    摘要: A new process is provided whereby LDD regions for HV CMOS devices and for LV CMOS devices are created using one processing sequence. The gate electrodes for both the High Voltage and the Low Voltage devices are created on the surface of a silicon substrate. The High Voltage LDD (HVLDD) is performed self-aligned with the HV CMOS gate electrode, a gate anneal is performed for both the HV and the LV CMOS devices. The Low Voltage LDD (LVLDD) is performed self-aligned with the LV CMOS gate electrodes. The gate electrodes of the CMOS devices are after this completed with the formation of the gate spacers, the source/drain implants and the back-end processing that is required for CMOS devices.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for forming LDDs (Lightly Doped Drains) in high voltage devices employed in non-volatile memories and DDDs (Doubly Doped Drains) in flash memory applications. The high voltage device is formed by using two successive ion implantations at a tilted angle which provides an improved gradation of doped profile near the junction and the attendant improvement in junction breakdown at higher voltages. The doubly doped drain in a stacked flash memory cell is also formed by two implantations, but at an optimum tilt-angle, where the first implantation is lightly doped, and the second, heavily doped. The resulting DDD provides faster program speed, reduced program current, increase read current and reduced drain disturb in the flash memory cell.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming a stacked-gate flash memory cell having a shallow trench isolation with a high-step of oxide and high lateral coupling. This is accomplished by first depositing an unconventionally high or thick layer of nitride and then forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) through the nitride layer into the substrate, filling the STI with isolation oxide, removing the nitride thus leaving behind a deep opening about the filled STI, filling conformally the opening with a first polysilicon layer to form a floating gate, forming interpoly oxide layer over the floating gate, and then forming a second polysilicon layer to form the control gate and finally forming the self-aligned source of the stacked-gate flash memory cell of the invention. A stacked-gate flash memory cell is also provided having a shallow trench isolation with a high-step of oxide and high lateral coupling.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a flash memory cell, featuring self-aligned contact structures, overlying and contacting, self-aligned source, and self-aligned drain regions, located between stack gate structures, has been developed. The stack gate structures, located on an underlying silicon dioxide, tunnel oxide layer, are comprised of: a capping insulator shape; a polysilicon control gate shape; an inter-polysilicon dielectric shape; and a polysilicon floating gate shape. The use of self-aligned contact structures, and self-aligned source regions, allows increased cell densities to be achieved.

    摘要: When FLASH cells are made in association with STI (as opposed to LOCOS) it is often the case that stringers of silicon nitride are left behind after the spacers have been formed. This problem has been eliminated by requiring that the oxide in the STI trenches remain in place at the time that the silicon nitride spacers are formed. After that, the oxide is removed in the usual manner, following which a SALICIDE process is used to form a self aligned source line. When this sequence is followed no stringers are left behind on the walls of the trench, guaranteeing the absence of any open circuits or high resistance regions in the source line.
