[0046] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] Method Embodiment

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling performance of a memory device, comprising:

[0049] Step 100: Acquire a plurality of initial ion implantation conditions of an ion implantation process for a memory drain.

[0050] The electronic device obtains multiple initial ion implantation conditions of the ion implantation process of the memory drain. Among them, the initial ion implantation conditions include at least two of the implantation energy, the type of masking layer, the implantation dose, the thickness of the masking layer, the number of implantations, and the implantation angle. In one embodiment, the initial ion implantation conditions include the implantation energy, the type of masking layer, the implantation dose, the thickness of the masking layer, the number of implantations, and the implantation angle in the CNLDD implantation process of the device drain in the process flow of the memory device. Among them, the types of masking layers include Si3N4, SiO2, etc. The target material includes silicon or gallium arsenide. The ion types include boron (B), phosphorus (P), or arsenic (As), etc. The implantation energy is between tens of keV and hundreds of keV, which determines the penetration depth of the ions in the target material, and the implantation dose determines the doping concentration in the target material. After confirming these parameters, the parameters can be set in the SRIM software.

[0051] Step 200: Use SRIM software to perform ion implantation simulation on all the initial ion implantation conditions to obtain an ion doping distribution parameter set corresponding to each initial ion implantation condition.

[0052] The electronic device uses SRIM software to perform ion implantation simulation on all the initial ion implantation conditions to obtain an ion doping distribution parameter set corresponding to each initial ion implantation condition. The ion doping distribution parameter set includes an average ion penetration depth and an ion peak concentration.

[0053] Specifically, 15 to 25 steps of ion implantation are generally used in modern semiconductor processes. The most important process parameters are implantation energy, type of masking layer, implantation dose, number of implantations, and implantation angle. In the ion implantation process of the embodiment of the present invention, when a beam of boron ions is selected to bombard a silicon-based substrate, a portion of the scattered boron ions is reflected on the target surface and cannot enter the silicon-based substrate. The boron ions that enter the silicon-based substrate are called implanted boron ions. This part of the scattered boron ions will continuously collide with the nuclei and extranuclear electrons of the target atoms, and lose energy until they finally stop at a certain position on the silicon substrate. Some collision processes are random, so the study of the distribution of these doped ions near the drain region of the substrate requires consideration of the deflection angle, energy loss, travel distance between two adjacent collisions, and total movement distance of a large number of ions. These large numbers of ions can be used to quickly estimate the doping distribution of the implanted ions in the target using Gaussian distribution. The important parameters after parameterizing this process are: average ion penetration depth and ion peak concentration.

[0054] The electronic device sets parameters in the SRIM software based on multiple initial ion implantation conditions. Continue to start the simulation run, and the SRIM software will generate data such as the depth distribution of ions in the material, energy loss, and doping distribution. After the simulation is completed, the SRIM software will generate some key results: the average ion penetration depth and ion peak concentration are important parameters for describing ion distribution. With these values, the depth and concentration distribution of the doping layer can be estimated.

[0055] The embodiment of the present invention uses SRIM software to calculate and simulate in detail every detail of the collision process between the implanted ions and the target material atoms under different initial ion implantation conditions (different implantation energies, types of masking layers, implantation doses, implantation times, and implantation angle conditions), and can provide a simulation image of the final stop range of the implanted ions. Through this method, the average penetration depth of ions and the peak ion concentration under different modes are summarized to avoid the deformity of the gradient doping concentration distribution curve of the silicon surface layer and select a suitable ion implantation mode. The above discussion is about a single injection method, and multiple injections are required to achieve gradient doping. The TRIM software is used to study the influence of multiple energy injection modes on the doping distribution.

[0056] Step 300: Filter out an optimal ion doping distribution parameter set that meets set conditions from all ion doping distribution parameter sets of the initial ion implantation conditions.

[0057] The setting conditions include an average ion penetration depth of 90 nm to 115 nm and an ion peak concentration greater than or equal to 1×10 15cm-3. The optimal ion doping distribution parameter set may include one or more. In the case where the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set may include one or more, the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set may be determined according to the following manner.

[0058] The step of selecting an optimal ion doping distribution parameter set that meets set conditions from the ion doping distribution parameter sets of all the initial ion implantation conditions comprises: selecting an ion doping distribution parameter set that meets the set conditions from the ion doping distribution parameter sets of all the initial ion implantation conditions as the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set; or selecting multiple ion doping distribution parameter sets that meet the set conditions from the ion doping distribution parameter sets of all the initial ion implantation conditions; and selecting an ion doping distribution parameter set composed of an average value of average ion penetration depths and an average value of ion peak concentrations in multiple ion doping distribution parameter sets as the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set.

[0059] That is, when the ion doping distribution parameter set that meets the set conditions includes one, it is determined to be the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set. The initial ion implantation condition corresponding to the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set is that the CNLDD lightly doped drain region selects the following doping mode: the first time, the implantation dose: 3e14, the implantation energy: As implantation at 2keV; the second time, the implantation dose: 2e13, the implantation energy: 35keV, the BF2 implantation at an implantation angle of 25°; the third time, the implantation dose: 2.5e13, the implantation energy: 20keV, the B implantation at an implantation angle of 45°. The above modes can achieve the working state threshold voltage window of the memory device: >6V; the number of cycles of device reliability: >100k.

[0060] When there are multiple ion doping distribution parameter sets that meet the set conditions, an embodiment of the present invention may use an ion doping distribution parameter set composed of the average values ​​of the average ion penetration depths and the average values ​​of the ion peak concentrations in the multiple ion doping distribution parameter sets as the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set.

[0061] The embodiment of the present invention can find the most suitable optimal implantation conditions by repeatedly adjusting the ion implantation parameters in the initial ion implantation conditions and analyzing the simulation results (ion doping distribution parameter set) to achieve the goal of optimizing doping and controlling device performance.

[0062] Step 400: Based on TCAD software, an overall manufacturing process flow simulation is performed on a memory device using initial ion implantation conditions corresponding to the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2, the overall preparation process flow simulation of the memory using the initial ion implantation conditions corresponding to the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set based on the TCAD software includes: the overall preparation process flow simulation of the memory using the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set is performed based on the Sprocess module in the TCAD software to obtain a first simulation result; the device electrical performance simulation and / or reliability performance simulation is performed on the first simulation result based on the Sdevice module in the TCAD software to obtain a second simulation result. Simulation parameters are obtained based on the second simulation result; the simulation parameters include the programming and erasing threshold voltage window of the device and / or the number of cycles of reliability.

[0064] The embodiment of the present invention uses sprocess to simulate the overall preparation process of the device according to the optimal injection conditions corresponding to the above optimal ion doping distribution parameter set in combination with TCAD simulation software. The overall preparation process of the device involves the preparation simulation of the substrate, the bottom silicon oxide dielectric layer, the polysilicon selection gate, the first ONO dielectric layer, the floating gate, the second ONO dielectric layer source, the control gate, the top oxide layer, the erase gate, the drain region and the drain CNLDD, the sidewall spacer and the metal connection. Based on the sprocess results, sdevice is used to simulate the electrical performance and reliability of the device, focusing on the reading, programming and erasing of the device, and the transient simulation scans the IV curve of the device under different working conditions and the IV curve after 100k cycles. Based on the above simulation results, simulation parameters such as the programming and erasing threshold voltage window of the device and the number of cycles of reliability can be obtained.

[0065] The following is a comparison of memory performance before and after ion implantation using the best implantation conditions corresponding to the best ion doping distribution parameter set, as described in exemplary embodiments.

[0066] Figure 3 and Figure 4 Schematic diagram of TCAD simulation doping distribution of the present invention, where Figure 3 is the substrate doping distribution after vertical angle implantation, Figure 4 The substrate doping distribution using the implantation angle in the optimal implantation condition. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The different colors represent the total number of electrically active doping ions in the semiconductor material. From red to blue, the total number of electrically active doping ions in the semiconductor material gradually decreases. Figure 3 , Figure 4The horizontal and vertical axes in the figure represent the spatial distribution of the device, in micrometers. The embodiment of the present invention mainly focuses on the CNLDD injection in the drain region, which belongs to the Halo (Pocket) injection. The tilt angle of the injection is relatively large. The injection at a large angle can make the dopants distributed under the gate oxide electrode. The change of the injection tilt angle will cause the change of the threshold voltage and leakage current of the device, which can reduce the strong electric field in the drain region, reduce the lateral expansion width of the drain region and the substrate depletion region, and prevent the source-drain crosstalk phenomenon of the short channel device.

[0067] Figure 5 The diagram of electrical performance simulated by TCAD software in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents the voltage at the control gate (cg) terminal, in V; the vertical axis represents the current at the bit line (bl) terminal, in A. The red and green curves respectively represent the IV electrical property curves of the device under the condition of vertical angle injection in the CNLDD process under the erase and programming working state, and the blue and cyan curves respectively represent the IV electrical property curves of the device under the condition of tilt angle injection in the CNLDD process under the optimal injection condition under the erase and programming working state.

[0068] from Figure 5 It can be seen that the LDD structure (Lightly Doped Drain) of the embodiment of the present invention forms a low-doped shallow junction extension area between the drain source and the gate boundary, and cooperates with the heavily doped drain source to slow down the doping distribution of the drain region, thereby reducing the electric field strength near the drain region. The junction area of ​​the drain-source pn junction facing the channel of these shallow drain-source extension regions is reduced, and the drain source with a heavier doping and a deeper junction depth is connected slightly away from the channel to form a gradual junction so that the depletion layer has a smaller extension range relative to the channel. LDD improves subthreshold leakage. The purpose of the second and third tilted injections is to further reduce the subthreshold current. They belong to pocket injections to increase the impurity ion concentration of the channel region and the drain region substrate, and reduce the lateral expansion width of the depletion region between the drain and the substrate (to prevent drain-source punch-through). The injection depth is greater than the LDD depth. It can be intuitively seen from the device electrical simulation results that this ion injection tilt angle causes the threshold voltage to drift and the leakage current to drop significantly (drop by 2 orders of magnitude).

[0069] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have the technical advantage of efficiently and accurately controlling the CNLDD process (including other ion implantation processes).

[0070] The present invention combines SRIM software (including injection energy, masking layer type, injection dose, injection number and injection angle condition parts) and TCAD software (including Sprocess software part and Sdevice software part) for ion implantation simulation, mainly targeting the CNLDD implantation process for the device drain in the process flow, and selecting the best implantation condition from different initial ion implantation conditions to achieve the optimal memory operating electrical properties and reliability.

[0071] In other words, the embodiment of the present invention combines the SRIM software and TCAD software for ion implantation simulation, mainly targeting the CNLDD implantation process for the device drain in the process flow, and selects the initial ion implantation condition corresponding to the optimal ion doping distribution parameter set from multiple initial ion implantation conditions as the optimal implantation condition, so as to achieve precise control of the ion implantation mode and realize high performance of the storage device.
