    摘要: A process for producing a semiconductor configuration includes the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, providing a buffer oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate and providing a hard mask on the buffer oxide layer. An STI trench is etched by using the hard mask and a liner oxide layer is provided in the STI trench. The hard mask is removed to expose the buffer oxide layer and the buffer oxide layer is removed by an etching process. The buffer oxide layer is etched more rapidly than the liner oxide layer in the etching process. A gate oxide layer is provided on the semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor configuration is also provided.

    摘要: A method for providing bitline contacts in a memory cell array includes a plurality of bitlines disposed in a first direction, the bitlines being covered by an isolating layer, a plurality of wordlines disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction above the bitlines, and memory cells disposed at the points at which the bitlines and wordlines cross each other. According to a first aspect of the present invention, the isolating layer is removed from the bitlines at the portions that are not covered by the wordlines, whereas the areas between the bitlines remain unaffected. Alternatively, the isolating layer is removed from the whole cell array. Then, an electrical conductive material is provided on the exposed portions of the bitlines. The method is used to provide bitline contacts in a nitride read only memory (NROM™) chip.
