Embodiment Construction

[0038] It can be known from the background art that when the device is scaled down, the performance of the existing flash memory unit sharing the source line is not good enough, and the programming efficiency is relatively low.

[0039] Please refer to figure 1 When programming the existing flash memory cells sharing the source line, the voltage applied to the source line 170 is coupled to the floating gate 120 through the spacer dielectric layer 180, and hot electrons migrate from the drain 101 to the source 102 under the action of the coupling voltage , and is injected into the floating gate 120 during the migration process. In order to ensure the data retention capability of the floating gate 120, the sidewall dielectric layer 180 must have no defects. Due to the limitation of the deposition process, if the thickness of the sidewall dielectric layer 180 is too small, some defects are prone to occur, such as defects such as voids formed in the film. Therefore, the thickness...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor device and its forming method, in particular to a flash memory unit sharing a source line and its forming method. Background technique [0002] In the current semiconductor industry, integrated circuit products can be mainly divided into three types: analog circuits, digital circuits and digital / analog hybrid circuits, among which storage devices are an important type of digital circuits. In recent years, among storage devices, a flash memory (flash memory, referred to as a flash memory unit) has developed particularly rapidly. The main feature of the flash memory unit is that it can keep the stored information for a long time without power on; and it has the advantages of high integration, fast access speed, easy erasing and rewriting, etc. Has been widely used. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an existing flash memory unit sharing a source line, including: a semiconductor substrate ...
