One common select gate is located between two floating gates and a pair of source/drain junctions are shared by the 2 bits. The fabrication method utilized here to create a self-aligned structure is to form a spacer against the prior layer without any additional mask. Although the cell consists of three channels in a series, the attributes from conventional split gate flash are still preserved with appropriate bias conditions. Program and erase operation is performed by using a source side injection (SSI) and a poly-to-poly tunneling mechanism respectively.展开更多

With the introduction of self-aligned barrier (SAB) CuSiN between a Cu film and a p-SiC:H capping barrier, the interfacial thermal stability and the adhesion of the Cu/p-SiC:H film are considerably enhanced. A significant improvement of adhesion strength and thermal stability of Cu/p-SiC:H/SiOC:H film stack has been achieved by optimizing the pre-clean step before caplayer deposition and by forming the CuSiN-like phase. This cap layer on the surface of the Cu can provide a more cohesive interface and effectively suppress Cu atom migration as well.展开更多
