    摘要: A method of manufacturing for a MirrorBit® Flash memory includes depositing a charge-trapping material over a semiconductor substrate and implanting first and second bitlines in the semiconductor substrate. A wordline material is deposited over the charge-trapping dielectric material and a hard mask material deposited thereon. An anti-reflective coating (ARC) material is deposited on the hard mask material and a photoresist material is deposited on the ARC followed by processing the photoresist material and the ARC material to form a photomask of a patterned photoresist and a patterned ARC. The hard mask material is processed using the photomask to form a hard mask. The patterned photoresist is removed and then the patterned ARC without damaging the hard mask or the wordline material. The wordline material is processed using the hard mask to form a wordline and the hard mask is removed without damaging the wordline or the charge-trapping material.

    摘要: A manufacturing method is provided for an integrated circuit memory with closely spaced wordlines formed by using hard mask extensions. A charge-trapping dielectric material is deposited over a semiconductor substrate and first and second bitlines are formed therein. A wordline material and a hard mask material are deposited over the wordline material. A photoresist material is deposited over the hard mask material and is processed to form a patterned photoresist material. The hard mask material is processed using the patterned photoresist material to form a patterned hard mask material. The patterned photoresist is then removed. A hard mask extension material is deposited over the wordline material and is processed to form a hard mask extension. The wordline material is processed using the patterned hard mask material and the hard mask extension to form a wordline, and the patterned hard mask material and the hard mask extension are then removed.

    摘要: A method for shrinking a semiconductor device and minimizing auto-doping problem is disclosed. An etch stop layer is eliminated and is replaced with a consumable liner oxide layer so that stacked gate structures of the device can be positioned closer together, thus permitting shrinking of the device. The liner oxide layer is formed directly over a substrate and in contact with stacked gate structures, sidewall spacers, and sources and drains formed on the substrate, and serves as an auto-doping barrier for the dielectric layer to prevent boron and phosphorous formed in the dielectric layer from auto-doping into the sources and drains.

    摘要: The present invention facilitates dual bit memory devices and operation of dual bit memory device by providing systems and methods that employ a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner during fabrication, instead of a relatively thick TEOS layer that is conventionally used. Employment of the relatively thin liner facilitates dual bit memory device operation by mitigating charge loss and contact resistance while providing protection against unwanted dopant diffusion. The present invention includes utilizing a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner that is formed on wordlines and portions of a charge trapping dielectric layer. The relatively thin undoped TEOS liner is formed with a thickness of less than about 400 Angstroms so that contact resistance and charge loss are improved and yet providing suitable protection for operation of the device. Additionally, the present invention includes foregoing with an undoped TEOS liner altogether.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for selectively removing anti-reflective coating (ARC) from the surface of an dielectric layer over the surface of a substrate without scratching the dielectric layer and/or tungsten contacts formed therein. In one embodiment, a fluoromethane (CH3F)/oxygen (O2) etch chemistry is used to selectively remove the ARC layer without scratching and/or degradation of the dielectric layer, source/drain regions formed over the substrate, and a silicide layer formed atop stacked gate structures. The CH3F/O2 etch chemistry etches the ARC layer at a rate which is significantly faster than the etch rates of the dielectric layer, the source/drain regions and the silicide layer. In addition, by removing the ARC layer prior to the formation of tungsten contacts by filling of contact openings formed in the dielectric layer with tungsten, potential scratching of tungsten contacts due to ARC layer removal is eliminated.
