Embodiment Construction

[0036] FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a silicon wafer with a silicon substrate 1 . The state of the silicon wafer shown in FIG. 1 corresponds, for example, to the state it would have in a standard CMOS process after the wells of the CMOS transistors and the (not shown) insulation of the individual transistors have been produced.

[0037]A silicon dioxide layer 2 approximately 1 to 5 nm thick is now deposited on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 as a barrier layer. This oxide layer 2 can be produced, for example, by thermal oxidation. If additionally containing NO molecules or N 2 The nitrided silicon dioxide layer 2 can be prepared by performing thermal oxidation in an atmosphere of O molecules. The silicon dioxide layer has an extremely low trap density, which has a positive effect on the function of the transistors to be produced.

[0038] As already mentioned in the introduction, accurate detection of the thickness of such a thin oxide layer is difficult. H...

Abstract

The invention relates to a semiconductor element with at least one layer of tungsten oxide (WOx), optionally in a structured tungsten oxide (WOx) layer. The inventive semiconductor element is characterized in that the relative permittivity (epsilon r) of the tungsten oxide layer (WOx) is higher than 50.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor element and a manufacturing method thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a semiconductor component with a field effect transistor gate dielectric and / or with a so-called "storage node dielectric" in a memory cell. Background technique [0002] In order to maintain or increase international competitiveness, it is necessary to continuously reduce the costs incurred for implementing certain electronic functions and thus to continuously increase productivity. The guarantee of increased productivity in recent years has here been and remains CMOS process technology or DRAM process technology. Both process technologies here achieve an increase in productivity through advances in structure miniaturization. [0003] Along with the progress in the shrinkage of the structure of MOS transistors, it is necessary to use thinner and thinner dielectric layers as gate dielectric layers in order to effectivel...
