    摘要: A method to improve LDD corner control during a local interconnect trench oxide etch on a semiconductor device by providing a first etch stop layer over the gate and active regions in the substrate and further providing thereon a second etch stop layer made of polysilicon and having of a different composition than that of the first etch stop layer. By forming a second etch stop layer of polysilicon the present invention improves the selectivity of the local interconnect trench oxide etch, thereby improving the ability of the first and second etch stop layers to stop the etch process at the critical interfaces.

    摘要: A memory device may include a substrate, a first dielectric layer formed over the substrate and a charge storage element formed over the first dielectric layer. The memory device may also include a second dielectric layer formed over the charge storage element and a control gate formed over the second dielectric layer. The memory device may further include an interlayer dielectric formed over the control gate and the substrate, where the interlayer dielectric includes a material that is substantially opaque to ultraviolet radiation.

    摘要: The density of a deposited silicon nitride layer is increased by laser thermal annealing in N2, thereby increasing etch selectivity with respect to an overlying oxide and, hence, avoiding damage to underlying silicide layers and gates. Embodiments include laser thermal annealing a silicon nitride layer deposited as an etch stop layer, e.g., in fabricating EEPROMs, to increase its density by up to about 8%, thereby increasing its etch selectivity with respect to an overlying BPSG layer to about {fraction (1/12)} to about {fraction (1/14)}.
