    摘要: In an example embodiment, a method comprises: forming first spacers adjacent to a memory cell formed on a substrate, each of the first spacers being formed in direct contact with the substrate, where forming the memory cell includes forming a control gate electrode and a tunnel oxide layer over the substrate and subsequently etching completely at least the control gate electrode and the tunnel oxide layer that are disposed beyond the memory cell; forming an interlayer dielectric layer over the memory cell and the first spacers; forming a contact hole through the interlayer dielectric layer to at least reach the substrate; subsequent to forming the contact hole, forming a second spacer adjacent to one of the first spacers, where a height of the second spacer is greater than a height of the first spacers, the second spacer substantially contacting the substrate and the interlayer dielectric layer; and forming a contact in the contact hole.

    摘要: An integrated circuit comprises a first poly-silicon region including a first poly-silicon layer, a second poly-silicon layer disposed over the first poly-silicon layer, a first poly-silicon finger associated with the first poly-silicon layer, and a second poly-silicon finger associated with the second poly-silicon layer. The first poly-silicon finger and the second poly-silicon finger are oriented in a substantially orthogonal manner relative to each other. The integrated circuit comprises a second poly-silicon gate region including the first poly-silicon layer. The first polysilicon gate region and the second polysilicon gate region each have different poly-silicon gate structures.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having a substrate, a dielectric layer over the substrate, a first gate conductor, an inter-gate dielectric structure and a second gate conductor is disclosed. A gate dielectric structure is disposed between the first gate conductor and the dielectric layer, and may include two or more dielectric films disposed in an alternating manner. The inter-gate dielectric structure may be disposed between the first gate conductor and the second gate conductor, and may include two or more dielectric films disposed in an alternating manner. The second gate conductor is formed in an L shape such that the second gate has a relatively low aspect ratio, which allows for a reduction in spacing between adjacent gates, while maintaining the required electrical isolation between the gates and contacts that may subsequently be formed.
