  • Publication number: 20070231986
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flash memory device is disclosed. A first oxide layer, a nitride layer, a second oxide layer, and a first polysilicon layer, which is a part of a polysilicon layer for a control gate, are formed to a predetermined thickness on a semiconductor substrate. A first etch process is performed to form gate patterns. An insulating layer is formed on the entire surface. A second etch process is implemented so that insulating layer spacers are formed on both sidewalls of each gate pattern while exposing the first polysilicon layer. A second polysilicon layer for the control gate is formed on the entire surface.

  • Patent number: 6777348
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming an oxynitride film. The method comprises the steps of loading a silicon substrate into an oxidization furnace, implanting an oxygen based source gas into the oxidization furnace to grow a pure silicon oxide film on the silicon substrate, blocking implantation of the oxygen based source gas and implanting an inert gas to exhaust the oxygen based source gas remaining within the oxidization furnace, raising a temperature within the oxidization furnace to a nitrification process temperature, stabilizing the temperature within the oxidization furnace, implementing a nitrification process for the pure silicon oxide film by implanting a nitrogen based source gas, and stopping implantation of the nitrogen based source gas and rapidly cooling the oxidization furnace while implanting the inert gas into the oxidization furnace.

  • Patent number: 6200877
    Abstract: The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing field, more particularly, to a process of forming a charge storage electrode to which a selective hemispherical grains (HSG) silicon film is applied. The object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a charge storage electrode having the selective HSG silicon film in semiconductor device which can secure a sufficient capacitor effective surface area by obtaining desired grain size at the time of selective HSG silicon film formation. The present invention prevents remaining of carbon component which obstructs the growth of HSG silicon film after dry etching process by limiting the carbon halide gas used in dry etching process of amorphous silicon film for defining the charge storage electrode at the time of process of forming the charge storage electrode having selective HSG silicon film.

  • Patent number: 6034778
    Abstract: The present invention is a method which can obtain an actual value close to a desired capacitance of capacitor by precisely monitoring the area variation rate of film by using a correlation between a height of hemispherical grains formed on a surface of film and a surface area of film. The present invention provides a method of calculating an area variation rate `C.sub.E ` by using the porosity ratio `f.sub.v ` and the height `t` of hemispherical grains and measuring the capacitance of capacitor by using the obtained area variation rate. According to this method, the area variation rate of film can be obtained close to actual value by measuring the height of hemispherical grains formed on the surface of film, and the variation in capacitance before completion of capacitor can be precisely obtained.
