    摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a select gate over a substrate and forming a charge storage layer and a control gate over the select gate. The charge storage layer and control gate overlap a first sidewall of the select gate and the charge storage layer is between the select gate and the control gate. A protective spacer is formed, wherein the protective spacer has a first portion adjacent a first sidewall of the charge storage layer and on the substrate, and the protective spacer is thinned. After thinning the protective spacer, a sidewall spacer is formed over the protective spacer, wherein the sidewall spacer has a first portion on the substrate, and the first portion of the protective spacer is between the first sidewall of the control gate and the first portion of the sidewall spacer.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an embedded flash memory device is provided. A pair of gate stacks are formed spaced over a semiconductor substrate, and including floating gates and control gates over the floating gates. A common gate layer is formed over the gate stacks and the semiconductor substrate, and lining sidewalls of the gate stacks. A first etch is performed into the common gate layer to recess an upper surface of the common gate layer to below upper surfaces respectively of the gate stacks, and to form an erase gate between the gate stacks. Hard masks are respectively formed over the erase gate, a word line region of the common gate layer, and a logic gate region of the common gate layer. A second etch is performed into the common gate layer with the hard masks in place to concurrently form a word line and a logic gate.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a structure and method for reducing CMP dishing in integrated circuits. In some embodiments, the structure has a semiconductor substrate with an embedded memory region and a periphery region. one or more dummy structures are formed between the memory region and the periphery region. Placement of the dummy structures between the embedded memory region and the periphery region causes the surface of a deposition layer therebetween to become more planar after being polished without resulting in a dishing effect. The reduced recess reduces metal residue formation and thus leakage and shorting of current due to metal residue. Further, less dishing will reduce the polysilicon loss of active devices. In some embodiments, one of the dummy structures is formed with an angled sidewall which eliminates the need for a boundary cut etch process.
