20080211001 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Provided is a semiconductor device having, over the main surface of a semiconductor substrate, a main circuit region and a memory cell array of a flash memory. The memory cell array has a floating gate electrode for accumulating charges of data, while the main circuit region has a gate electrode of MIS•FET constituting the main circuit. In the main circuit region, an insulating film made of a silicon nitride film is formed to cover the gate electrode, whereby miniaturization of elements in the main circuit region is not impaired. The memory cell array has no such insulating film. This means that the upper surface of the floating gate electrode is not contiguous to the insulating film but is covered directly with an interlayer insulating film. According to such a constitution, leakage of electrons from the floating gate electrode of the memory cell array can be suppressed or prevented and the flash memory thus obtained has improved data retention characteristics. | 09-04-2008 |

20120061745 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - There is provided a technology capable of improving the processing precision of memory cells forming a nonvolatile memory in a semiconductor device including the nonvolatile memory. A second polysilicon film is formed in such a manner as to cover a first polysilicon film and a dummy gate electrode. Thus, the second polysilicon film is formed reflecting the shapes of a step difference portion and a gap groove. Particularly, in the second polysilicon film covering the gap groove, a concave part is formed. Subsequently, over the second polysilicon film, an antireflection film is formed. Thus, the antireflection film having high flowability flows from the higher region to the lower region of the step difference portion, but is stored in a sufficient amount in the concave part. Accordingly, the antireflection film is supplied from the concave part so as to compensate for the amount of the antireflection film to flow out therefrom. | 03-15-2012 |
