    摘要: A method to form an embedded FLASH integrated circuit with reduced processing steps is described. In the method a partial etch is performed on the control gate region of a polycrystalline silicon film (21). A multiple etch process is then used to simultaneously form the FLASH memory cell gate stack (54), the NMOS gate structure (94) and the PMOS gate structure (96).

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory array has a plurality of diffused horizontal source lines (17), each source line (17) positioned between a pair of parallel horizontal stack conductors (ST). The plurality of the diffused horizontal source lines (17) are connected to at least one common vertical source conductor (17a). The common vertical source conductor (17a) includes continuous diffused regions (11) under each of said pair of parallel horizontal stack conductors (ST). In addition, the common vertical source conductor (17a) includes a metal conductor coupled to the continuous diffused regions at contacts (SC) located between the pairs of parallel horizontal stack conductors (ST). As a result, the stack conductors (ST) are straight. The straight-stack conductor (ST) configuration allows use of less space between a vertical source conductor (17a) and adjacent drain-column lines (18) and eliminates any need for use of vertical columns of dummy cells (10). Optional use of a straight-stack (ST) that is trimmed to a narrower width at the vertical source conductor (17a) results in a more certain conductive path under the straight stack conductors (ST).

    摘要: A method for fabricating a CMOS integrated circuit (IC) and ICs therefrom includes the steps of providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface, wherein the semiconductor surface has PMOS regions for PMOS devices and NMOS regions for NMOS devices. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the PMOS regions and NMOS regions. An original gate electrode layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer. A gate masking layer is applied on the gate electrode layer. Etching is used to pattern the original gate electrode layer to simultaneously form original gate electrodes for the PMOS devices and NMOS devices. Source and drain regions are formed for the PMOS devices and NMOS devices. The original gate electrodes are removed for at least one of the PMOS devices and NMOS devices to form trenches using an etch process, such as a hydroxide-based solution, wherein at least a portion and generally substantially all of the gate dielectric layer is preserved. A metal comprising replacement gates is formed in the trenches, and fabrication of the IC is completed.
