Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving write margin of a static random access memory (SRAM). The method comprises the following steps of: providing an SRAM substrate, wherein an N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) area, a first P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) area and a second PMOS area which are adjacent to each other are arranged on the substrate, the first NMOS area is used for manufacturing common NMOS devices, a pass gate and a pull down MOS, the first PMOS area is used for manufacturing common PMOS devices, and the second PMOS area is used for manufacturing a pull up MOS; forming a shallow trench isolation area among the NMOS area, the first PMOS area and the second PMOS area; and performing a SiC epitaxial formation process for generating tensile stress on the NMOS area and the second PMOS area, and epitaxially forming SiC lattices in the source and drain of the NMOS area and the second PMOS area respectively. By the method, the tensile stress of the pull up MOS in a trench direction is improved, the carrier mobility of a pull up MOS device is reduced, the equivalent resistance of the pull up MOS is increased, and the write margin of a random memory is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor preparation, in particular to a method for improving the writing redundancy of a SRAM. Background technique [0002] Static random access memory (SRAM), as an important product in semiconductor memory, has been widely used in high-speed data exchange systems such as computers, communications, and multimedia. figure 1 What is shown is the layout structure of a common SRAM cell below 90 nanometers, including three levels of active area, polysilicon gate, and contact hole. The area 1 in the figure is marked as the control tube (Pass Gate).
