Description of the invention ([Technical Field] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a storage memory device of a permanent memory element, which is a permanent memory element of the related EEPROM * flash memory element, In particular, the manufacturer of reducing the size of each storage unit [Technical Background] EEPROM, or permanent memory elements of flash memory, has been used in recent years in digital phones, digital information converters, digital cameras, personal computers, data Machines, facsimiles, digital video recorders, DVDs, and other household appliances that are easily accessible. Also, in order to achieve the miniaturization and high performance of the aforementioned household appliances, EEPR0M or flash memory has been actively increased. Research. The memory cells of this type of EEPROM or flash memory are well-known NOR type and NAND type. The NOR type memory cell is shown in Figure 1. The bit line is the drain D connecting the memory cells. The character line WL is the gate electrode G connected to each storage cell, that is, connected to the control gate, and the source line is the structure of the source s of the continuous storage cell. The symbol fg in the figure indicates a floating gate. However, although the advantage of this type of NOR-type storage unit is fast, it is difficult to increase the density because of the limited capacity of each unit. In other words, the NOR-type storage unit is connected to each other because of the bit line BL. The structure in which the drain d and the source line SL of the storage unit are connected to the source s of each unit. In the case where a certain contact point area must be prepared in each storage unit, it is difficult to improve the density. As shown in Figure 2, the bit line li is connected to the Guben paper ruler. It is applicable to the National Standard A (CNS) A4 specification (21〇χ 公公 发 565565 A7 B7. 5. Description of the invention (storage unit and 2 selection transistors) ™, TR2 '2nd bit line BL2 also connects 8 memory cells and 2 selection transistors TR3, TR4. The other side of the Lithuanian line BL1 and the 2nd bit line BL2, that is, the selection transistor D1, The source s of TR4 is connected to the source line SL. As a result, the solid-state storage unit becomes a unit structure. This NAND-type storage unit does not have any contact points in all the storage units. In other words, nand The bit lines BL1 and BL2 of the memory cell are the drain electrodes D connected to the first memory cell, and the other transistors are connected to the source s of the final memory cell in series. It is easy to increase the density. However, ordering a NAND type storage unit requires 16 storage units and 4 selection transistors. 'Slow speed is its disadvantage. In addition, the aforementioned >! 011 type and > 1 八 ^ [] :) type is composed of element isolation film, floating gate, control gate, source / drain electrode, source line, bit line element line on the storage unit. At this time, the storage unit theoretically obtains each constituent element. The smallest volume. In order to respond to changes in the error alignment and critical dimensions of the mask during the formation, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has isolated the floating gates formed by each storage unit, and designed a component isolation film that overlaps with a specific area. That is, FIG. 3A shows that the specific regions of each edge of the element separation mask 300 and the floating gate mask 304 used in forming the element isolation film and the floating gate are designed to overlap each other. Fig. 3B is a schematic plan view of a conventional floating gate shield 300 and a control gate shield. Therefore, it is assumed that the storage unit is manufactured with 0_ 1 8 # m technology. Theoretically, the paper size is in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 public love).

An element separation film 608 having the same height as the engraved prevention film 601 was formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 6D, the anti-engraving prevention film is removed. In this way, a specific region of the semiconductor substrate 600, that is, a region formed by a floating gate, is exposed. A floating gate insulating film 603 is formed on the exposed semiconductor substrate region, and then a conductive film for floating gate 605 is formed on the finished product to bury the region between the element separation films 608. Here, the floating gate insulating film 603 is preferably formed of an oxide film or a nitrogen oxide film, and the floating gate conductive film 605 is formed of a silicon film. The floating gate insulating film 603 is formed on the side and upper surfaces of the element separation film 608. As shown in FIG. 6E, before the element separation film 608 is exposed, the conductive film for the floating gate is etched back by etching gas or chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and the conductive film is used for the floating gate. A control gate insulating film 610 and a control gate conductive film 612 are formed on 605 and the element separation film 608. Here, it is preferable that the control gate insulating film 610 is formed of an oxide film or a nitrogen oxide film, and the control gate conductive film 612 is formed of a silicon film. As shown in FIG. 6F, the control gate shield film 406 shown in FIG. 4B is used for the control gate conductive film, the control gate insulation film, the floating gate conductive film, and the floating gate insulation film. The etching process is sequentially performed to form a floating gate electrode 605a and a control gate electrode 612a having a stacked structure. At this time, the semiconductor substrate region between the gates, that is, the semiconductor substrate region where the source and non-electrodes are formed is exposed.

Invention Description (10) Dip 614, 616. Thereafter, although not shown, in order to conform to the structure of a NOR-type or NAND-type memory cell, a bit line connected at the non-pole 616 and a source line connected at the source 614 are formed according to a conventional method. So far, the NOR-type Or the NAND-type memory cell has been completed. In this embodiment, since the floating gate electrode 605a is formed on the element separation film 608 in a self-aligned manner as in the previous embodiment, do not overlap with the element separation film 508. Thus, in theory, the smallest volume is possible to be formed As a result, the memory cell size is reduced, and as a result, NOR-type or NAND-type memory cells are highly dense. Although the present invention has been described by the above embodiments, various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Effect of the invention] In summary, the present invention is to make the floating gate electrode self-aligned on the element separation film, and the floating gate electrode and the element separation film can form a minimum volume. Therefore, the size of the NOR-type or NAND-type memory cells can be reduced. In this way, it is possible to achieve a high density of permanent memory devices that are compatible with miniaturization and high performance of home appliances. ‘(Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)
