摘要:
A method is described for forming a non-volatile memory comprising dividing a substrate into at least a memory array area and a logic device area. An oxide/nitride/oxide (ONO) layer is firstly formed on the substrate, and a photoresist layer is formed on the ONO layer by bit line photo process, and a bit line ion implantation process is performed on the substrate to form the plurality of bit lines structure. Then, a first polysilicon layer is deposited to form a plurality of word lines by word line photo condition. The complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) ONO layer is used to store the charge and the ONO layer is only touched by the photoresist layer once. Furthermore, the separated adjust photo condition of the memory array area and the logic device area can create a safe oxide thickness to solve the problem of leakage path between bit lines to bit lines by using a self-aligned silicide process.

A fabrication method for a nonvolatile memory with a shallow junction is described. A gate structure, comprising an electron-trapping layer and a conductive layer, is formed on a substrate. A doped spacer is formed on the sidewall of the gate structure. Buried bit lines are further formed in the substrate beside the gate structure. Thereafter, thermal process is conducted to diffuse the dopants from the doped spacer into the substrate adjacent to the buried bit lines.

A method for forming an embedded non-volatile memory is disclosed. The embedded non-volatile memory, comprises memory array and logic device area, is formed on a substrate where an oxide/nitride/oxide (ONO) layer on a memory array, a gate oxide layer on a logic device area. The method is that transistors of memory array and transistors of logic device area are formed by two separately photolithography processes. In memory array, the pitch between the poly gate electrodes is equivalent and has wider spacer width. In logic device area, the pitch between the poly gate electrodes is different and has suitable spacer width. According to above-mentioned, by using separated spacer width in memory array and logic device area can avoid the leakage path between bit line to bit line in subsequently self-aligned salicide process.
摘要:
A silicon nitride read-only memory that prevents the antenna effect is described. The structure of the silicon nitride read-only memory includes a word-line, an electron-trapping layer and a metal protection layer. The word line covers the substrate. The electron-trapping layer is positioned between the word line and the substrate. The metal protection line covers the substrate and electrically connects the word line to a grounding doped region in the substrate. Moreover, the resistance of the metal protection line is higher than that of the word line. The charges generated during the manufacturing process are conducted to the substrate through the metal protection line. The resistance of the metal protection line is also higher than that of the word line. The metal protection line can be burnt out by a high current after the completion of the manufacturing process to ensure a normal operation for the read-only memory.
摘要:
Roughly described, a device having twin bit floating gate memory cells is fabricated by first providing a substrate having formed thereon, within a memory area, a composite charge storage film and a protective liner layer over the composite film. The memory area further includes oxide features over buried diffusion regions in the substrate, and polysilicon spacers over the composite film against the sidewalls of the oxide features. The method further involves etching an isolation trench through the composite film laterally between two of the oxide features, using the polysilicon spacers as a mask, and forming an insulator in the trench. A gate conductor is then formed overlying both the composite film and the filled isolation trench between the two oxide features.
