The nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises a channel region formed in a semiconductor substrate, a gate electrode formed over the channel region with a charge retaining insulating film interposed therebetween, a first pair of source/drain regions arranged in a first direction with the channel region formed therebetween, and a second pair of source/drain regions arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction with the channel region formed therebetween. The channel region and the gate electrode are common between a first memory cell transistor including the first pair of source/drain regions and a second memory cell transistor including the second pair of source/drain regions.

摘要:
A method for forming high quality multiple thickness oxide layers having different thicknesses by eliminating descum induced defects. The method includes forming an oxide layer, masking the oxide layer with a photoresist layer, and developing the photoresist layer to expose at least one region of the oxide layer. The substrate is then heated and descummed to remove any residue resulting from developing the photoresist. Alternatively, the photoresist layer may be cured prior to heating and descumming the substrate. The oxide layer is then etched, and the remaining photoresist is stripped before another layer of oxide is grown on the substrate.

A method for forming high quality oxide layers having different thicknesses by eliminating descum induced defects is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate is subjected to reactive ion etching. The semiconductor substrate includes a wafer, an oxide layer on the wafer, a developed photoresist mask on the oxide layer. The oxide layer is then etched, and the remaining photoresist is stripped before another layer of oxide is grown on the substrate.

A semiconductor device fabrication method including: forming a gate conductor including a gate for a transistor in the first region, and a gate for a transistor in the second region, and a first film over a first stress film for covering the transistors; etching the first film from the second region by using a mask layer and etching the first film under the mask layer in the direction parallel to the surface of the semiconductor substrate by a first width from an edge of the first mask layer, and the first stress film from the second region; forming a second stress film covering the first stress film and the first film; etching the second stress film so that a portion of the second stress film overlaps a portion of the first stress film and a portion of the first film; and forming a contact hole connected with the gate conductor.
摘要:
A method and device for avoiding oxide gouging in shallow trench isolation (STI) regions of a semiconductor device. A trench may be etched in an STI region and filled with insulating material. An anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer may be deposited over the STI region and extend beyond the boundaries of the STI region. A portion of the ARC layer may be etched leaving a remaining portion of the ARC layer over the STI region and extending beyond the boundaries of the STI region. A protective cap may be deposited to cover the remaining portion of the ARC layer as well as the insulating material. The protective cap may be etched back to expose the ARC layer. However, the protective cap still covers and protects the insulating material. By providing a protective cap that covers the insulating material, gouging of the insulating material in STI regions may be avoided.
