Abstract:
A method for forming wires of nano-meter grade, wherein by printing or dispensing a solution on a substrate, the solute contained in the solution will form two regions with different thicknesses on the substrate when the solvent has dried. After an etching process is comprehensively applied on the substrate, the region with thinner solute will be completely removed, and only the region with the thicker solute remains as the desired wires. With such a process, the line width of the created wires is narrowed to reach the nano-grade.
Abstract:
An ultraviolet-programmable P-type Mask ROM is described. The threshold voltages of all memory cells are raised at first to make each memory cell to be in a first logic state, in which the channel is hard to switch on, in order to prevent a leakage current. After the bit lines and the word lines are formed, the Mask ROM is programmed by irradiating the substrate with UV light to inject electrons into the ONO layer under the openings to make the memory cells under the openings be in a second logic state.

The non-volatile memory includes a word-line having a high resistance portion and a memory cell portion on a substrate and a charge trapping layer located between the word-line and the substrate. The high resistance portion is electrically connected with a grounding doped region in the substrate and the memory cell portion is electrically connected with a metal interconnect over the substrate.

The present invention provides a method utilizing the fabrication process of poly-Si spacers to build a flash memory with 2bit/cell. In the present invention, recessed poly-Si spacers are used to fabricate discontinuous floating gates below a control gate to build a flash memory with 2bit/cell. The present invention is characterized in that the fabrication process of poly-Si spacers is exploited to complete the fabrication process of floating gates in automatic alignment way without any extra mask process. Moreover, each memory cell in this flash memory can store two bits, hence increasing the memory capacity.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a Mask ROM is described, in which an ONO composite layer and a plurality of gate structures are formed on a substrate. A plurality of bit-lines are formed in the substrate between the gate structures and a plurality of word-lines are formed over the substrate to electrically connect with the gate structures. A chemical vapor deposition anti-reflective coating (CVD-ARC) with coding windows therein and an inter-layer dielectric layer are formed over the substrate. A coding process is then performed by using UV light to form a plurality of charged coding regions in the charge trapping layer not covered by the CVD-ARC. A plurality of plugs are then formed in the coding windows.
Abstract:
A driver transistor structure of an inkjet print head chip and the method for making the same. Having several body contacts distributed all over the source of an active region of a large area MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), an equivalent RB from the MOSFET channel to the body contact is greatly diminished as the distance between them is reduced, thereby preventing the occurrence of a secondary breakdown. Since the body contact is installed inside the active region without defining in advance a body contact region and making the body contact in the field oxide layer outside the active region, about 20% of the driver transistor structure can be saved to lower the average manufacturing cost of each chip.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating a nitride read only memory. A trapping dielectric sandwiched structure, including an insulation layer, a charge trap layer and an insulation layer, is formed on a substrate. An opening with indented sidewalls is formed in the insulation layer. A thermal oxide layer is formed to fill the opening, such that the indented sidewalls are completely sealed. The charge trap layer is thus sealed by the insulation layers and the thermal oxide layer to avoid the direct contact between the control gate and the charge trap layer, so as to prevent the data loss.
Abstract:
The presents invention provides an initialization method of a P-type silicon nitride read only memory. A P-type silicon nitride read only memory is provided. An ultra-violet light is uniformly radiated onto the P-type silicon nitride read only memory. Electron traps are thus evenly distributed in a silicon nitride layer of the P-type silicon nitride read only memory. The P-type silicon nitride read only memory is thus uniformly programmed to a low threshold voltage (Low|Vt|) to achieve the device initialization effect.
Abstract:
A method of simultaneously forming a dual damascence runner and a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor on a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer has a first dielectric layer, which has at least a first conductive layer and at least a bottom electrode of the MIM capacitor. The surfaces of the first conductive layer and the bottom electrode of the MIM capacitor are covered with a barrier layer. A second dielectric layer, a stop layer and a third dielectric layer are formed on the surface of the barrier layer and form a sandwiched structure. A first photoresist layer is formed and the third dielectric layer is anisotropically etched down to the stop layer, thus forming a trench and an opening in the third dielectric layer above the conductive layer and the bottom electrode of the MIM capacitor. A second photoresist layer is formed and the stop layer and the second dielectric layer are etched at a bottom of the opening down to the surface of the barrier layer so as to form an opening of the top electrode. A third photoresist layer is formed and the stop layer, the second dielectric layer and the barrier layer are etched through the contact opening down to the surface of the first conductive layer so as to form a contact hole.
