In a semiconductor device employing a planar type transistor in which a gate electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate and a junction region is formed on both sides of the gate electrode, a channel length is to be reduced as the integration density of the semiconductor device is increased. Attempts continue. However, reducing channel length may result in short channel effects such as drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL), hot carrier effects and punch through. In order to prevent such a short channel effect, various methods have been proposed, such as a method of reducing the depth of the junction region and a method of extending the channel length by forming a groove in the channel portion. However, as the channel length is reduced to around 50 nm, the above attempts to prevent such short channel effects are also reaching their limit.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a nonvolatile memory transistor. An insulating film is formed on a substrate. Polysilicon fins are formed on the insulating film. The insulating layer is isotropically etched to form an undercut under the polysilicon fin, and at the same time, a support portion is formed under the polysilicon fin. And a charge storage pattern covering the top surface, the sidewalls and the bottom surface of the polysilicon fin, and a control gate line over the top surface of the charge storage pattern and across the polysilicon fin.
Referring to FIG. 1A, a protective film 11 is formed on a substrate 10. The protective layer 11 may be a silicon nitride layer. The buffer layer 12 is formed on the passivation layer 11. The buffer layer 12 may be a silicon oxide layer. An amorphous silicon layer is formed on the buffer layer 12. The amorphous silicon layer is patterned to form an amorphous silicon pattern 15 having a line shape extending in one direction.
Referring to FIG. 1B, a capping layer 16 is formed on the substrate 10 including the amorphous silicon pattern 15. The capping layer 16 is formed to cover the amorphous silicon pattern 15. The capping layer 16 may be a silicon oxide layer to be easily transmitted through the excimer laser beam, which will be described later. The capping layer 16 may have a thickness of about 5 nm to about 2000 nm.
Subsequently, an excimer laser is irradiated onto the capping layer 16. The laser penetrates the capping layer 16 and is absorbed by the amorphous silicon pattern 15. The intensity of the excimer laser may be 100 mJ / cm 2 to 2000 mJ / cm 2.
Referring to FIG. 1C, while the laser beam is irradiated, the amorphous silicon pattern 15 absorbs the laser and melts within a short time. The molten silicon 15 'has a tendency to have a hemispherical shape by the shrinkage effect caused by surface tension (Fa). After the irradiation of the laser beam is completed, the molten silicon 15 'is gradually cooled. At this time, a seed is generated near the center lower portion of the molten silicon 15 'having the least flow of fluid, and crystallization proceeds upward from the seed. That is, a growth force of Si crystal (Fb) is applied from the bottom of the center of the molten silicon 15 'to the top direction. Due to the surface tension Fa and the growth force Fb of the silicon crystal, the molten silicon 15 'is crystallized and changed into a pole shape, thereby eventually forming a columnar polysilicon fin 15a. Form. At this time, since crystallization proceeds upward from the seed near the center lower portion of the molten silicon 15 'as described above, relatively large grains of columnar-like shape are formed in the polysilicon fin 15a. Can be formed and with this a few defects.
In the crystallization process, a crack C may be generated in the stepped portion of the capping layer 16.
Referring to FIG. 1D, the capping layer 16 is removed to expose the pillar-shaped polysilicon fins 15a. The average width W_15a of the polysilicon fin is smaller than the width of the amorphous silicon pattern (W_15 of FIG. 1A), and the height H_15a of the polysilicon fin is greater than the height H_15 of the amorphous silicon pattern. In addition, the ratio of the height H_15a to the width W_15a of the polysilicon fin may be one or more. This result is shown by crystallizing the amorphous silicon pattern 15 by Eximer Laser Annealing (ELA) technique as described above.
As described above, the width W_15a of the polysilicon fin is smaller than the width of the amorphous silicon pattern formed using the photolithography process (W_15 of FIG. 1A), and thus, the width W_15a of the polysilicon fin is fine. It is possible to form a fin-shaped channel layer. Therefore, the degree of integration of the device can be improved.
Thereafter, the buffer layer 12 is isotropically etched using the protective layer 11 as an etch stop layer. As a result, a portion exposed to the periphery of the polysilicon fin 15a of the buffer layer 12 is etched, and then etched to a portion located below the polysilicon fin 15a, so that the polysilicon fin 15a is etched. An undercut (UC) is formed at the bottom of the. The remaining portion of the isotropically etched buffer layer 12 forms a support 12a under the polysilicon fin 15a. The passivation layer 11 is exposed around the lower portion of the support part 12a. The width W_12a of the support is smaller than the width W_15a of the polysilicon fin. Thus, the lower surface of the polysilicon fin 15a is exposed around the upper portion of the support 12a.
The isotropic etching may be wet etching or isotropic dry etching. When the capping layer 16 and the buffer layer 12 are the same material layer, the capping layer 16 may be removed and the buffer layer 12 may be etched at the same time.
Referring to FIG. 1E, the charge storage pattern 17 is formed on the top surface, sidewalls, and bottom surface of the polysilicon fin 15a. The control gate line 19 is formed on the charge storage pattern 17 to cross the upper portion of the polysilicon fin 15a. The control gate line 19 may be formed on an upper surface, a sidewall, and a lower surface of the polysilicon fin 15a.
In other words, the charge storage pattern 17 and the control gate line 19 are formed to almost surround the polysilicon fin 15a. As a result, the channel width can be increased as compared with the case where the charge storage pattern 17 and the control gate line 19 are formed only on the top surface and sidewalls of the polysilicon fin 15a, and thus leakage current. Decrease and increase in on-current.
The charge storage pattern 17 may be a charge trap pattern. Specifically, the charge trap pattern is a silicon oxide film / silicon nitride film / silicon oxide film that is sequentially stacked, that is, an ONO film; The silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film, that is, the ON film, which are sequentially stacked.
The charge storage pattern 17 may be a floating gate. In this case, a gate insulating film (not shown) is interposed between the floating gate and the polysilicon fin 15a. In addition, an inter-gate dielectric layer (not shown) is interposed between the floating gate and the control gate line 19. The floating gate may be a polysilicon film. The control gate line 19 may be a polysilicon film or a laminated film of a polysilicon film and a metal silicide film. The metal silicide layer may be a tungsten silicide layer, a cobalt silicide layer, or a nickel silicide layer.
The silicon oxide layer and the gate insulating layer in contact with the polysilicon fin 15a of the charge trap pattern may be formed using a thermal oxidation method. In addition, the remaining layers of the charge trap pattern, the floating gate, the inter-gate insulating layer, and the control gate line 19 may include low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and inductively ICPCVD. It can be formed using Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (ALD) or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).

4A and 4B show Id-Vg curves of a nonvolatile memory transistor formed using the method described with reference to FIGS. 1A through 1E and a nonvolatile memory transistor including a conventional polysilicon layer as a channel layer, respectively. The graphs shown.
4A and 4B, the polysilicon fin nonvolatile memory transistor according to the present invention has a lower leakage current (ie, off current) than a nonvolatile memory transistor having a planar polysilicon layer as a channel layer. On the other hand, it can be seen that the operating current (ie, the on current) is high. This is similar in both the fresh state (f), the programmed state (p), and the erased state (e).
5 is a graph illustrating a program / erase window of a nonvolatile memory transistor including a polysilicon fin nonvolatile memory transistor and a conventional planar polysilicon layer as a channel layer. The horizontal axis represents the absolute value of the gate voltage, and the vertical axis represents the threshold voltage.
Referring to FIG. 5, when the absolute value of the gate voltage is 11V, the difference p of the threshold voltage between the program state F_p and the erase state F_e of the nonvolatile memory transistor according to the present invention is about 1.41V. The difference q between the threshold voltage of the program state N_p and the erase state N_e of the nonvolatile memory transistor having the planar polysilicon layer as a channel layer is about 0.25V. Therefore, it can be seen that the transistor according to the present invention has a wider program / erase window than the conventional transistor.
