Description
最初に、図1に示した相変化メモリの製造方法について説明する。まず、図7に示すように、単結晶シリコンからなる半導体基板100の主面上にスパッタリング法で膜厚50nmのW膜101aを堆積し、続いて図8に示すように、フォトレジスト膜102をマスクにした反応性イオンエッチング(RIE)でW膜101aをパターニングすることにより、下部電極となるビット線101を形成した。ここでは、ArFレーザを光源とした液浸リソグラフィー装置を用い、図9に示すようなライン・アンド・スペースパターンを有するビット線101を形成した。また、ここでは、ライン・アンド・スペースパターンの繰り返し周期を90nmとしたが、後述する理由から、ビット線101のライン幅を65nmとし、スペース幅を25nmとした。
本実施の形態では、図1に示すデバイスのゲート絶縁膜16を2層の絶縁膜で構成し、Siチャネル層15に隣接する層をSiO2膜、それよりもゲート電極17に近い側を別の絶縁膜で構成した例を説明する。
