摘要:
The present invention provides a method for providing bitline contacts in a memory cell array which comprises a plurality of bitlines (2) arranged in a first direction, said bitlines (2) being covered by an isolating layer (3), a plurality of wordlines (4) arranged in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction above said bitlines, memory cells being disposed at the points at which said bitlines (2) and word-lines (4) cross each other. According to a first aspect of the present invention, the isolating layer (3) is removed from the bitlines (2) at the portions which are not covered by the wordlines (4), whereas the areas between the bitlines (2) remain unaffected. Alternatively, the isolating layer (3) is removed from the whole cell array. Then, an electrical conductive material (18) is provided on the exposed portions of said bitlines (2).The method is used to provide bitline contacts in a nitride read only memory (NROMTM) chip.

The invention relates to method of producing a non-volatile semiconductor memory cell (SZ) with a separate tunnel window cell (TF). A tunnel section (TG) is formed in a late implantation step by tunnel implantation (IT) using the tunnel window cell (TF) as a matrix. The inventive method provides a memory cell that requires a minimum of space and allows for a high quantity of program/erase cycles.
摘要:
A process for producing a semiconductor configuration includes the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, providing a buffer oxide layer (40) on the semiconductor substrate and providing a hard mask on the buffer oxide layer. An STI trench is etched by using the hard mask and a liner oxide layer (20) is provided in the STI trench. The hard mask is removed to expose the buffer oxide layer and the buffer oxide layer is removed by an etching process. The buffer oxide layer is etched more rapidly than the liner oxide layer in the etching process. A gate oxide layer is provided on the semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor configuration is also provided.

The invention relates to a non-volatile NOR semiconductor memory device and method for the programming thereof, whereby a number of single transistor memory cells (SZ), arranged in the form of a matrix, may be controlled by either word lines (WL) or by bit lines (BL). Each single transistor memory cell (SZ), thus possesses both a source line (S1, S2) and a drain line (D1, D2), by means of which a selective control of the respective source and drain regions (D, S) is achieved. The leak current can thus be optimally reduced in the semiconductor memory device with minimal space requirement.
