摘要:
A method and arrangement for forming a recessed spacer to prevent the gouging of device junctions during a contact etch or local interconnect etch process deliberately overetches the spacer material layer during the formation of sidewall spacers on the sidewalls of a gate. The exposed portions of the gate sidewalls are then covered by silicide formed during a silicidation process. The formation of the suicide on the gate sidewalls prevents the sidewall spacers from being preferentially attacked during a local interconnect etch or contact etch.

A method to improve LDD corner control during a local interconnect trench oxide etch on a semiconductor device by providing a first etch stop layer over the gate and active regions in the substrate and further providing thereon a second etch stop layer made of polysilicon and having of a different composition than that of the first etch stop layer. By forming a second etch stop layer of polysilicon the present invention improves the selectivity of the local interconnect trench oxide etch, thereby improving the ability of the first and second etch stop layers to stop the etch process at the critical interfaces.

Memory devices having improved TPD characteristics and methods of making the memory devices are provided. The memory devices contain two or more memory cells on a semiconductor substrate and bit line openings containing a bit line dielectric between the memory cells. The memory cell contains a charge storage layer and a first poly gate. The bit line opening extends into the semiconductor substrate. By containing the bit line dielectric in the bit line openings that extend into the semiconductor substrate, the memory device can improve the electrical isolation between memory cells, thereby preventing and/or mitigating TPD.

Memory devices having improved BVdss characteristics and methods of making the memory devices are provided. The memory devices contain bitline dielectrics on bitlines of a semiconductor substrate; first spacers adjacent the side surfaces of the bitline dielectrics and on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate; a trench in the semiconductor substrate between the first spacers; and second spacers adjacent the side surfaces of the trench. By containing the trench and the first and second spacers between the bitlines, the memory device can improve the electrical isolation between the bitlines, thereby preventing and/or mitigating bitline-to-bitline current leakage and increasing BVdss.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including selective conductive contacts includes the step of depositing a resist over first and second memory device components, each of the first and second components comprising junctions formed in the substrate and a gate formed on the substrate between the junctions. The resist is then removed from the second components to thereby form a resist opening above each of the second component control gates and junctions. The resist is then etched to thereby expose each of the first component control gates but not the substrate surrounding the first component control gates. Conductive contacts are then formed on the exposed first component control gates, and the second component control gates and junctions.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device. Specifically, a method that includes forming a source and drain region in a periphery transistor, exhibiting a channel width between the source and drain regions suitable for operation at predetermined voltages. After forming the source and drain regions, to eliminate diffusion of lightly doped drain regions resulting from a later formation of the source and drain regions, forming the lightly doped drain regions adjacent to the source and drain regions of the periphery transistor. After forming the lightly doped drain regions in the periphery transistor, the method includes forming a source region and a drain region in a core memory cell, independent of forming the source and drain regions in the periphery transistor.
