Consumption is easy to remove in the corresponding region of the peak concentration of the source ion in source region 280, source region 280 and subsequent source line layer is caused to connect The concentration of source ion is lower than the peak concentration in the region of touching, thus leads to the contact resistance of subsequent source line layer and source region 280 It is larger.And then it is smaller to will lead to the subsequent electric current read during flash memory is in erasing operation.And flash memory Judged whether erasing failure according to the size of the electric current of the reading.If the electric current of the reading is too small, it is judged as quick flashing Memory erasing failure.Therefore, in the present embodiment, after forming the second side wall 271, the subsequent doping compensation ion in source region 280.
With reference to Figure 12, after forming the second side wall 271, the doping compensation ion in source region 280, the conduction of the counterion Type is identical with the conduction type of source ion.
The technique of doping compensation ion is ion implantation technology in source region 280.
Specifically, being exposure mask with dielectric layer 260, the first side wall 270 and the second side wall 271, existed using ion implantation technology Injecting compensating ion in source region 280, thus the doping compensation ion in source region 280.
The doping compensation ion in source region 280 forms compensating basin, the surface of the compensating basin and source region in source region 280 280 surface flushes.
When the conduction type of the source ion in the source region 280 is p-type, the conduction type of the counterion is p-type. When the conduction type of the source ion in the source region 280 is N-type, the conduction type of the counterion is N-type.
If the energy of the ion implanting is excessively high, cause the depth of counterion injection source region 280 excessive, counterion is dense The distance for spending highest zone to 280 surface of source region is excessive, correspondingly, concentration of the counterion in 280 near-surface region of source region It is too small.Therefore the contact resistance of source region 280 and the source line layer being subsequently formed cannot be effectively reduced.If the energy of the ion implanting It measures too low, effectively counterion cannot be injected into source region 280.And the different corresponding atomic masses of counterion is not Together.In the case where identical injection depth, the energy that the biggish counterion of atomic mass needs to be lost is larger, thus need compared with Big Implantation Energy.
If the implantation dosage of the ion implantation technology is excessively high, process costs is caused to increase;If the ion implantation technology Implantation dosage it is too low, cause concentration of the ion implanting post-compensation ion in source region 280 too small, therefore cannot effectively reduce The contact resistance of source region 280 and the source line layer being subsequently formed.Counterion lesser for atomic mass, atomic mass is smaller, Divergence loss of the counterion in ion implantation process is bigger.Therefore need to make up different counterions in ion implantation process In corresponding divergence loss.Counterion so lesser for atomic mass, atomic mass is smaller, the implantation dosage phase needed To bigger.
The implant angle of the ion implantation technology is related with Implantation Energy, and the implant angle is and semiconductor substrate Angle between 100 surfaces.In the case where certain injection depth, Implantation Energy is bigger, and the implant angle needed is smaller.
To sum up, the Implantation Energy, implantation dosage and implant angle of the ion implantation technology need to select suitable range. And the different corresponding atomic masses of modified ion is different.In the case where identical injection depth, atomic mass is biggish to be changed Property ion need the energy that is lost larger, therefore need biggish Implantation Energy.
When the counterion is boron ion, the parameter of the ion implantation technology includes:The ion used for boron from Son, Implantation Energy are 2KeV~4KeV, implantation dosage 1E15atom/cm2~1E16atom/cm2, implant angle be 70 degree~ 90 degree.
When the counterion is indium ion, the parameter of the ion implantation technology includes:Implantation Energy be 5KeV~ 20KeV, implantation dosage 1E14atom/cm2~1E15atom/cm2, implant angle is 70 degree~90 degree.
When the counterion is phosphonium ion, the parameter of the ion implantation technology includes:Implantation Energy be 2KeV~ 5KeV, implantation dosage 1E14atom/cm2~1E15atom/cm2, implant angle is 70 degree~90 degree.
