    摘要: A method for making an improved Electrically Programmable Read-Only-Memory (EPROM) device having non-volatile memory cells with enhanced capacitive coupling was achieved. The array of memory cells consists of a single field effect transistor (FET) having an additional floating gate. The FET is formed in a well etched into an insulating layer on the substrate surface. After forming the FET gate oxide, a polysilicon layer is patterned to form a trench-like floating gate with increased capacitive coupling. An interlevel dielectric layer is deposited. A second poly-silicon layer is deposited in the well and chem/mech polished back to form the control gate. The insulating layer having the wells is selectively removed. Lightly doped source/drain areas, self-aligned to the FET gate electrodes, are implanted and after forming sidewall spacers on the gate electrodes, source/drain contacts and buried bit lines are formed by a second implant. An insulating layer is deposited over the array of FETs having contact openings to the FET control gates. Another polysilicon layer is deposited and patterned to form the word lines. The word lines and buried bit lines are connected to the peripheral circuits to complete the EPROM chip.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device is formed on a doped semiconductor substrate, and covered with a tunnel oxide layer covered in turn with a doped first polysilicon layer. The first polysilicon layer is patterned into a pair of floating gate electrodes. An interelectrode dielectric layer covers the floating gate electrodes, the sidewalls of the floating gate electrodes and the edges of the tunnel oxide below the floating gate electrodes. A second polysilicon layer overlies the interelectrode dielectric layer and is in turn covered by a tungsten silicide layer. A second dielectric layer covers the tungsten silicide layer. A control gate electrode which spans the pair of floating gate electrodes is formed by the second polysilicon layer, the tungsten silicide and the first and second dielectric layers patterned into a gate electrode stack providing a control gate electrode spanning across the pair of floating gate electrodes. There are source/drain regions in the substrate self-aligned with the control gate electrode.

    摘要: A new method of forming an improved buried contact junction is described. A first polysilicon layer is deposited overlying a gate silicon oxide layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. The first polysilicon and gate oxide layers are etched away where they are not covered by a buried contact mask to provide an opening to the semiconductor substrate. Ions are implanted through the opening into the semiconductor substrate to form a buried contact junction. A layer of dielectric material is deposited over the first polysilicon layer and over the semiconductor substrate within the opening. The layer is anisotropically etched to leave spacers on the sidewalls of the first polysilicon layer and adjacent the opening. A second layer of polysilicon is deposited overlying the first polysilicon layer and over the substrate within the opening. The second polysilicon layer is patterned to form gate electrodes and a polysilicon contact overlying the buried contact junction wherein the mask used for the patterning is misaligned and a portion of a spacer overlying the buried contact junction is exposed and wherein a portion of the second polysilicon layer other than that of the contact remains as residue. The second polysilicon layer residue is etched away wherein the exposed spacer protects the buried contact junction within the semiconductor substrate from the etching to complete the formation of a buried contact in the fabrication of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A process has been developed in which narrow base width, lateral bipolar junction transistors, and short channel length MOSFET devices, can be simultaneously fabricated, in a silicon on insulator layer. The narrow base width is defined by the width of an insulator sidewall spacer, formed on the sides of a polysilicon gate structure. The narrow base width, resulting in increased transistor gain and switching speed, along with reductions in parasitic capacitances, due to placing devices in a silicon on insulator layer, result in enhanced device performance.

    摘要: A method of forming an elevated source/drain structure with a solid phase diffused source/drain extension is described. A semiconductor substrate is provided having n-channel and p-channel active areas separated by isolation areas. Gate electrodes are formed overlying a gate oxide layer over each of the active areas. First spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate electrodes wherein the first spacers have a first dopant concentration. The first spacers in the p-channel active area are removed and second spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate electrodes in the p-channel active area wherein the second spacers have a second dopant concentration different from the first dopant concentration. An epitaxial layer is grown on the surface of the semiconductor substrate wherein the epitaxial layer forms the elevated source/drain structure. First ions are implanted into the n-channel active area and second ions are implanted into the p-channel active area. The first and second ions are driven in to form heavily doped regions within the semiconductor substrate underlying the elevated source/drain structure. The driving in also drives in the first and second dopant concentrations of the first and second spacers to form source/drain extensions within the n-channel and p-channel active areas underlying the first and second spacers to complete the formation of the elevated source/drain structure with solid-phase diffused source/drain extensions in the manufacture of an integrated circuit.
