    摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate having bitlines under a charge-trapping material over a core region and a gate insulator material over a periphery region. A wordline-gate material, a hard mask, and a first photoresist are deposited and patterned over the core region while covering the periphery region. After removing the first photoresist, wordlines are formed from the wordline-gate material in the core region. An anti-reflective coating and a second photoresist are deposited and patterned over the periphery region and covering the core region. The anti-reflective coating is removable without damaging the charge-trapping material. After removing the second photoresist and the anti-reflective coating, gates are formed from the wordline-gate material in the periphery region and the integrated circuit completed.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a MirrorBit® Flash memory includes providing a semiconductor substrate and successively depositing a first insulating layer, a charge-trapping layer, and a second insulating layer. First and second bitlines are implanted and wordlines are formed before completing the memory. Spacers are formed between the wordlines and an inter-layer dielectric layer is formed over the wordlines. One or more of the second insulating layer, wordlines, spacers, and inter-layer dielectric layers are deuterated, replacing hydrogen bonds with deuterium, thus improving data retention and substantially reducing charge loss.
