A process for manufacturing bonding pad adapted for use with an aluminum wire that resists stresses that would otherwise peel the pad from the substrate. The pad has a polysilicon layer adhered to an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, a overlying refractory metal polycide layer, a second polysilicon layer, a refractory metal layer, and a thick aluminum alloy bonding pad.

A new stacked capacitor structure having increased capacitance and a method of fabrication was accomplished. The capacitor stores data in the form of stored charge and together with a field effect transistor (MOSFET) make up the individual Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) storage cells on a DRAM chip. The improved capacitor is fabricated using an electrically conducting layer in the bottom electrode of the capacitor, which is substantially different in composition from silicon. The conducting layer preferably being a refractory metal or a refactory metal silicides, such as, tungsten (W) or tungsten silicide (WSi). The bottom electrode is formed from a multilayer composed of a thin polysilicon layer, the conducting layer and an upper thicker polysilicon layer. Vertical capacitor sidewalls are formed from the upper polysilicon layer by photoresist masking and then etching to the conducting layer. The conducting layer provides an etch end point for accurately etching to the correct depth without over etching. This provides a repeatable and more manufacturable process. The stacked capacitor is then completed by depositing a high dielectric constant insulator layer over the bottom electrode and then forming the top capacitor electrode, thereby completing the stacked capacitor.

A method for forming, and a resultant structure of, a top floating gate FLASH EEPROM cell are described. There is a first insulating structure over a silicon substrate, whereby the first insulating structure is a gate oxide. A first conductive structure is formed over the first insulating structure, whereby the first conductive structure is a control gate. There is a first insulating layer over the surfaces of the first conductive structure, whereby the first insulating layer is an interpoly dielectric. There is a second conductive structure formed over the first insulating layer and over a portion of the silicon substrate adjacent to the first insulating structure, whereby the second conductive structure is a floating gate. A second insulating layer is formed between the silicon substrate and the second conductive structure, whereby the second insulating layer is a tunnel oxide. Active regions in the silicon substrate, implanted with a conductivity-imparting dopant, are formed under the second insulating layer but are horizontally a distance from the first insulating structure.

A self-aligned coding process for mask ROM is disclosed. First, a substrate having a plurality of bit-lines formed therein, a gate oxide layer formed on the bit-lines, and a plurality of word-lines formed on the gate oxide, which together construct an array of memory cells, is provided. Next, a barrier layer is formed on the word-lines. A silicon dioxide layer is formed on the gate oxide between the word-lines by using liquid phase deposition, wherein the thickness of the silicon dioxide layer is larger than that of the word-lines. Then, the barrier layer is removed. A mask layer is formed on the substrate exposing parts of the memory cells that will be programmed. Finally, impurities are implanted into the substrate not covered by the mask layer and the silicon dioxide layer to make the memory cells that will be programmed operating in a first state, and leave other non-programmed memory cells operating in a second state.

A method for forming a thin, uniform top silicon layer using bonded-wafer SOI technology is described. A dielectric layer is formed on a first surface of a first silicon substrate. A trench is formed in a first surface of a second silicon substrate. A polishing stopper is formed in the trench. A second dielectric layer with a smooth top surface is formed over the polishing stopper and over the first surface of the second silicon substrate. The smooth top surface of the second dielectric layer of the second silicon substrate is bonded to the dielectric layer of the first silicon substrate. Material is removed from the exposed surface of the second silicon substrate to form the silicon layer with well-controlled thickness, having a top surface co-planar with the polishing stopper.

A buried bit line ROM is disclosed having orthogonal sets of buried bit lines and polysilicon word lines. Polysilicon spacers are disposed on either side of each of the bit lines.

A new method of fabricating a high coupling ratio Flash EEPROM memory cell is achieved. A layer of silicon dioxide is provided over the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A layer of silicon nitride is deposited over the silicon dioxide layer and patterned. The silicon dioxide layer not covered by the patterned silicon nitride layer is removed, thereby exposing portions of the substrate. A tunnel oxide layer is grown on the exposed portions of the semiconductor substrate. Silicon nitride spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the patterned silicon nitride layer. Ions are implanted into the substrate using the silicon nitride layer and spacers as a mask to form implanted regions within the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is oxidized where the implanted regions have been formed leaving the thin tunnel oxide only under the silicon nitride spacers. The silicon nitride layer and spacers are removed. A first polysilicon layer is deposited over the surface of the silicon dioxide and tunnel oxide layers and patterned to form a floating gate. An interpoly dielectric layer is deposited over the patterned first polysilicon layer followed by a second polysilicon layer. The second polysilicon layer is patterned to form a control gate. Passivation and metallization complete the fabrication of the memory cell with improved coupling ratio.

A ROM coding method with 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 ROM coding method with a self-aligned implantation. First, a non-coded mask ROM with a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of bit-lines formed on the semiconductor substrate, a gate oxide formed over the semiconductor substrate and the bit-line, and a plurality of word-lines formed above the gate oxide, which together form memory cells, is provided. Before the word-lines are formed, a barrier material is applied over spacing strips between the locations where the word-lines are to be formed. The barrier material serves as a mask through which impurities are implanted into the substrate to selectively program the memory cells to operate in either a first or second conduction state.
