    摘要: An apparatus for characterizing capacitance and thickness of an insulating layer constructed between a conductive gate and a substrate has at least one test structure formed at a surface of a substrate. Each test structure has a bulk region formed of a semiconductor within the surface. Further the test structure has at least one source region and one drain region within the bulk region. A thin insulating layer is placed above the each source region, each drain region, and the bulk region. A conductive gate is placed above the thin insulating layer. A capacitance-voltage measuring device measures a capacitance value of the test structure, while forcing the bulk region between the source region and the drain region to be floating. An insulating layer thickness calculator determines the thickness of the insulating layer from the capacitance.

    摘要: An ensemble of test structures comprising arrays of polysilicon plate MOS capacitors for the measurement of electrical quality of the MOSFET gate insulation is described. The test structures also measure plasma damage to these gate insulators incurred during metal etching and plasma ashing of photoresist. The structures are formed, either on test wafers or in designated areas of wafers containing integrated circuit chips. One of the test structures is designed primarily to minimize plasma damage so that oxide quality, and defect densities may be measured unhampered by interface traps created by plasma exposure. Other structures provide different antenna-to-oxide area ratios, useful for assessing plasma induced oxide damage and breakdown. The current-voltage characteristics of the MOS capacitors are measured by probing the structures on the wafer, thereby providing timely process monitoring capability.

    摘要: A method of forming a flash memory cell is disclosed where nitrogen treatment or implantation is employed. Nitrogen introduced into the upper layers of the polysilicon of the floating gate is instrumental in forming an unusually thin layer comprising nitrogen-oxygen-silicon. This N--O--Si layer is formed while growing the bottom oxide layer of the oxide-nitride-oxide, or ONO, the intergate layer between the floating gate and the control gate of the flash memory cell. Nitrogen in the first polysilicon layer provides control for the thickness of the bottom oxide while at the same time suppressing the gradual gate oxidation (GGO) effect in the floating gate. The now augmented ONO composite through the N--O--Si layer provides an enhanced intergate dielectric and hence, a flash memory cell with more precise coupling ratio and better performance.

    摘要: A fully logic process compatible non-volatile memory cell has a well on a substrate, a pair of source and drain outside the well, a channel between the source and drain, a control gate in the well, and a floating gate having a first portion above the channel, and a second portion above the well. The control gate includes two regions having opposite conductivity types and a third region between the two regions and under the second portion of the floating gate, and thus eliminates the parasitic depletion capacitor in the coupling path of the cell, thereby improving the coupling ratio.

    摘要: A level shift circuit includes an input stage and an output stage coupled to each other by two nodes. The input stage changes the voltages on the nodes according to an input signal, and the output stage determines an output signal according to the voltages on the two nodes. In a transition state, the input stage provides a large current to charge or discharge the first node or the second node so as to quickly change the voltage thereon. In a steady state, the input stage lowers the current so as to reduce power consumption.

    摘要: A novel device and process is described for an ESD protection device for complimentary cascaded NMOS output circuit strings. The invention consists of a clamping NMOS with gate connected to the input or output pad through a diode and connected to ground through a resistor. The clamping device drain is connected to the signal gate of the active output NMOS and the clamping device source is connected to ground. An ESD event causes the diode to go into breakdown mode and the conduction current across the resistor places a positive voltage on the clamping device gate turning the clamping device on. This clamps the active NMOS signal gate to ground assuring that the output NMOS remains in an off condition during the ESD event. This prevents any damage due to high current flow through the active, or used output inverter string.

    摘要: A new cascaded NMOS transistor output circuit with enhanced ESD protection is achieved. A driver PMOS transistor has the source connected to a voltage supply, the gate connected to the input signal, and the drain connected to the output pad. A dummy PMOS transistor has the source and the gate connected to the voltage supply, and the drain connected to the output pad. A driver NMOS cascaded stack comprises first and second NMOS transistors. The first NMOS transistor has the source connected to ground and the gate connected to the input signal. The second NMOS transistor has the gate connected to the voltage supply, the source connected to the first NMOS transistor drain, and the drain connected to the output pad. A p− implanted region underlies the n+ region of the drain but does not underlie the n+ region of the source. A dummy NMOS cascaded stack comprises third and fourth NMOS transistors. The third NMOS transistor has the gate and the source connected to ground. The fourth NMOS transistor has the gate connected to the voltage supply, the source connected to the third MOS transistor drain, and the drain connected to the output pad. A p− implanted region underlies the n+ region of the drain but does not underlie the n+ region of the source.
