    摘要: A method of fabricating a planar architecture charge trapping dielectric memory cell array with rectangular gates comprises fabricating a multi-layer charge trapping dielectric on the surface of a substrate. The layer adjacent to the substrate may be an oxide. A polysilicon layer is deposited over the charge trapping dielectric. A word line mask is applied over the polysilicon layer to mask linear word lines in a first direction and to expose trench regions there between and the trenches are etched to expose the charge trapping dielectric in the trench regions. A bit line mask is applied over the polysilicon layer to mask gates in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and to expose bit line regions there between and the bit lines are etched to expose the oxide in the bit line regions. The bit lines are implanted and insulating spacers are fabricated on exposed sidewalls. The oxide is removed to expose the substrate between insulating spacers in the bit line regions and a conductor is fabricated thereon to enhance conductivity of each bit line.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to utilizing a salicide in establishing alignment marks in semiconductor fabrication. A metal layer is formed over exposed portions of a silicon substrate as well as oxide areas formed over bitlines buried within the substrate. The metal layer is treated to react with the exposed portions of the silicon substrate to form salicided areas. The metal layer does not, however, react with the oxide areas. As such, salicided areas are formed adjacent to the oxide areas to provide an enhanced optical contrast when light is shined there-upon. In this manner, the alignment marks can be more readily “seen”. The enhanced optical contrast thus allows the marks to continue to be seen as scaling occurs.

    摘要: A memory cell with reduced short channel effects is described. A trench region is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A source region and a drain region are formed on opposing sides of the trench region, wherein a bottom of the source region and a bottom of the drain region are above a floor of the trench region. A gate dielectric layer is formed in the trench region of the semiconductor substrate between the source region and the drain region. A recessed channel region is formed below the trench region, the source region and the drain region. A control gate is formed on the semiconductor substrate above the recessed channel region, wherein the control gate is separated from the recessed channel region by the gate dielectric layer.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to a method of forming a graded junction within a semiconductor substrate. A first masking pattern having a first opening characterized by a first lateral dimension is formed over the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is doped with a first dopant, using the first masking pattern as a doping mask, thereby forming a first dopant region in the semiconductor substrate underlying the first opening. The first masking pattern is swelled to decrease the first lateral dimension of the first opening to a second lateral dimension. The semiconductor substrate is then doped with a second dopant, using the swelled first masking pattern as a doping mask, thereby forming a second dopant region in the semiconductor substrate, and furthermore defining a graded junction within the semiconductor substrate.
