摘要:
A feature is formed in the NVM isolation region during the patterning and etching of an NVM device and a logic device such that the feature is of substantially equal height to the logic device and is well-defined so that it does not cause defect signals. A first conductive layer is formed over a substrate. The first conductive layer is patterned to expose at least a portion of the substrate in an NVM region and at least a portion of an isolation region. An NVM dielectric stack is formed over the first conductive layer, the exposed substrate, and the exposed isolation region, and a second conductive layer is formed over the NVM dielectric stack. The first and second conductive layers and the NVM dielectric stack are patterned to form a first gate and a second gate of an NVM cell in the NVM region and a feature over the isolation region. The feature comprises a portion of the first conductive layer, a portion of the NVM dielectric stack adjacent a first sidewall of the portion of the first conductive layer, and a portion of the second conductive layer adjacent the portion of the NVM dielectric stack.
