    摘要: A method is provided of manufacturing a P-channel native MOS transistor in a circuit integrated on a semiconductor which also includes a matrix of non-volatile memory cells of the floating gate type with two polysilicon levels having an interpoly dielectric layer sandwiched between the two polysilicon levels. The method has the following steps: (1) masking and defining active areas of the discrete integrated devices; (2) masking and defining the first polysilicon level using a Poly1 mask; and (3) masking and defining an intermediate dielectric layer using a matrix mask. The length of the native threshold channel of the native transistor is defined by means of the matrix mask and by etching away the interpoly dielectric layer. A subsequent step of masking and defining the second polysilicon level provides for the use of a Poly2 mask which extends the active area of the transistor with a greater width than the previous mask in order to enable, by subsequent etching, the two polysilicon levels to overlap in self-alignment over the channel region.

    摘要: A method for autoaligning lines of a conductive material in circuits integrated on a semiconductor substrate is presented. The method includes forming several regions projecting from the substrate surface and aligned to one another, and forming a fill layer in the gaps between the projecting regions. The fill layer is planarized to expose the regions, and a portion of the regions is removed to form holes at the locations of the regions. Next an insulating layer is formed in the holes. The insulating layer is selectively removed to form spacers along the edges of said holes and at least one conductive layer is deposited over the exposed surface. Later, a step of photolithograpy with a mask is performed and the conductive layer is etched to define lines and collimate them to the underlying regions.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing electronic semiconductor integrated memory devices having a virtual ground and comprising at least a matrix of floating gate memory cells is presented. In the memory device, the matrix is formed on a semiconductor substrate with a number of continuous bit lines extending across the substrate as discrete parallel strips. The process begins by growing an oxide layer over the matrix region and depositing over the semiconductor throughout a stack structure which comprises a first conductor layer, a first dielectric layer, and a second conductor layer. Then a second dielectric layer is deposited over the stack structure, and floating gate regions are defined by photolithography using a mask of “POLY1 along a first direction”, to thereby define in the dielectric layer, a plurality of parallel strips which delimit a first dimension of floating gate regions. Next the dielectric layer is etched away to define a plurality of parallel dielectric strips and a number of dielectric islands are defined by photolithography using a mask of “POLY1 along a second direction” in the plurality of parallel strips. The dielectric layer is etched to define the plurality of islands. Finally, the stack structure and the thin gate oxide layer are etched to define gate regions of the matrix cells using said oxide island.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing a MOS transistor and especially a MOS transistor used for non-volatile memory cells is presented. At the start of the manufacturing, a semiconductor substrate having a first type of conductivity is covered by a gate oxide layer. A gate electrode is formed over the gate oxide layer, which is a stacked gate when the MOS transistor is used in a non-volatile memory. Covering the gate electrode is a covering oxide that is formed over the gate oxide layer, the gate electrode, and around the gate electrode. Next, a dopant of a second type of conductivity is implanted to provide implant regions adjacent to the gate electrode. Subjecting the semiconductor to thermal treatments allows the implanted regions to diffuse into the semiconductor substrate under the gate electrode and form a gradual junction drain and source region of the MOS transistor.
