Abstract

In a channel region between the source/drain diffusion layers, impurities of the same conductivity type as the well are doped in an area apart from the diffusion regions. By using as a mask the gate formed in advance, tilted ion implantation in opposite directions is performed to form the diffusion layers and heavily impurity doped region of the same conductivity type as the well in a self-alignment manner relative to the gate.

Claims (13)

1. A manufacture method for a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprising:

a step of forming a well of a first conductivity type in a semiconductor substrate;

a step of forming a pair of semiconductor regions of a second conductivity type in the well of the first conductivity type, the pair of semiconductor regions being used as a source and a drain;

a step of forming a second gate on a second insulator film covering the first gate; and

a step of forming a third gate via the second insulator film relative to the first gate and via a third insulator film relative to the semiconductor substrate,

wherein an impurity doped region of the first conductivity type having an impurity concentration higher than the well is formed in a channel region between the pair of semiconductor regions, the impurity doped region being not in contact with the semiconductor regions, and

wherein the semiconductor regions and the impurity region are formed in a self-alignment manner by tilted ion implantation tilted in opposite directions from a normal of the semiconductor substrate, by using one of the first to third gates as a mask.

3. A manufacture method for a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductivity type is a p-type and the second conductivity type is an n-type.

4. A manufacture method for a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductivity type is an n-type and the second conductivity type is a p-type.

5. A manufacture method for a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to claim 3 , wherein p-type impurities are boron or boron fluoride ions and n-type impurities are arsenic ions.
