    摘要: A method is provided for accurately determining the junction depth of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices. Embodiments include determining the junction depth in an SOI device under inspection by measuring the threshold voltage of its “bottom transistor” formed by its source and drain regions together with its substrate acting as a gate. The threshold voltage of the bottom transistor of an SOI device varies with its junction depth in a predictable way. Thus, the junction depth of the inspected device is determined by comparing its bottom transistor threshold voltage with the bottom transistor threshold voltage of corresponding reference SOI devices of known junction depth to find a match. For example, simulated SOI devices with the same characteristics as the inspected device, whose junction depth and bottom transistor threshold voltages have been previously calculated, are used as a “reference library”. If the bottom transistor threshold voltage of the inspected device has about the same value as that of a particular one of the reference devices, then the inspected device has the junction depth of that particular reference device. Thus, junction depth of the inspected SOI device is accurately determined by a simple electrical measurement of threshold voltage.

    摘要: A charge trapping dielectric memory cell array comprises a plurality of parallel bit lines implanted within the lightly doped substrate. The parallel bit lines define a plurality of channel regions spaced there between and form a semiconductor junction there with. A plurality of parallel and spaced apart word lines are positioned above the surface of the substrate and separated from the substrate by a charge trapping dielectric. The plurality of parallel word lines are perpendicularly positioned with respect to the bit lines. Each channel region comprises a central counter doped channel region adjacent to a top surface of the substrate and vertically extending into the channel region to a depth less than the bit line depth and being spaced from each semiconductor junction by a pocket region.

    摘要: A method and system for substrate bias for programming non-volatile memory. A bias voltage is applied to a deep well structure under a well comprising a channel region for a non-volatile memory cell. During programming, a negative bias applied to the deep well beneficially creates a non-uniform distribution of electrons within the channel region, with an abundance of electrons at the surface of the channel region. The application of additional bias voltages to a control gate and a drain may cause electrons to migrate from the channel region to a storage layer of the non-volatile memory cell. Advantageously, due to the increased supply of electrons at the surface of the channel region, programming of the non-volatile cell takes place faster than under the conventional art.

    摘要: A lateral doped channel. A first doping material is implanted substantially vertically into a region adjacent to a gate structure. A diffusion process diffuses the first doping material into a channel region beneath the gate structure. A second doping material is implanted substantially vertically into the region adjacent to a gate structure. The second implantation forms source/drain regions and may terminate the channel region. The channel region thus comprises a laterally non-uniform doping profile which beneficially mitigates the short channel effect and is highly advantageous as compensation for manufacturing process variations in channel length.
