Methods of replacing/reforming a top oxide around a charge storage element of a memory cell and methods of improving quality of a top oxide around a charge storage element of a memory cell are provided. The method can involve removing a first poly over a first top oxide from the memory cell; removing the first top oxide from the memory cell; and forming a second top oxide around the charge storage element. The second top oxide can be formed by oxidizing a portion of the charge storage element or by forming a sacrificial layer over the charge storage element and oxidizing the sacrificial layer to a second top oxide.

A dual node memory device and methods for fabricating the device are provided. In one embodiment the method comprises forming a layered structure with an insulator layer, a charge storage layer, a buffer layer, and a sacrificial layer on a semiconductor substrate. The layers are patterned to form two spaced apart stacks and an exposed substrate portion between the stacks. A gate insulator and a gate electrode are formed on the exposed substrate, and the sacrificial layer and buffer layer are removed. An additional insulator layer is deposited overlying the charge storage layer to form insulator-storage layer-insulator memory storage areas on each side of the gate electrode. Sidewall spacers are formed at the sidewalls of the gate electrode overlying the storage areas. Bit lines are formed in the substrate spaced apart from the gate electrode, and a word line is formed that contacts the gate electrode and the sidewall spacers.

A method for extracting a clock in a clock data recovery system is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a serial link transmission data is sampled for a plurality of times, and a plurality of pulse signals are generated and sequentially arranged. Then, a mark is inserted after all pulse signals are generated and had been delayed for a predetermined delay time. The predetermined delay time is less than a period between two adjacent pulse signals, and a period between two adjacent pulse signals is divided into two sub-periods by the predetermined delay time. Then, it is checked whether the data status in each sub-period is changed or not, and this operation is repeated for a predetermined number of times. Finally, the clock is extracted when a pulse signal of no data status change within the predetermined number of times is being generated.

Memory cells having split charge storage nodes and methods for fabricating memory cells having split charge storage nodes are disclosed. A disclosed method includes forming a first trench and an adjacent second trench in a semiconductor substrate, the first trench and the second trench each defining a first sidewall and a second sidewall respectively and forming a first source/drain region in the substrate and a second source/drain region in the substrate, where the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region are formed substantially under the first trench and the second trench in the semiconductor substrate respectively. Moreover, a method includes forming a bit line punch through barrier in the substrate between the first source/drain region and the second source drain region and forming a first storage element on the first sidewall of the first trench and a second storage element on the second sidewall of the second element. A word line is formed in contact with the first storage element and the second storage element.
