  • Publication number: 20260231556
    Abstract: In the present application, a tunnel oxide layer is deposited by means of a combination of PECVD and PEALD. A thin oxide layer with a thickness of 0.1 nm to 0.5 nm is pre-deposited by means of PECVD. In a subsequent PEALD process, the thin oxide layer chemically passivates a surface of a substrate, and then the PEALD process is configured to uniformly deposit a tunnel oxide layer on the basis of the oxide layer. The basic principle of such growth mode is atomic layer deposition.

  • Publication number: 20260156803
    Abstract: The examples of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and a memory system. The semiconductor device comprises a first electrode and a first insulating layer. The first electrode extends along a first direction and comprises a first end surface, a second end surface, and a sidewall. The first end surface and the second end surface are oppositely arranged in the first direction, and the sidewall connects the first end surface with the second end surface. The first insulating layer surrounds at least a portion of a sidewall of a first end portion of the first electrode and is located on a side of the first end surface away from the second end surface.

  • Publication number: 20250324568
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to storage node contact structures in semiconductor devices and fabrication methods thereof. An example semiconductor device includes an array of memory cells. The array of memory cells includes a first row of memory cells arranged along a first direction. At least one memory cell of the first row of memory cells includes a first vertical transistor, a first storage node contact structure, and a first storage structure that are stacked along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first storage node contact structure includes a first top portion in contact with the first storage structure and a first bottom portion in contact with the first vertical transistor. A first top cross section of the first top portion is asymmetric.
