摘要 |
The invention relates to a manufacturing method for a structure comprising semi-conductor material nanocrystals on a dielectric material substrate by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), the nanocrystals being covered by a layer of semi-conductor material nitride. The method comprises a step for forming stable nuclei on the substrate by CVD from a first gaseous precursor of the nuclei; a step of nanocrystal growth from stable nuclei by CVD from a second gaseous precursor; and a step for forming a layer of semi-conductor material nitride on the nanocrystals. The method is characterised in that the passivation step is carried out by selective and stoichiometric CVD of semi-conductor material nitride only on the nanocrystals from a mixture of the second and a third gaseous precursor selected to cause selective and stoichiometric deposition of the nitride only on said nanocrystals, wherein steps for forming the nuclei, forming the nanocrystals and passivation are carried out inside a same, single chamber. The invention also relates to the formation of memory cells and flash memories comprising nanocrystals made according to the method of the invention.
