    摘要: An electrically, programmable read-only memory cell is formed at a face (10) of a semiconductor layer (12). This cell comprises a doped drain region (36) and a doped source region (38) that are spaced from each other by a gate region (40). An ONO memory stack (28) is formed to extend over a portion of the gate region (40) that adjoins the drain region (36). The memory stack (28) is substantially spaced from the source region (38). A select gate insulator layer (30) is formed over the remainder of the gate region (40), and is preferably of the same thickness as the memory stack (28). A suitable gate conductor (32) is then deposited over insulator layers (26, 30). By being substantially spaced from source region (38), the memory stack (28) of the invention avoids the formation of ONO hole traps.

    摘要: An X-cell EEPROM array includes a plurality of common source regions (50) that each border on four gate regions (46), both formed at a face of a semiconductor substrate (10). Each gate region (46) further adjoins a common drain region (52). Each drain region (52) is a common drain for two EEPROM select and memory transistors. A common erase region (54) is implanted into the semiconductor layer (10) in a position remote from the source regions (50) and the drain regions (52). Four floating gate electrodes (40) extend over tunnel windows (22) that are formed on the semiconductor layer (10) in positions adjacent a single erase region (54). An integral contact (64) is made through multilevel oxide (56, 58) from a metal erase line (70) to each erase region (54).

A floating gate layer (20) overlies the first insulating layer (18) and is covered with a second insulating layer (22). The control gate layer (24) overlies the second insulating layer (22) and is covered by a third insulating layer (26). A passage (28) extends through the third insulating layer (26), control gate layer (24) and second insulating layer (22) and contains a sidewall insulator (30) on walls thereof. A tunnel oxide (32) resides within the passage (28) and is contacted by a programming electrode layer (34) which additionally overlies the third insulating layer (26) and fills the passage (28).

    摘要: A small-area single-transistor EEPROM memory cell includes buried bit lines (44,46) extending through the array and connecting together many memory cells. Formed above a channel area (25) and between the bit lines (44,46) are oxide-nitride-oxide layers (50,52,54) for providing isolation between overlying polysilicon word lines (56, 66) and the underlying conduction channel (25). The nitride layer (52) provides the charge retention mechanism for programming the memory cell. The word lines (56, 66) provide electrical contact to a number of memory cells in the row. Electrical contact is made to the word lines (56, 66) by metal contacts (68, 70), and to the bit lines (44,46) by metal contacts (72, 74) at the array periphery, thereby avoiding metal contacts to every memory cell of the array. A EEPROM memory cell of 4-5.2 microns can be fabricated.
