Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a split-gate flash memory device. By adding at least one gas among hydrogen, nitrogen and fluorine-based gases in the oxygen plasma ashing process after etching the silicon nitride layer of the floating gate, the floating The photoresist layer used for etching the gate silicon nitride layer will simultaneously remove the polymer residue attached to the sidewall of the floating gate silicon nitride layer, thereby eliminating the impact of the polymer residue on the etching of the subsequent floating gate polysilicon layer. The adverse effects of the etching process can be obtained to obtain the height of the tip of the floating gate that meets the requirements, thereby avoiding the formation of the reverse tip of the polysilicon layer of the word line, and improving the programming crosstalk failure problem caused by the reverse tunneling phenomenon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing a split-gate flash memory device. Background technique [0002] Flash memory, referred to as flash memory, is divided into two types: stackgate (stackgate) device and split gate (splitgate) device, wherein, the split gate device forms a word line as an erasing gate on one side of the floating gate, and the word line The line is used as the control gate. In terms of erasing and writing performance, the split-gate device effectively avoids the over-erasing effect of the stacked gate device, and the circuit design is relatively simple. Moreover, the split-gate structure utilizes hot electron injection at the source end for programming, which has higher programming efficiency, and thus is widely used in various electronic products such as smart cards, SIM cards, microcontrollers, and mobile phones. [0003] Please refer to Figure 1A , Figure 1A...
