摘要:
This invention discloses a semiconductor wafer for manufacturing electronic circuit thereon. The semiconductor substrate further includes an etch-back indicator that includes trenches of different sizes having polysilicon filled in the trenches and then completely removed from some of the trenches of greater planar trench dimensions and the polysilicon still remaining in a bottom portion in some of the trenches having smaller planar trench dimensions.

This invention discloses a one-time programmable (OTP) memory cell. The OTP memory cell includes a dielectric layer disposed between two conductive polysilicon segments wherein the dielectric layer is ready to change from a non-conductive state to a conductive state through an induced voltage breakdown. In a preferred embodiment, one of the conductive polysilicon segments further includes an etch undercut configuration for conveniently inducing the voltage breakdown in the dielectric layer. In a preferred embodiment, the dielectric layer is further formed as sidewalls covering the edges and corners of a first polysilicon segments to conveniently induce a voltage breakdown in the dielectric layer by the edge and corner electrical field effects.

This invention discloses an improved MOSFET devices manufactured with a trenched gate by forming part of the trench on a (110) crystal orientation of a semiconductor substrate. The trench is covering with a dielectric oxide layer along the sidewalls and the bottom surface or the termination of the trench formed along different crystal orientations of the semiconductor substrate. Special manufacturing processes such as oxide annealing process, special mask or SOG processes are implemented to overcome the limitations of the non-uniform dielectric layer growth.

Cesium is implanted into the gate oxide layer of a vertical trench-gated MOSFET. The cesium, which is an electropositive material, reduces the threshold voltage of the device and lowers the on-resistance by improving the accumulation region adjacent the bottom of the trench.
