    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of fabricating dual-level flash memory cells. A first active region and a second active region are formed in a substrate. A trench is formed in the substrate between the first active region and the second active region. A first insulator dielectric is formed on the substrate and within the trench forming a vertical structure. A first poly layer is formed on the first insulator dielectric. A second insulator dielectric is formed on at least a portion of the first poly layer. A second poly layer is formed on the second insulator dielectric.

    Abstract: The present invention is a dual-level flash memory cell design that stores 3 or more bits of information per transistor. The dual-level memory cell stores two lower bits in a first level and stores an upper bit in a second level. The lower bits are programmed, erased and read by alternate modes of operation wherein active regions operate as source and drain, and then drain and source. The upper bit is programmed and erased independent of the lower bits. However, reading of the upper bit depends upon read values of the lower bits. Additional levels are employed to store more than 3 bits of information.

    Abstract: A multiple-channel semiconductor device has fully or partially depleted quantum wells and is especially useful in ultra large scale integration devices, such as CMOSFETs. Multiple channel regions are provided on a substrate with a gate electrode formed on the uppermost channel region, separated by a gate oxide, for example. The vertical stacking of multiple channels and the gate electrode permit increased drive current in a semiconductor device without increasing the silicon area occupied by the device.

    Abstract: Gate dielectric degradation due to plasma damage during replacement metal gate processing is cured and prevented from further plasma degradation by treatment of the gate dielectric after removing the polysilicon gate. Embodiments include low temperature vacuum annealing after metal deposition and CMP, annealing in oxygen and argon, ozone or a forming gas before metal deposition, or heat soaking in silane or disilane, before metal deposition.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for manufacturing semiconductor devices with silicide metal gates, wherein a single-step anneal is used to react a metal such as cobalt or nickel with substantially all of a polysilicon gate structure while source/drain regions are covered. A second phase conductive metal silicide is formed consuming substantially all of the polysilicon and providing a substantially uniform work function at the silicide/gate oxide interface.
