The single-poly EEPROM includes a first PMOS transistor serially connected to a second PMOS transistor. The first and second PMOS transistors are both formed on an N-well of a P type substrate. The first PMOS transistor includes a floating gate, a first P+ doped drain region and a first P+ doped source region. The second PMOS transistor includes a gate and a second P+ doped source region. The first P+ doped drain region of the first PMOS transistor serves as a drain of the second PMOS transistor. A diode is located in the P type substrate including a P-well and a N+ doped region. The floating gate overlaps with the N-well and extends to the N+ doped region. The overlapped region of the P-well and the N+ doped region junction beneath the floating gate serves as an avalanche injection point in the vicinity of the first PMOS transistor.

A method is provided for use in a semiconductor fabrication process to form buried diffusion junctions in conjunction with shallow-trench isolation (STI) structures in a semiconductor device. This method features beak-like oxide layers formed to serve as a mask prior to the forming of the STI structures, which can prevent the subsequently formed buried diffusion junctions from being broken up during the process for forming the STI structures. Moreover, sidewall-spacer structures are formed on the sidewalls of a silicon nitride layer used as a mask in the ion-implantation process. This can prevent short-circuits between the buried diffusion junctions when the doped areas are annealed to be transformed into the desired buried diffusion junctions.

A fabrication method for an electrically erasable programmable read only memory is described in which the memory cell has a sharp-cornered polysilicon pillar in junction with the source region to enhance the source side Fowler-Nordheim tunneling effect. The fabrication method sequentially forms an oxide layer and a silicon nitride on a silicon substrate, and then patterns the oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer to form a plurality of trenches. A first doped polysilicon layer is then formed on the substrate and fills the trenches. A wet oxidation is then conducted to grow an oxide layer on the first doped polysilicon layer, from which a sharp-cornered doped polysilicon layer results. A first dielectric layer is further formed on the substrate and the doped polysilicon layer, followed by forming a floating gate on the first dielectric layer. After this, a second dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, covering the floating gate, and a control gate is formed on the second dielectric layer.

An electrically programmable non-volatile memory cell is provided. A semiconductor substrate is prepared. A pair of spaced apart source/drain (S/D) regions is defined on the semiconductor substrate. The spaced apart S/D regions define a channel region in between. A first dielectric layer such as silicon dioxide is disposed on the S/D regions. An assistant gate is stacked on the first dielectric layer. The assistant gate has a top surface and sidewalls. A second dielectric layer comprising a charge-trapping layer is uniformly disposed on the top surface and sidewalls of the assistant gate and is also disposed on the channel region. The second dielectric layer provides a recessed trough between the S/D regions. A conductive gate material fills the recessed trough for controlling said channel region.

A method of manufacturing a dual cylinder-shaped capacitor. The method includes the steps of forming a cylindrical oxide layer above a conductive layer, and then forming silicon nitride spacers and first oxide spacers on the sidewalls of the cylindrical oxide layer. Next, using the silicon nitride spacers, the first oxide spacers and the cylindrical oxide layer as a hard mask, the conductive layer is etched to form a separate lower electrode. Thereafter, the oxide layer is removed so that only the silicon nitride spacers remain. Subsequently, second oxide spacers and third oxide spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the silicon nitride spacers. Finally, the silicon nitride spacers are removed, and then the conductive layer is again etched to form the dual cylinder-shaped lower electrode.
