    摘要: The present invention is a semiconductor contact formation system and method. Contact insulation regions are formed with multiple etch stop sublayers that facilitate formation of contacts. This contact formation process provides relatively small substrate connections while addressing critical lithographic printing limitation concerns in forming contact holes with small dimensions. In one embodiment, a multiple etch stop insulation layer comprising multiple etch stop layers is deposited. A contact region is formed in the multiple etch stop insulation layer by selectively removing (e.g., etching) some of the multiple etch stop insulation layer. In one embodiment, a larger portion of the multiple etch stop insulation layer is removed close to the metal layer and a smaller portion is removed closer to the substrate. The different contact region widths are achieved by performing multiple etching processes controlled by the multiple etch stop layers in the multiple etch stop insulation layer and spacer formation to shrink contact size at a bottom portion. Electrical conducting material (e.g., tungsten) is deposited in the contact region.

    摘要: A technique for forming at least part of an array of a dual bit memory core is disclosed. A Safier material is utilized in the formation process to reduce the size of buried bitlines in the memory, which is suitable for use in storing data for computers and the like. The smaller (e.g., narrower) bitlines facilitate increased packing densities while maintaining an effective channel length between the bitlines. The separation between the bitlines allows dual bits that are stored above the channel within a charge trapping layer to remain sufficiently separated so as to not interfere with one another. In this manner, one bit can be operated on (e.g., for read, write or erase operations) without substantially or adversely affecting the other bit. Additionally, bit separation is preserved and leakage currents, cross talk, as well as other adverse effects that can result from narrow channels are mitigated, and the memory device is allowed to operate as desired.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to a method of forming a graded junction within a semiconductor substrate. A first masking pattern having a first opening characterized by a first lateral dimension is formed over the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is doped with a first dopant, using the first masking pattern as a doping mask, thereby forming a first dopant region in the semiconductor substrate underlying the first opening. The first masking pattern is swelled to decrease the first lateral dimension of the first opening to a second lateral dimension. The semiconductor substrate is then doped with a second dopant, using the swelled first masking pattern as a doping mask, thereby forming a second dopant region in the semiconductor substrate, and furthermore defining a graded junction within the semiconductor substrate.
