Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a TFT is provided to prevent the contamination of a metal electrode and to lessen the degradation of step coverage due to a stacked portion under a gate insulating layer. A silicon channel material layer and a silicon ohmic material layer are sequentially formed on a substrate(20). Source and drain ohmic layers(23s,23d) for contacting a silicon channel and both end portions of the silicon channel are formed on the resultant structure by patterning selectively the channel material layer and the ohmic material layer. A gate insulating layer(24) is formed on the resultant structure to cover the source and drain ohmic layers. A gate(25) is formed on the gate insulating layer corresponding to the channel. An interlayer dielectric(26) for covering the gate is formed on the gate insulating layer. A contact hole(H) through the interlayer dielectric and the gate insulating layer is formed on the source and drain ohmic layers, respectively. Source and drain electrodes(27s,27d) for contacting the source and drain ohmic layers through the contact hole is formed on the interlayer dielectric. A passivation layer is then formed on the resultant structure to cover the source and drain electrodes.
Abstract:
A method of programming and erasing a memory device is provided to accelerate program speed rather than erase speed by applying a negative voltage to the memory device during a program operation and applying a positive voltage to the memory device during an erase operation. According to a method of programming and erasing a memory device including a substrate and a gate structure formed on the substrate, the gate structure of the memory device is characterized in that a flat band voltage is shifted faster in a negative voltage bias than in a positive voltage bias. The negative voltage bias is applied to the memory device during a program operation and the positive voltage bias is applied to the memory device during an erase operation. The gate structure comprises a charge trap layer formed with one of silicon rich oxide and silicon nano crystal.
