摘要:
A method of making multi-level ROM devices in which the gate width controls the threshold voltage setting of each memory unit, instead of the conventional method of setting the threshold voltage through the implantation of ions into the channel region of a memory unit. The memory units include memory units having their word line polysilicon layer completely removed, which are units in an OFF state. Memory units having part of the word line polysilicon layer removed are units with a higher threshold voltage, while memory units having the word line polysilicon layer left untouched are memory units with a lower threshold voltage.

A method of making a flash memory cell includes patterning a series of layers over a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type to form a gate electrode structure. A first ion implantation procedure is performed to introduce a first impurity of a second conductivity type into the semiconductor substrate and form a heavily-doped source region and a heavily-doped drain region. A second ion implantation procedure is performed at a tilt angle of 25.degree. to 45.degree., to introduce a second impurity of the second conductivity type into the semiconductor substrate and form a pair of asymmetric lightly-doped regions, with one of the asymmetric lightly-doped regions surrounding the heavily-doped source region, and the other of the asymmetric lightly-doped regions beneath the heavily-doped drain region. An insulating spacer is formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode structure. A photoresist layer is coated over exposed surfaces of the gate electrode structure, the insulating spacer, and the heavily-doped source region and drain region. The photoresist layer is patterned to form an opening and expose a portion of the gate electrode structure, the insulating spacer, and the heavily-doped drain region. The exposed portion of the insulating spacer is removed. A third ion implantation procedure is performed at a tilt angle of 25.degree. to 45.degree., to introduce an impurity of the first conductivity type into the semiconductor substrate and form a heavily-doped pocket region surrounding the heavily-doped drain region. The photoresist layer is then removed.

A test pattern simulates conductors and interconnections of conductors of a multi-layer semiconductor device that may be subject to damage from electromigration. Test pattern elements are connected in a series circuit with two connection points for applying a test current to the elements. A break in this circuit or an increase in resistance during the test signifies that electromigration has damaged the test pattern and that the operating components of the device may have manufacturing defects that make them susceptible to electromigration. Probe points can be provided for testing particular parts of the series circuit. The pattern has at least one conductive stripe or other element in each layer of the device and it has interconnecting vias between these elements through one or more intervening layers of insulation where corresponding layer-to-layer interconnections are made in the operating components of the device. On the surface of the device, diffusions form part of the circuit path. The diffusions can be connected as a buried contact if the device uses this structure.

A three-dimensional ROM device includes a silicon substrate having plurality of parallel trenches formed in an upper surface thereof, and a plurality of raised mesa regions. Each trench has a bottom and a pair of sidewalls, and is separated from an adjacent trench by a respective mesa region. A plurality of separated, parallel source/drain regions are provided, including a first and second source/drain region located on respective opposite sides of a respective trench bottom, and a third and fourth source/drain region located on respective opposite sides of a respective raised mesa region. Each source/drain region serves as a bit line. A gate oxide layer is located on the upper surface of the silicon substrate. A plurality of sidewall oxide layers are formed on selected sidewalls and serve as channel barriers. A plurality of silicon nitride layers are formed above selected mesa regions and trench bottoms, and serve as channel barriers. A plurality of gate layers are located over the gate oxide layer and the silicon nitride layers and serve as word lines. A region between any two adjacent source/drain regions comprises a channel region.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor memory device having a capacitor. First, a first insulating layer is formed on a substrate to cover the transistor. Next, a second insulating layer and a first conductive layer are formed in order. The first conductive layer only covers a portion of the second insulating layer to form a branch-like conductive layer. Then, a third insulating layer is formed. An opening is next formed. A second conductive layer is filled into the opening and therefore electrically connected to the source/drain region of the transistor to form a trunk-like conductive layer. Next, the second and the third insulating layers are removed. After a dielectric film is formed on the exposed surfaces of the first and second conductive layers, a third conductive layer is formed on the dielectric film to form an opposed electrode.

A local interconnection structure is disclosed. The local interconnection structure is formed on a silicon substrate in which a polysilicon gate and a number of diffusion regions exist. The structure includes a number of metal silicide layers over the substrate, a metal nitride layer over the silicide layers, and a dielectric layer over the nitride layer. The metal nitride layer which electrically connects the diffusion regions and the gate forms the interconnection. The method for fabricating the interconnection structure includes the steps of preparing the silicon substrate, sputtering a metal layer, annealing to form silicide and the nitride layers, depositing the dielectric layer, and patterning the nitride layer and the metal nitride by covering with a mask, etching away portions of both the dielectric layer and metal nitride layer not covered by the mask, and removing the mask after etching.

This invention describes a device structure and a method of forming the device structure using trenches with sidewalls formed in the substrate of an integrated circuit. A highly doped polysilicon layer is formed on the walls of the trench or the trench is filled with highly doped polysilicon to form the source and drain of a field effect transistor in an integrated circuit. The invention provides reduced source and drain resistance. The capacitances between the gate and source and the gate and drain are reduced as well.

An arbitration bus is arranged between a core logic chip set and a plurality of peripheral devices in order to arbitrate requests by the peripheral devices to use system memory of a computer system. Three or two arbitration signals carried on the arbitration bus. Means are provided to differentiate two levels of priority in each peripheral device. The core logic chip set can make a response pressing or otherwise so as to promote the overall performance. Preemption is provided so that peripheral devices can be overridden without wasting time when it is necessary to do so. Each peripheral device outputs a row address strobe (RAS) signal, all of which are connected together to form a open-collector signal to the core logic chip set for automatically accessing corresponding memory banks of system memory.

An apparatus for the removal of particles existing in exhaust gases by directly sprinkling the gases with water to congeal the particles. The apparatus also mixes surfactants into the water, and the mixture is driven by a pump to clean out the condensation deposited in a transmitting conduit in order to eliminate settled congealed particles that could block the transmitting conduit.
