Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the floating gate structure NORD flash process, the traditional process refers to Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, prior to forming the gate of the peripheral circuit of the memory cell, the surface of the memory cell area will have the residual hard mask during the process of the gate of the peripheral circuit, and finally an additional step will be added in the process of etching the memory cell for the residual hard mask HM OX etching process, which will increase the consumption of OX spacer (oxygen isolation) on the top of the memory cell control gate, which is not conducive to the subsequent ILD (dielectric layer) filling; at the same time, in the subsequent metal silicide process due to salicide (metal silicide) The distance from the cell is relatively close, and the risk of being susceptible to disturbance when the cell is working

Abstract

The invention discloses an NORD flash manufacturing method. The method comprises the following steps of forming a memory cell region and a peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate region on a silicon substrate, and depositing polycrystalline silicon, photoetching and etching to remove the polycrystalline silicon, the high-voltage oxide layer and the silicon nitride in the memory cell region, reserving peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate polycrystalline silicon, and spin-coating photoresist on the peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate polycrystalline silicon, controlling photoetching and etching of a gate contact hole in a memory cell region, and removing photoresist in a polycrystalline silicon gate region of a peripheral circuit, after hard masks are deposited in the memory cell region and the peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate region, spin-coating photoresist, and opening a photoetching window for etching a peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate, etching the peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate to form a peripheral circuit polycrystalline silicon gate, and removing the photoresist, and forming an isolation sidewall. The memory cell forming process is prioritized, and then the memory cell peripheral circuit gate forming process is carried out, so that the risks of insufficient ILD filling and Cell disturb caused by the traditional process can be reduced.
