Description
図5ないし図14は、それぞれ図3(a)に対応した断面構造の一製造段階を模式的に示している。
図5に示すように、半導体基板2の表層にウェル、チャネル形成用の不純物を注入した(図示せず)後、半導体基板2の上面上にゲート絶縁膜5を熱酸化法により所定膜厚(例えば1nm〜15nm程度)形成する。次に、図6に示すように、ゲート絶縁膜5上に化学気相成長法により電荷蓄積層となる多結晶シリコン層6を所定膜厚(例えば10nm〜200nm程度)形成する。次に、図7に示すように、化学気相成長法(CVD法)によりシリコン窒化膜10を所定膜厚(例えば50nm〜200nm程度)形成し、次に、化学気相成長法によりシリコン酸化膜11を所定膜厚(例えば50nm〜400nm程度)形成する。
本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、以下に示す変形または拡張が可能である。
NAND型フラッシュメモリ装置1に適用したが、これに限定されるものではなく、NOR型フラッシュメモリなど電荷蓄積層を有するメモリセルを用いた不揮発性半導体記憶装置に適用できる。
半導体基板2は、p型シリコン基板であっても、n型シリコン基板の表層にp型ウェルを形成した半導体基板を適用しても良い。
素子分離絶縁膜4は、HDP−CVD法により形成されたシリコン酸化膜を組み合わせて構成されていても良い。
シリコン窒化膜7aの酸化処理のタイミングとしてシリコン窒化膜7aの形成直後に行った実施形態を示したが、シリコン酸化膜7bの形成直後に行っても良い。すなわち、シリコン窒化膜7cの形成前であれば良い。
