Method for angular doping of source and drain regions for odd and even NAND blocks
A method for creating NAND flash memory. Source implantations are performed at a first implantation angle to areas between stacked gate structures of a NAND string. Drain implantations are performed at a second implantation angle to areas between the stacked gate structures. The source implantation can include n-type and p-type materials implanted under different angles, and the drain implantation can include n-type and p-type materials implanted under different angles. Or, the source implantation can include multiple n-type implantations under different angles, and the drain implantation can include multiple n-type implantations under different angles.
1. A method for creating NAND flash memory, comprising:
creating stacked gate structures of a NAND string on a substrate, each stacked gate structure comprising a floating gate and a control gate positioned over the floating gate;
performing source implantation at a first implantation angle to source/drain regions in the substrate between said stacked gate structures, at source sides of each of said stacked gate structures, said source implantation includes n-type and p-type materials implanted under different angles; and
performing drain implantation at a second implantation angle to the source/drain regions in the substrate between said stacked gate structures of said NAND string, at drain sides of each of said stacked gate structures, said second implantation angle is different than said first implantation angle, and said drain implantation includes n-type and p-type materials implanted under different angles, the performing source implantation and the performing drain implantation create an asymmetric doping profile in each of the source/drain regions in the substrate, each source/drain region is between adjacent stacked gate structures in said NAND string.
