Title:
【発明の名称】不揮発性半導体メモリ装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2786629
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain an EPROM whose data retention characteristic has been enhanced by a method wherein an impurity concentration value of a source-drain diffusion layer of a memory cell constituting a NAND cell is set to be lower than that of a source-drain diffusion layer of a peripheral circuit in order to prevent destruction of a junction of the diffusion layer during a write operation and destruction of a gate insulating film. CONSTITUTION:Each plurality of rewritable memory cells where floating gates 4 and control gates 6 have been laminated on a semiconductor substrate 1 and a write operation and an erasure operation are executed by exchanging electric charge between the floating gate 4 and the substrate 1 by using a tunnel current have been respectively connected in series while source-drain diffusion layers 9 are used commonly, and constitute NAND cells; these are arranged in matrix form and constitute a memory array; An impurity concentration value of the source-drain layers 9 used commonly between the individual memory cells constituting said NAND cells is set to be lower than that of source-drain layers in a peripheral circuit. Said diffusion layers 9 are formed while ions of, e.g., phosphorus are implanted at an acceleration voltage of 40keV and a dose of 7X10<14>/cm<2>; a peak value of the impurity concentration value is set to be 10<20>/cm<3> or less.
