    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a layer over a substrate, and doping the layer with a dopant, after which the layer is laser thermal annealed. The layer can be a nitride, an oxide, or a polysilicon layer. The dopants can be arsenic, phosphorous, boron, or nitrogen. During the laser thermal annealing, certain portions of a surface of the semiconductor device are laser thermal annealed and other portions of a surface of the semiconductor device are not exposed. Also, the surface of the layer is smoother after the laser thermal annealing.

    摘要: A device and method for manufacturing thereof for a MirrorBit® Flash memory includes providing a semiconductor substrate and successively depositing a first insulating layer, a charge-trapping layer, and a second insulating layer. First and second bitlines are implanted and wordlines are formed before completing the memory. Spacers are formed between the wordlines and an inter-layer dielectric layer is formed over the wordlines. One or more of the second insulating layer, wordlines, spacers, and inter-layer dielectric layers are deuterated, replacing hydrogen bonds with deuterium, thus improving data retention and substantially reducing charge loss.

    摘要: The present invention provides a process for saliciding word lines in a virtual ground array flash memory device without causing shorting between bit lines. According to one aspect of the invention, saliciding takes place prior to patterning one or more layers of a memory cell stack. The unpatterned layers protect the substrate between word lines from becoming salicided. The invention provides virtual ground array flash memory devices with doped and salicided word lines, but no shorting between bit lines, even in virtual ground arrays where there are no oxide island isolation regions between word lines. Potential advantages of such structures include reduced size, reduced number of processing steps, and reduced exposure to high temperature cycling.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate having bitlines under a charge-trapping material over a core region and a gate insulator material over a periphery region. A wordline-gate material, a hard mask, and a first photoresist are deposited and patterned over the core region while covering the periphery region. After removing the first photoresist, wordlines are formed from the wordline-gate material in the core region. An anti-reflective coating and a second photoresist are deposited and patterned over the periphery region and covering the core region. The anti-reflective coating is removable without damaging the charge-trapping material. After removing the second photoresist and the anti-reflective coating, gates are formed from the wordline-gate material in the periphery region and the integrated circuit completed.
