Above the surface of the broken substrate 10 above the electrode 15 is a thin oxide layer 12, a floating gate 14, a dielectric layer 18 ', and a controi gate in order. 16. On the surface of the control gate 16 and the silicon substrate 10, a silicon oxide layer 9 and a field oxide layer FOX are formed for insulation. As shown in Figure 1, 'the conventional EEPRO M unit is programmed and erased by passing the thin oxide layer 12' with a Fowler-Nordheim tunneling effect (FN tunneling effect) of about 8 to 10 nm in thickness. The action of data ° When the program is erased, a high voltage is applied between the control gate 16 and the immortal 15 of this component; at this time, the two voltage systems added to the control gate 16 Because the capacitor is dissipated to the floating gate μ, a high electric field is generated at the thin oxide layer 12, so that electrons are injected through the thin oxide layer 12 through the thin oxide layer 12 into the floating gate 14 due to the penetrating effect. On the other hand, when writing data, a high voltage is applied to the drain region 15 and the control gate 6 and the silicon substrate 445 445 65 4 5. Description of the invention (2) Grounding, too, due to capacitive coupling Due to the injection of a high electric field, electrons are injected into the drain electrode 15 from the floating heavy oxide layer 12 due to the tunneling effect. However, such an EEPROM cell must often provide a high voltage when performing a program; and, the process is not a self-calibration process (sei f_al igned) because of the degree of concentration. At the same time, the voltage required to inject electrons into the floating gate is high, which is mainly due to the different floating degrees. Therefore, if it is desired to reduce the operation of the component, improve (reduce) the voltage required for electron injection into the floating gate. In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a programmable read-only memory cell, which is highly compatible with current semiconductor processes. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for electrically reading a memory cell, which can have a low voltage. In order to achieve one object of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a programmable read-only memory cell is provided. The method includes a semiconductor substrate, and An insulator is formed on the semiconductor substrate and has a pointed tip. Next, the conductor substrate is formed to form a u-shaped groove, and the tip of the u-shaped concave is formed. A source / drain region is then formed in the semiconductor substrate, and the tip and the U-shaped groove of one of the source / drain regions. After that, a gate dielectric layer and a floating L thin oxide layer 12 are sequentially formed over the source / body substrates. The gate 14 passes through the thin layer and writes data. Its system reduces the component's backlog ratio and moves the electrons out of the gate to the flat voltage of the substrate. First, an electrical erasing process must be self-calibrating and programmable. The following steps of an electrical erasing method: provide ~ insulators, and the line is to etch the half-slot system next to the insulation, and a pair of opposite sides is to surround the semi-conductive gate and a gate between the insulation poles. Time 445 65 4 V. Description of the invention (3) --- Dielectric layer and a control gate. It should be noted here that the sharp point of the present invention and the generation of the U-shaped recess are formed by forming an insulator with a bird's beak shape and using it as the curtain. The component manufacturing process is self-calibrating. In order to achieve another object of the present invention, an apparatus for electrically erasing programmable read-only memory cells is provided, which includes: a semiconductor substrate = ^ having a U-shaped groove; a pair of source / non-polarity, separated from each other It is disposed in the semiconductor substrate, and one of the source / drain electrodes surrounds the D-shaped groove. In addition, a gate dielectric layer, a floating gate, an inter-gate dielectric layer, and a control gate are sequentially disposed on a semiconductor substrate between the source / drain electrodes. In addition, a sharp point is included between the semiconductor substrate and the U-shaped groove, and is formed on the semiconductor substrate between the floating gate and the semiconductor substrate by etching using a local oxidation method. Among them, when programming or erasing data, since the electric field strength near the large point in the above structure is much higher than the average electric field strength, the operating voltage can be reduced, and electron injection or erasure is more convenient. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is described below in detail with the accompanying drawings, as follows: ° Brief description of the drawings: Figure 1 is A cross-sectional view of the structure of a conventional EEPROM; and FIGS. 2A to 2H show cross-sectional views of a manufacturing process of EEPR (R) according to the present invention.

Description of the invention (6) A gate dielectric layer, a floating gate, an inter-gate dielectric layer, and a control gate are completed to complete the manufacture of an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory unit ; For example, please refer to FIG. 2F again. “Since the deposited silica dioxide 2 3 has bird's beak-shaped tips 231 and 232, after removing the dioxide dioxide 23, the Two sharp points P1 and P2 are formed on the surface of the substrate 20, as shown in FIG. 2G. Next, please refer to FIG. 2H, and thermally oxidize the stone having the U-shaped grooves 24 and 25. A gate dielectric layer 26 is sequentially formed on the surface of the substrate 20, for example, an oxide layer, and its thickness is between about 200 and 600 angstroms. It should be noted that it is generally used to form a gate electrode. The oxide layer (that is, a tunneling oxide) method must be formed by thermal oxidation because of its thin thickness and high quality. Then, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is used to sequentially form a floating gate 27 on the surface of the gate dielectric layer 26. The floating gate 27 is made of multiple crystals and has a thickness of about 80 to 20.

The structure characteristic of the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory of the present invention is mainly due to the sharp points manufactured during the manufacturing process, which can make the injection of electrons more convenient and thus reduce its operating voltage. However, the reason for the formation of sharp points is: (丨) a bird's beak oxide formed in the local oxidation process (LOCOS), and (2) the RIE etching process selected has anisotropic etching (anis〇tr〇). The feature of pic etching) is that sharp points are formed on the silicon substrate. In addition, since the electric field strength near the tip is several times the average field strength, the purpose of reducing the operating voltage can be achieved, and the electron injection is more convenient. Generally speaking, to generate FN tunneling, the electric field must be greater than 10MV / cm. Assuming that the gate dielectric layer is 200 ~ 600 Angstroms, and the field strength at the cusp point is ο times the average field strength, the floating gate and drain The voltage difference only needs 2V 6V. Compared with the voltage difference of 100 ~ 200 angstroms required for the gate dielectric layer of the conventional device, the voltage difference is 10V ~ 20V. The operating voltage required by the present invention is significantly reduced. Therefore, the new structure of the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory proposed by the present invention not only has the advantage of low-voltage operation; it is obvious that from the process steps, the formation of the entire structure is self. The calibration 〃 (sel f-al igned) process can achieve the purpose of high accumulation and has high compatibility with today's standard semiconductor processes, which is suitable for mass production. And because the gate dielectric layer of the present invention is thicker than the gate dielectric layer of a conventional device,
