    摘要: 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 preferably made from polysilicon or silicon. 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 removed, preferably using a plasma etch process.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a memory cell in a two-bit EEPROM device, the process includes forming an ONO layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, depositing a hard mask overlying the ONO layer, and patterning the hard mask. Preferably, the hard mask includes a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, titanium nitride, polysilicon, silicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxi-nitride, and silicon rich nitride. In one preferred embodiment, the process further includes implanting the semiconductor substrate with a p-type dopant at an angle substantially normal to the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate and annealing the semiconductor substrate upon implanting the semiconductor substrate with a p-type dopant. In one preferred embodiment, the process further includes implanting the semiconductor substrate with an n-type dopant.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including selective conductive contacts includes the step of depositing a resist over first and second memory device components, each of the first and second components comprising junctions formed in the substrate and a gate formed on the substrate between the junctions. The resist is then removed from the second components to thereby form a resist opening above each of the second component control gates and junctions. The resist is then etched to thereby expose each of the first component control gates but not the substrate surrounding the first component control gates. Conductive contacts are then formed on the exposed first component control gates, and the second component control gates and junctions.
