    摘要: To manufacture a memory device, a gate dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor body and a gate electrode layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer. The gate electrode layer is structured to form a gate electrode with sidewalls. An etching process is performed to remove parts of the gate dielectric layer from beneath the gate electrode on opposite sides of the gate electrode. Boundary layers, e.g., oxide layers, are formed on an upper surface of the semiconductor body and a lower surface of the gate electrode adjacent where the gate dielectric has been removed thereby leaving spaces. Charge-trapping layer material can then be deposited to fill the spaces. Source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body adjacent the gate electrode.

    摘要: Bitline conductor tracks are arranged parallel to one another and electrically insulated from a substrate provided with a basic doping. A memory layer sequence, especially a charge-trapping layer sequence with a dielectric memory layer between dielectric confinement layers, is provided at least in regions adjacent to the bitline conductor tracks. The memory cells comprise gate electrodes connected by wordlines, and channel regions below the gate electrodes. They can be programmed by the trapping of channel hot electrons that are accelerated between source and drain regions formed by induced bitlines that are generated by the application of voltages to the bitline conductor tracks.

    摘要: A semiconductor product includes, a substrate with a first dielectric layer having contact hole fillings for contacting active areas in the substrate. A second dielectric layer with contact holes is provided therein. The contact holes have a width in a first lateral direction. The product further includes conductive lines, each conductive line passing over contact holes in the second dielectric layer and contacting a plurality of contact hole fillings in the first dielectric layer. The conductive lines have a width, in the first lateral direction, that is smaller than the width of the contact holes of the second dielectric layer. The conductive lines are in direct mechanical contact with the contact hole fillings and thereby remove the need to provide any conventional “contact to interconnect” structures.

    摘要: A semiconductor product (1) includes a plurality of wordlines extending along a first lateral direction (x) along a substrate surface (22) and also includes contact structures (3) as well as filling structures (4) therebetween. Along the first direction (x) the contact structures (3) and the filling structures (4) are arranged in alternating order between two respective wordlines. Each contact structure (3) serves to connect two active areas (23) separated by one respective trench isolation filling (24) to a respective bitline (14). Accordingly, the width of the first contact structures (3) is much larger than the width of the bitlines (14) along the first direction (x). According to embodiments of the invention, tapered upper portions (9) of the contact structures (3) are shaped, the upper portions (9) having a width being significantly smaller than the width of the contact structures (3) along the first direction (x). Thereby, forming the bitlines (14) in direct contact to top surfaces (7) of contact structures (3) is possible without the risk of short circuits between adjacent bitlines (14).
