  • Publication number: 20070147124
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a memory unit capable of storing multibits binary information. A gate is formed on a dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate. Next, a first etching is performed to etch the semiconductor substrate by using the gate acting as an etching mask to remove exposed surface of the dielectric layer. Subsequently, a first oxide layer is conformally formed on the gate and the semiconductor substrate. An charge-trapping layer is conformally formed on the first oxide layer, and subsequently a second oxide layer is conformally formed on the isolating layer. Next, a second etching is performed to etch the second oxide layer and the charging-trapping layer to form sandwich spacers composed of the second oxide layer/the isolating layer/the first oxide layer on the substrate and the gate sidewall.

  • Publication number: 20060239070
    Abstract: A memory system comprising a memory array having a plurality of memory units, a column decoder, a row decoder, a selecting/driving circuit and a sensing circuit is disclosed. Each memory unit comprises a gate electrode coupled to a word lines, a source region coupled to a source line or a first bit line, a drain region coupled to a drain line or a second bit line, a first spacer between the source region and the gate electrode and a second spacer between the drain region and the gate electrode. When a first-bit program operation is performed on the memory unit, a switch-on signal is applied to the gate, a programming signal is applied to the source region and the drain region is switched to ground. As the memory unit is activated, the carriers are injected and stored in a first spacer, thus represents a first bit in the memory unit.

  • Publication number: 20060019441
    Abstract: A process for fabricating non-volatile memory by tilt-angle ion implantation comprises essentially the steps of implanting sideling within a nitride dielectric layer heterogeneous elements such as, for example, Ge, Si, N2, O2, and the like, for forming traps capable of capturing more electrons within the nitride dielectric layer such that electrons can be prevented from binding together as the operation time increased; etching off both ends of the original upper and underlying oxide layers to reduce the structural destruction caused by the implantation of heterogeneous elements; and finally, depositing an oxide gate interstitial wall to eradicate electron loss and hence promote the reliability of the device.

  • Publication number: 20050156228
    Abstract: The manufacturing method of a nonvolatile memory and its structure is achieved by building a gate dielectric layer on a base. The gate dielectric layer contains at least two layers of different material layers. At least one hetero element is planted on the top of the gate dielectric layer so as to increase the electronic trap density. Then rebuild a new top material after removing the upmost layer of material. Finally, build a gate electrode layer on the gate dielectric layer and form source/drain electrodes at the bases of both sides of the gate dielectric layer. In this invention, with the planting of the hetero element, it will form traps in the gate dielectric layer that can catch electrons more easily. Thus, the electrons won't combine together with the increase of operation time. The storage time can be effectively extended and the problem of the combination of bites can be solved.
