摘要： A method and system for improving short channel effect on a floating gate device is disclosed. In one embodiment, a p-type implant is applied to a source side of the floating gate device. In addition, the present embodiment applies a p-type implant to a drain side of the floating gate device. The p-type implant to the drain side is performed at a different angle than the p-type implant to the source side. The p-type implant to the drain side is implanted to a greater depth than that of the p-type implant to the source side.

摘要： A semiconductor apparatus and method for producing shallow trench isolation. The method includes the steps providing a semiconductor substrate member fabricated having a thin barrier oxide layer on which are fabricated a plurality of spaced apart silicon nitride pads. The regions between the spaced apart nitride pads delineate U-shaped regions for forming shallow isolation trenches and are layered with silicon oxide and polysilicon. The U-shaped regions provide a buffer region of oxide and polysilicon material adjacent opposing silicon nitride pads that prevent erosion of the nitride during etch formation of the isolation trench. The polysilicon is further etched to form a wider, second U-shaped region having sloped sidewalls that provide opposing spacer-forming buffer material that facilitates forming a V-shaped isolation trench region into the semiconductor substrate member a predetermined depth without eroding the silicon nitride pads. The V-shaped trench is subsequently filled with silicon dioxide that is grown by a hot thermal oxide process. The upper portion of the V-shaped isolation trench may be further filled with deposited silicon dioxide followed by a chemical mechanical polishing process.

摘要： In the manufacture of an EPROM or EEPROM semiconductor device that includes a core region and a peripheral region, a nitride layer is formed over the core region and peripheral region, and an oxide layer is formed over the nitride layer. A layer of photoresist is provided over the oxide layer and is patterned to expose a portion of the oxide layer overlying the core region. A wet etch step is undertaken to remove the exposed portion of the oxide layer, using the patterned photoresist as a mask, and leaving exposed a portion of the nitride layer overlying the core region. After removal of the photoresist, the exposed portion of the nitride layer is etched by a wet etch step with hot phosphoric acid, using the pattered oxide layer as a mask.

摘要： A method of forming floating gate to improve tunnel oxide reliability for flash memory devices. A substrate having a source, drain, and channel regions is provided. A tunnel oxide layer is formed over the substrate. A floating gate is formed over the tunnel oxide and the channel region, the floating gate being multi-layered and having a second layer sandwiched between a first layer and a third layer. The first layer of the floating gate overlying the tunnel oxide layer includes an undoped or lightly doped material. The second layer is highly-doped. The third layer is in direct contact with a dielectric layer, e.g., an oxide-nitride-oxide stack, and is made of an undoped or lightly doped material. A dielectric material is formed over the floating gate and a control gate is formed over the dielectric material.
