Embodiment Construction

[0029] With the popularization of portable electronic products, the demand for flash memory is greatly increased. How to develop a new generation of flash memory and reduce the size of flash memory cells has become an important research trend. The invention discloses a structure of a planar surrounding gate flash memory unit and a manufacturing method thereof. The planar surrounding gate flash memory unit of the invention can effectively reduce the leakage current between the source and the drain, and can increase the unit current in the open state. Moreover, a higher capacitive coupling ratio between the floating gate and the control gate can be obtained without changing the unit size, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the writing / erasing voltage of the flash memory unit. In order to make the narration of the present invention more detailed and complete, refer to the following description and cooperate Figure 2 to Figure 15 icon. Please refer to figure 2 as well ...

Abstract

A flash memory cell is located in the channel in insulation region. The channel region is composed of the semiconductor films, which surrounds the channel in sequence: the tunneling oxide layer, the floating gate and the control gate. The floating gate and the control gate are formed on the groove under channel region at same time so as to improve the state of the leakage current. The depth of junction of the source and drain does not caused the short channel effect. Moreover, increasing depth of the channel can raise the coupling capacitor between the control gate and the floating gate easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flash memory (Flash Memory) and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a structure of a planar horizontal surrounding gate (Horizontal Surrounding Gate; HSG) flash memory unit (Cell) and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The continuous innovation of semiconductor manufacturing technology has brought about the vigorous development of computers, communications, network industries, and data appliances (IA). The main driving force behind the progress of semiconductor manufacturing technology is to reduce the size of semiconductor devices.
