A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate; and a first Fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) and a second FinFET at a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first FinFET includes a first fin; and a first gate electrode over a top surface and sidewalls of the first fin. The second FinFET includes a second fin spaced apart from the first fin by a fin space; and a second gate electrode over a top surface and sidewalls of the second fin. The second gate electrode is electrically disconnected from the first gate electrode. The first and the second gate electrodes have a gate height greater than about one half of the fin space.

摘要:
Method of manufacturing a semiconductor chip. An array region gate stack is formed on an array region of a substrate and a periphery region gate stack is formed on a periphery region of a substrate. A first dielectric material, a charge-storing material, and a second dielectric material are deposited over the substrate. Portions of the first dielectric material, the charge-storing material, and the second dielectric material are removed to form storage structures on the array region gate stack and on the periphery region gate stack. The storage structures have a generally L-shaped cross-section. A first source/drain region is formed in the array region well. A third dielectric material and a spacer material are deposited over the substrate. Portions of the third dielectric material and the spacer material are removed to form spacers. A second source/drain region is formed in the periphery region well.

A gate stack is formed on a substrate. The gate stack has a sidewall. An oxide-nitride-oxide material is deposited on the gate stack. Portions of the oxide-nitride-oxide material are removed to form an oxide-nitride-oxide structure. The oxide-nitride-oxide structure has a generally L-shaped cross-section with a vertical portion along at least part of the gate stack sidewall and a horizontal portion along the substrate. A top oxide material is deposited over the substrate. A silicon nitride spacer material is deposited over the top oxide material. Portions of the top oxide material and the silicon nitride spacer material are removed to form a silicon nitride spacer separated from the oxide-nitride-oxide stack by the top oxide material. Source/drain regions are formed in the substrate.

Non-volatile floating gate memory cells with polysilicon storage dots and fabrication methods thereof. The non-volatile floating gate memory cell comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. A first region of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor substrate. A second region of the second conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor substrate spaced apart from the first region. A channel region connects the first and second regions for the conduction of charges. A dielectric layer is disposed on the channel region. A control gate is disposed on the dielectric layer. A tunnel dielectric layer is conformably formed on the semiconductor substrate and the control gate. Two charge storage dots are spaced apart from each other at opposing lateral edges of the sidewalls of the control gate and surface of the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
A self-aligned conductive spacer process for fabricating sidewall control gates on both sides of a floating gate for high-speed RAM applications, which can well define dimensions and profiles of the sidewall control gates. A conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer to cover a floating gate patterned on a semiconductor substrate. Oxide spacer are formed on the conductive layer adjacent to the sidewalls of the floating gate. Performing an anisotropic etch process on the conductive layer and using the oxide spacers as a hard mask, a conductive spacers are self-aligned fabricated at both sides of the floating gate, serving as sidewall control gates.

A system and method for a sidewall SONOS memory device is provided. An electronic device includes a non-volatile memory. A substrate includes source/drain regions. A gate stack is directly over the substrate and between the source/drain regions. The gate stack has a sidewall. A nitride spacer is formed adjacent to the gate stack. A first oxide material is formed directly adjacent the spacer. An oxide-nitride-oxide structure is formed between the spacer and the gate stack. The oxide-nitride-oxide structure has a generally L-shaped cross-section on at least one side of the gate stack. The oxide-nitride-oxide structure includes a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The vertical portion is substantially aligned with the sidewall and located between the first oxide material and the gate sidewall. The horizontal portion is substantially aligned with the substrate and located between the first oxide and the substrate.
