摘要:
Systems and methodologies are disclosed for increasing the number of memory cells associated with a lithographic feature. The systems comprise memory elements that are formed on the sidewalls of the lithographic feature by employing various depositing and etching processes. The side wall memory cells can have a bit line of the wafer as the first electrode and operate with a second formed electrode to activate a portion of an organic matter that is formed there between.

A process for fabricating a memory cell in a two-bit EEPROM device including forming an ONO layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, depositing a hard mask overlying the ONO layer, and patterning the hard mask. The hard mask is made from tungsten, titanium, or titanium nitride. The process further includes doping the semiconductor substrate with boron causing p-type regions to form in the semiconductor substrate, and doping the semiconductor substrate with n-type dopants, such as arsenic, causing n-type regions to form in the semiconductor substrate. The exposed ONO layer is then etched to expose part of the semiconductor substrate, and a bit-line oxide region is formed overlying the semiconductor substrate. The hard mask is then stripped, preferably using an H2O2 solution.

摘要:
An improved transmission system for a document feeder, in which a constant one-way-rotating gear train is mounted in an output zone so as to cause a transmission shaft in the output zone to rotate in one direction only to send out a sheet of document no matter the driving gear rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise; therefore, as soon as a first sheet of document moves out of the scanning line without moving out of the output zone, the driving gear will change its rotation clockwise so as to have a next sheet of document fed into the scanning zone; therefore, the feeding distance between two sheets of document will be reduced, and consequently the whole feeding time for a document will be reduced, too.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a memory device with a self-aligned trap layer which is optimized for scaling is disclosed. In the present invention, a non-conformal film is deposited over the charge trapping layer to form a thick film on top of the core source/drain region and a pinch off and a void or a narrow channel at the top of the STI trench. An etch is performed on the non-conformal film to open pinch-off or widen the narrow channel in the non-conformal. The trapping layer is then completely or partially etched between the core cells. The non-conformal film is removed. And a top oxide is formed. The top oxide converts the remaining trap layer to oxide if the trapping layer is partially etched and thus isolate the trap layer.

Methods of selectively forming metal silicides on a memory device are provided. The methods can include forming a mask layer over the memory device; forming a patterned resist over the mask layer; removing upper portions of the patterned resist; forming a patterned mask layer by removing portions of the mask layer that are not covered by the patterned resist; and forming metal silicides on the memory device by a chemical reaction of a metal layer formed on the memory device with portions of the memory device that are not covered by the patterned mask layer. By preventing silicidation of underlying silicon containing layers/components of the memory device that are covered by the patterned mask layer, the methods can selectively form the metal silicides on the desired portions of the memory device.
