Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a layer arrangement capable of overcoming a problem related to epitaxial growth. SOLUTION: In a manufacturing method of a layer arrangement of the present invention, a first layer (203) having a thickness larger than a minimum thickness for the epitaxial growth of a second layer (408) is formed, a second layer (408) is epitaxially grown on the first layer (203), and a third layer (409) is formed on the second layer (408). Further, a handling wafer (510) is joined on the third layer, and the substrate is removed from a second surface facing a first surface, and the first layer (203) is partially made to be thin from the second surface, and as a result, after making the layer thin, the first layer (203) has a thickness smaller than the minimum thickness for the epitaxial growth.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a semiconductor memory with a number of memory cells, whereby each of the memory cells comprises four vertical memory transistors with trapping layers. The shallower contact regions are embodied in a semiconductor region running at an angle to the lines and gaps of the cell field, whereby the gate electrode preferably runs on the stage lateral surfaces of the shallower semiconductor region. A memory density of 1-2F per bit may thus be achieved.
Abstract:
The invention relates to NROM memory cells that are disposed in trenches that are etched into the semiconductor material. The memory layer composed of a nitride layer (3) that is interposed between two oxide layers (2, 4) is applied to the trench walls before the dopants for source and drain (7) are implanted. The implantation regions of source and drain are thus prevented from being damaged by the high temperature loads of the component during production of the memory layer as the respective dopant is introduced only later on. Polysilicon gate electrodes (5) are connected to word lines (11).

The nanoelement is at least partially surrounded by electrically conductive material, forming a gate region, whereby electrically insulating material is provided between the nanoelement and the electrically conductive material to act as a gate insulating layer.

Abstract:
Semiconductor memory having memory cells, each including first and second conductively-doped contact regions and a channel region arranged between the latter, formed in a web-like rib made of semiconductor material and arranged one behind the other in this sequence in the longitudinal direction of the rib. The rib has an essentially rectangular shape with an upper side of the rib and rib side faces lying opposite. A memory layer is configured for programming the memory cell, arranged on the upper side of the rib spaced apart by a first insulator layer, and projects in the normal direction of the one rib side face over one of the rib side faces so that the one rib side face and the upper side of the rib form an edge for injecting charge carriers from the channel region into the memory layer. A gate electrode is spaced apart from the one rib side face by a second insulator layer and from the memory layer by a third insulator layer, electrically insulated from the channel region, and configured to control its electrical conductivity.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory cell, memory cell arrangement, and method for production of a nonvolatile memory cell is disclosed. The nonvolatile memory cell includes a vertical field-effect transistor (FET). The FET contains a nanoelement arranged as a channel region and an electrically insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer at least partially surrounds the nanoelement and acts as a charge storage layer and as a gate-insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer is arranged such that electrical charge carriers may be selectively introduced into or removed from the electrically insulating layer and the electrical conductivity characteristics of the nanoelement may be influenced by the electrical charge carriers introduced into the electrically insulating layer.
