    摘要: Embedded DRAM cells within an ASIC having a pass transistor with a gate oxide having a thickness equal to the thickness of the gate oxide of the logic core. This allows the embedded DRAM cell to be activated by signals having voltage levels equal to the voltage levels created by the logic core. If the gate oxide has a thickness that is equal to the gate oxide thickness of the peripheral circuits, a signal provided by the word line voltage generator has voltage levels equal to those provided by peripheral circuits, and signal provided by the bit line voltage generator has voltage levels equal to those provided by logic circuits within the logic core. If the gate oxide has a thickness that is equal to the thickness of the gate oxide of the logic circuits, a signal provided by the word line voltage generator has voltage levels equal to those provided by the logic circuits, and the bit line voltage generator has voltage levels equal to those provided by the logic circuits.

    摘要: In this invention is disclosed a method of burn-in testing either DRAM's or FeRAM's at the wafer level. A stress voltage is applied across all storage capacitors of a DRAM or a FeRAM during a wafer level burn-in test to weed out memory chips with weak memory cells. Three pads are added to the memory chips to accommodate a burn-in signal, a word line voltage and a stress voltage. The burn-in signal disables normal memory operations, powers on all word lines, and connects a stress voltage across the storage capacitors of the memory cells. The stress voltage across the storage capacitors is the difference between the externally applied stress voltage and a low voltage from the bit lines that is connected to the memory cells by means of the word lines. The wafer level burn-in provides a way to improve throughput by eliminating weak product early in the manufacturing process.

    摘要: A method for making an improved Electrically Programmable Read-Only-Memory (EPROM) device having non-volatile memory cells with enhanced capacitive coupling was achieved. The array of memory cells consists of a single field effect transistor (FET) having an additional floating gate. The FET is formed in a well etched into an insulating layer on the substrate surface. After forming the FET gate oxide, a polysilicon layer is patterned to form a trench-like floating gate with increased capacitive coupling. An interlevel dielectric layer is deposited. A second poly-silicon layer is deposited in the well and chem/mech polished back to form the control gate. The insulating layer having the wells is selectively removed. Lightly doped source/drain areas, self-aligned to the FET gate electrodes, are implanted and after forming sidewall spacers on the gate electrodes, source/drain contacts and buried bit lines are formed by a second implant. An insulating layer is deposited over the array of FETs having contact openings to the FET control gates. Another polysilicon layer is deposited and patterned to form the word lines. The word lines and buried bit lines are connected to the peripheral circuits to complete the EPROM chip.

    摘要: In accordance with still another aspect of this invention, a set of cross-coupled inverters provide a bistable flip flop formed on a semiconductor substrate with a pair of FOX regions defining an area on the surface of a substrate. The substrate is composed of a semiconductor material with a pair of buried contact regions in the silicon substrate juxtaposed with the FOX regions. A control gate electrode is formed on a gate oxide layer on the surface of the substrate between the pair of the FOX regions. A source region and drain region are formed in the substrate juxtaposed with the control gate electrode to form a parasitic FET device between the FOX regions, the source region and the drain region and reaching to separate ones of the buried contact regions. An interpolysilicon dielectric layer over the control gate electrode covers the device and the power supply conductor passes over the control gate electrode.

    摘要: A method for improving the surface topology silicon wafers during the fabrication of integrated circuits is described. Regions of silicon oxide isolation, incorporated into the silicon surface by thermal oxidation, frequently present an undesirable surface topology consisting of raised regions around their perimeter. These protrusions undermine the integrity of metallization lines subsequently deposited over them. Specifically, the metal lines tend to be thinner over the surface protrusions and consequently incur high failure rates. After the isolation regions are incorporated, a silicon oxide layer is deposited which is then etched back using a unidirectional anisotropic etching step which leaves behind portions of the layer in the regions of the steepest surface gradients. This results in smoothing out the irregularities and consequently provides for more uniform and reliable metallization lines.

    摘要: A new method of forming an improved buried contact junction is described. A first polysilicon layer is deposited overlying a gate silicon oxide layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. The first polysilicon and gate oxide layers are etched away where they are not covered by a buried contact mask to provide an opening to the semiconductor substrate. Ions are implanted through the opening into the semiconductor substrate to form a buried contact junction. A layer of dielectric material is deposited over the first polysilicon layer and over the semiconductor substrate within the opening. The layer is anisotropically etched to leave spacers on the sidewalls of the first polysilicon layer and adjacent the opening. A second layer of polysilicon is deposited overlying the first polysilicon layer and over the substrate within the opening. The second polysilicon layer is patterned to form gate electrodes and a polysilicon contact overlying the buried contact junction wherein the mask used for the patterning is misaligned and a portion of a spacer overlying the buried contact junction is exposed and wherein a portion of the second polysilicon layer other than that of the contact remains as residue. The second polysilicon layer residue is etched away wherein the exposed spacer protects the buried contact junction within the semiconductor substrate from the etching to complete the formation of a buried contact in the fabrication of an integrated circuit.
