    摘要: A process for fabricating vertical CMOS devices, featuring variable channel lengths, has been developed. Channel region openings are defined in composite insulator stacks, with the channel length of specific devices determined by the thickness of the composite insulator stack. Selective removal of specific components of the composite insulator stack, in a specific region, allows the depth of the channel openings to be varied. A subsequent epitaxial silicon growth procedure fills the variable depth channel openings, providing the variable length, channel regions for the vertical CMOS devices.

    摘要: A new method of forming a sharp tip on a floating gate in the fabrication of a EEPROM memory cell is described. A first gate dielectric layer is provided on a substrate. A second gate dielectric layer is deposited overlying the first gate dielectric layer. A floating gate/control gate stack is formed overlying the second gate dielectric layer. One sidewall portion of the floating gate is covered with a mask. The second gate dielectric layer not covered by the mask is etched away whereby an undercut of the floating gate is formed in the second gate dielectric layer. The mask is removed. Polysilicon spacers are formed on sidewalls of the floating gate wherein one of the polysilicon spacers fills the undercut thereby forming a sharp polysilicon tip to improve the erase efficiency of the memory cell.

    摘要: A method of forming small features, comprising the following steps. A substrate having a dielectric layer formed thereover is provided. A spacing layer is formed over the dielectric layer. The spacing layer has a thickness equal to the thickness of the small feature to be formed. A patterned, re-flowable masking layer is formed over the spacing layer. The masking layer having a first opening with a width “L”. The patterned, re-flowable masking layer is re-flowed to form a patterned, re-flowed masking layer having a re-flowed first opening with a lower width “1”. The re-flowed first opening lower width “1” being less than the pre-reflowed first opening width “L”. The spacing layer is etched down to the dielectric layer using the patterned, re-flowed masking layer as a mask to form a second opening within the etched spacing layer having a width equal to the re-flowed first opening lower width “1”. Removing the patterned, re-flowed masking layer. A small feature material is then formed within the second opening and any excess small feature material above the etched spacing layer is removed. The etched spacing layer is removed to form the small feature comprised of the small feature material.

    摘要: A method of forming narrow gates comprising the following steps. A substrate is provided having an overlying Si3N4 or an SiO2/Si3N4 stack gate dielectric layer. A gate material layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer. A hard mask layer is formed over the gate material layer. The hard mask layer and the gate material layer are patterned to form a hard mask/gate material layer stack. A planarized dielectric layer is formed surrounding the hard mask/gate material layer stack. The patterned hard mask layer is removed from over the patterned gate material layer to form a cavity having exposed dielectric layer side walls. Masking spacers are formed on the exposed dielectric layer side walls over a portion of the patterned gate material layer. The patterned gate material layer is etched using the masking spacers as masks to expose a portion of the gate dielectric layer. The planarized dielectric layer is removed. The masking spacers are removed to form narrow gates comprising gate material.
