Abstract:
A method for forming a vertical nitride read-only memory cell. A substrate having at least one trench is provided. A first conductive layer is formed in the lower trench and insulated from the substrate to serve as a source line. A first doping region is formed in the substrate adjacent to the top of the first conductive layer. A first insulating layer is formed on the first conductive layer. A second doping region is formed in the substrate adjacent to the top of the trench. A second insulating layer is formed over the sidewall of the trench and on the first insulating layer to serve as a gate dielectric layer. A second conductive layer is formed in the upper trench to serve as a control gate. A vertical nitride read-only memory cell is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, including the following steps. A substrate having a plurality of pillars is provided, wherein a plurality of trenches are formed around each pillar. A doped region is formed in the substrate and below each pillar. The doped region below each trench is removed to form an opening such that the doped regions below the adjacent pillars are separated from each other. A shielding layer is formed in each opening.
Abstract:
A method for forming a vertical nitride read-only memory cell. First, a substrate having at least one trench is provided. Next, a masking layer is formed over the sidewall of the trench. Next, ion implantation is performed on the substrate to respectively form doping areas in the substrate near its surface and the bottom of the substrate trench to serve as bit lines. Next, bit line oxides are formed over each of the doping areas and an oxide layer is formed overlying the mask layer by thermal oxidation. Finally, a conductive layer is formed overlying the bit line oxides and fills in the trench to serve as a word line.
Abstract:
A method of forming a conductive contact includes forming a structure comprising an upper surface joining with a sidewall surface. The sidewall surface contains elemental-form silicon. Silicon is epitaxially grown from the sidewall surface. Dielectric material is formed over the upper surface and the epitaxially-grown silicon. A conductive contact is formed through the dielectric material to conductively connect with the upper surface.
