A Read-Only Memory (ROM) device produced by self-aligned implantation. First, a non-coded mask ROM with a silicon substrate, a plurality of bit-lines formed in the substrate, a gate oxide layer formed on the bit-lines, and a plurality of word-lines formed on the gate oxide, which together form arrays of memory cells, is provided. Next, an aligning layer is formed above the word-lines. A photoresist is thereafter coated on the surface of the aligning layer. Then, portions of the photoresist not covered by a mask pattern are etched away to the aligning layer so as to provide openings exposing portions of the memory cells that will be programmed to operate in a first conduction state. Portions of the aligning layer exposed through the openings are then removed, after which impurities are implanted through the openings and into the substrate to enable the memory cells that are to operate in the first conduction state, and leave other non-programmed memory cells operating in a second conduction state.

A device and a method of formation on a substrate of a semiconductor interconnection via structure for semiconductor devices is provided. Initially, form a first metal layer on the substrate, a first dielectric layer upon the first metal layer, and a mask upon the dielectric layer with a metal etching pattern therein. Then, etch through the first dielectric layer and the first metal layer to the substrate forming trenches between metal lines formed from the first metal layer covered with the dielectric layer. Next, form a first etch stop layer upon the surface of the the first dielectric layer and planarize it, a second dielectric layer above the etch stop layer, and a second etch stop layer on the second dielectric layer. Then, pattern the second dielectric and the second etch stop layer and etch to form a via hole down to a surface of the first metal layer. Then, form a second metal layer and a metal plug in the via hole extending into contact with the first metal layer.

A method of fabricating MOSFET device with polycide gate, which includes a polysilicon layer and a refractory metal silicide layer, is described. After a thin oxide layer is formed by a thermal process, the refractory metal silicide layer is transformed from an amorphous form to a crystalline form that leads to peeling and surface roughness problems in the prior art. This method utilizes an additional ion implantation step to transform the refractory metal silicide layer from the crystalline form back into the amorphous form. Hence, the problems of peeling and surface roughness of the polycide gate can be overcome.
摘要:
A method of fabricating semiconductor integrated circuit non-volatile memory devices having memory cell isolation between the memory cells without increasing device dimension. Active regions are defined by forming field oxide layers on a on semiconductor substrate of a first type. Lightly-doped regions of the first type are formed underneath field oxide layers. Additional heavily-doped regions of the first type are formed within each of the lightly-doped regions. Active regions on the semiconductor substrate are implanted with impurities of a second type to form drains and sources for the memory cells. Floating gate layers are formed on tunnel oxide layers, the tunnel oxide layers separating the floating gate layers from the active regions. The presence of the lightly-doped region improves the breakdown voltage, while the additional heavily-doped regions within each of the lightly-doped regions increases threshold and punchthrough voltages for the inherent parasitic transistors of the memory device.

An EEPROM cell is made by forming a first dielectric layer on a substrate, forming a tunnel mask with an tunnel opening used for etching the dielectric layer to form a tunnel window, doping a region of the substrate through the tunnel window and stripping the tunnel mask. A spacer frame is made about the perithery of the window over the first doped region of the substrate. A second dielectric layer is formed over the first doped region within the spacer frame which is then removed. Tunnel oxide is deposited on the exposed surface of the first doped region, a floating gate layer is deposited, mask and etched. The mask is stripped Ions are implanted into buried N+ source/drain regions through exposed surfaces of the gate oxide near the floating gate. A blanket interconductor layer covers the device. A control gate layer is deposited, mask and etched. The control gate mask is then removed.

The channel area is self aligned through this cavity. A fully overlapped Lightly-Doped-Drain structure is used to improve device characteristics for submicron devices. A deep boron implant region, self aligned through the gate structure, is used to improve punch through voltage.

A split-gate memory cell and its fabrication are described. The semiconductor substrate is of a first conductivity type. The process begins by forming a conductive gate overlying the substrate, but electrically insulated therefrom by a layer of a first dielectric material. The gate comprises a first layer of conductive material, a second layer of dielectric material, and a third layer also composed of a second conductive layer. First and second sidewall dielectric spacers are formed adjacent to the first edge and the second opposing edge, respectively of the gate. Ions are implanted into the substrate. Those ions comprise a species of an opposite conductivity type. The ions are implanted at a substantial acute angle relative to a vertical angle with respect to the substrate. A third conductive material is deposited upon the second conductive layer and the first and second sidewall dielectric spacers. The third conductive material is in electrical contact with the second conductive layer.

A dual photo-resist process for fabricating capacitor plates of a DRAM is disclosed including the step of forming a capacitor on a semiconductor IC surface. A first plurality of photo-resist regions which are separated from each other by spaces are then formed on the capacitor plate layer. At least one second photo-resist region is then formed on the capacitor plate layer which partially fills a space between, and is adjacent to one of, two of the first photo-resist regions. The capacitor plate layer is then etched below the spaces between the first and second photo-resist regions to form a plurality of individual capacitor plates including one capacitor plate for each DRAM cell.
摘要:
A process of fabricating a split gate flash memory cell first forms a stacked-gate structure on a face of a substrate. The stacked-gate structure includes a tunnel oxide, a polysilicon floating gate, an inter-poly dielectric and a first polysilicon control gate. A drain region is formed into the substrate at one side of the stacked-gate structure, and is self-aligned with the stacked-gate structure. Thermal oxidation is performed to form sidewall oxides on the sidewalls of the stacked-gate structure, and gate oxide on the substrate. A second polysilicon control gate is deposited over the first polysilicon control gate, sidewall oxides and gate oxide, and is connected with the first polysilicon control gate to form a common control gate. A source region is formed in the substrate at another side of the stacked-gate structure, and is self-aligned with the substantially upright portion of the second polysilicon control gate located at the another side of the stacked-gate structure.
