    摘要: A self-aligned split gate bitcell includes first and second regions of charge storage material separated by a gap devoid of charge storage material. Spacers are formed along sidewalls of sacrificial layer extending above and on opposite sides of the bitcell stack, wherein the spacers are separated from one another by at least a gap length. Etching the bitcell stack, selective to the spacers, forms a gap that splits the bitcell stack into first and second gates which together form the split gate bitcell stack. A storage portion of bitcell stack is also etched, wherein etching extends the gap and separates the corresponding layer into first and second separate regions, the extended gap being devoid of charge storage material. Dielectric material is deposited over the gap and etched back to expose a top surface of the sacrificial layer, which is thereafter removed to expose sidewalls of the split gate bitcell stack.

    摘要: A process for forming an electronic device can be performed, such that as little as one gate electric layer may be formed within each region of the electronic device. In one embodiment, the electronic device can include an NVM array and other regions that have different gate dielectric layers. By protecting the field isolation regions within the NVM array and other regions while gate dielectric layer are formed, the field isolation regions may be exposed to as little as one oxide etch between the time any of the gate dielectric layers are formed the time such gate dielectric layers are covered by gate electrode layers. The process helps to reduce field isolation erosion and reduce problems associated therewith.
