Metal-oxide-semiconductor (mos) transistor structure integrated with a resistance random access memory (rram) and the manufacturing methods thereof

A method for manufacturing a field effect transistor structure integrated with a RRAM comprising a field effect transistor structure integrated with a resistance random access memory (RRAM), comprising:

• a semiconductor substrate;
• a field effect transistor and a RRAM formed on said semiconductor substrate;
• wherein:
• a gate dielectric layer of said field effect transistor extends to the surface of a drain region of said field effect transistor;
• and
• the part of the gate dielectric layer on the surface of the drain region of the field effect transistor forms a resistance-variable storage layer of said RRAM;
• comprising:
• forming a primary insulating film on the surface of a semiconductor substrate of a primary doping type;
• etching said primary insulating film to expose positions of a source region and a drain region of a field effect transistor;
• forming a source region and a drain region of a second doping type in said semiconductor substrate;
• etching to remove the rest of the said primary insulating film;
• growing a second insulating film on the surface of said semiconductor substrate by atomic layer deposition;
• depositing a primary conductive film on said second insulating film;
• etching said primary conductive film to form a gate electrode of the field effect transistor;
• and
• etching to remove the second insulating film above said source region to reserve the second insulating film above said drain region.
