摘要:
A method of fabricating an EPROM memory increases a coupling ratio and reduces lateral diffusion by forming a gate oxide layer and a coupling insulator individually. A substrate is provided with a field oxide layer to isolate a predetermined active area. A gate oxide layer is formed on the substrate. On the field oxide layer and the gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer is deposited and defined, whereby a portion of this polysilicon layer and gate oxide layer form a gate electrode. Using the gate electrode as a mask, the substrate is implanted with impurities to provide source and drain electrodes. A dielectric layer is formed on polysilicon layer. A contact window (via) is formed in a predetermined area of dielectric layer. An insulator is deposited and defined by etching, on dielectric layer and the contact window. On the insulator and dielectric layer, a metal contact layer is deposited and defined to cover the insulator.

A flash memory cell is fabricated by forming a lightly-doped region with only an implantation procedure to avoid lateral diffusion resulting from an increased overlap between the source region and gate as well as a short channel effect, while surrounding the source region with the lightly-doped region to thereby increase the breakdown voltage between the source region and the substrate.

A method for forming a shallow trench isolation structure in a substrate includes the steps of forming a doped region around the future top corner regions of a trench. The concentration of dopants inside the doped region increases towards the substrate surface. Thereafter, a trench is formed in the substrate, and then a thermal oxidation operation is carried out. Utilizing the higher oxidizing rate for doped substrate relative to an undoped region, the upper corners of the trench become rounded corners. Subsequently, a liner oxide layer is formed over the substrate surface inside the trench using conventional methods. Finally, insulating material is deposited into the trench to form a trench isolation structure.

A method of forming a self-aligned silicide layer. A planarization process is performed to form a gate with a planar top surface. Due to the planar top surface of the gate, the reactivity and the uniformity of thickness of the subsequently formed silicide layer on the top surface of the gate are improved, such that the resistance of the silicide is reduced, and the performance of the device is improved.

A method of fabricating a high voltage semiconductor device. A semiconductor substrate doped with a first type dopant and comprising a gate is provided. A cap oxide layer is formed on the gate optionally. A first ion implantation with a light second type dopant at a wide angle is performed to form a lightly doped region. A spacer is formed on a side wall of the gate. A second ion implantation with a heavy second type dopant is performed, so that a heavily doped region is formed within the lightly doped region.

A method for fabricating flash memory cells having a DDD structure that prevents leakage current during data erasure, that does not require a high temperature drive-in process, and that easily combines with other logic processes. The method for fabricating the flash memory cells utilizes ion implantation through contact windows to establish heavily doped source and drain regions inside previously formed deeply doped source and drain regions to construct the DDD structure.

A method is provided for fabricating an EEPROM (EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory) device, which can help improve the quality of the tunneling oxide layer in the EEPROM device for reliable operation of the EEPROM device. This method is characterized in that the portion of the tungsten silicide (WSi) layer that is directly laid above the tunneling oxide layer is removed, while still allowing all the other part of the tungsten silicide layer to remain unaltered. As a result, in the subsequent heat-treatment process, the degradation in the quality of the tunneling oxide layer that occurs in the prior art due to the forming of a trapping center therein can be prevented. The tunneling oxide layer is thus more assured in quality, allowing the resultant EEPROM to operate reliably with high performance.

A multi-level conductive interconnection for an integrated circuit with an antifuse device is formed, in and on a silicon substrate, wherein there are large contact pad areas at the periphery of the interconnection. The antifuse device is formed from a thin dielectric between a first and second conductor and is connected to the integrated circuit, and is also connected to a ground reference through a silicon junction in the substrate. The large contact pad area is formed with a layer of metal, and is connected to the integrated circuit through the antifuse device, wherein the antifuse device electrically isolates the contact pad and the integrated circuit to prevent charge build-up during subsequent processing. There is further processing in a plasma environment that would normally produce electrical charge build-up at the gate oxide of the integrated circuit, but wherein the antifuse device prevents charge build-up. A voltage is applied to the antifuse device to create a low impedance element, and formation of the integrated circuit is completed.
