    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charge capture semiconductor memory device whose size is further reduced.
    SOLUTION: A memory cell is preferably formed by a cylindrical recess (2), in a main surface of a semiconductor substrate (1) and is provided with a memory layer sequence (3) and a gate electrode (4) in a sidewall. An upper source/drain region (5) and a lower source/drain region (6) which are connected in a queue to a first bit line (8), and a second bit line (9) are provided. A word line (10) is arranged on the upper part of the first bit line (8), and the second bit line (9) and is connected to a row of the gate electrode (4). A transistor structure in the vertical direction facilitates further miniaturization of cells and enables making desired minimum effective channel length.

    Abstract: An oxide layer (2), a nitride layer (3), and a layer of amorphous silicon (4) are applied to a surface of a semiconductor substrate (1). A resist mask (5) is applied and implantations are performed to form doped regions (6) of source and drain and doped regions within the amorphous silicon layer. The resist mask and undoped parts of the amorphous silicon are removed to form a silicon mask (7). The silicon mask is applied to etch back the nitride layer (3). After a removal of the silicon mask (7), the nitride (3) is oxidized to form an oxide-nitride-oxide layer sequence which is laterally restricted to the area above the source/drain regions (6).

    Abstract: The memory cell is arranged in a ridge (15) of semiconductor material forming a fin (1) with sidewalls and a channel region between source and drain regions (2). Memory layer sequences (4), such as ONO, provided for charge-trapping are applied to the sidewalls, and gate electrodes are arranged on both sides of the ridge. A plurality of ridges at a distance parallel to one another and have sidewalls facing a neighboring ridge form an array of charge-trapping memory cells. Wordlines are arranged between the ridges, sections of the wordlines forming the gate electrodes (3). This arrangement enables a double gate operation of the cells and thus allows for a storage of four bits of information in every single memory cell structure.

    Abstract: A hard mask layer stack for patterning a layer to be patterned includes a carbon layer disposed on top of the layer to be patterned, a first layer of a material selected from the group of SiO2 and SiON disposed on top of the carbon layer and a silicon layer disposed on top of the first layer. A method of patterning a layer to be patterned includes providing the above described hard mask layer stack on the layer to be patterned and patterning the silicon hard mask layer in accordance with a pattern to be formed in the layer that has to be patterned.

    Abstract: The following are provided: a material zone (14) with or of electrically-conductive first material (14', M), a second material zone with or of an electrically-conductive second material (18', M) and between and in direct mechanical and electrical contact with this an oxidation material zone (16) with or of an oxidation material (16'), as a memory material zone (S). The oxidation material is an oxidized form of the first material and/or an oxidized form of the second material. The first material is selected for its insulating- (or highly electrically-resistive) oxidized form; the second material is selected for its conductive- (or only slightly electrically-resistive) oxidized form. An independent claim is included for the corresponding method of manufacture.

    Abstract: The channel region is slightly elevated with respect to the source and drain regions to form steps in the semiconductor surface, which are covered by a dielectric memory layer sequence provided for charge-trapping, the memory layer sequence comprising a lower confinement layer, a memory layer and an upper confinement layer. Electrons that are accelerated from source to drain are more probably scattered on a straight trajectory, on which they pass the lower confinement layer and are trapped in the memory layer. This memory cell aims at improving the speed of write operations.
