    摘要: Methods of fabricating integrated circuit devices are provided using composite spacer formation processes. A composite spacer structure is used to pattern and etch the layer stack when forming select features of the devices. A composite storage structure includes a first spacer formed from a first layer of spacer material and second and third spacers formed from a second layer of spacer material. The process is suitable for making devices with line and space sizes at less then the minimum resolvable feature size of the photolithographic processes being used. Moreover, equal line and space sizes at less than the minimum feature size. In one embodiment, an array of dual control gate non-volatile flash memory storage elements is formed using composite spacer structures. When forming the active areas of the substrate, with overlying strips of a layer stack and isolation regions therebetween, a composite spacer structure facilitates equal lengths of the strips and isolation regions therebetween.

    摘要: Floating gate structures are disclosed that have a projection that extends away from the surface of a substrate. This projection may provide the floating gate with increased surface area for coupling the floating gate and the control gate. In one embodiment, the word line extends downwards on each side of the floating gate to shield adjacent floating gates in the same string. In another embodiment, a process for fabricating floating gates with projections is disclosed. The projection may be formed so that it is self-aligned to the rest of the floating gate.
