A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a first dielectric layer over a first portion of a substrate, forming a charge storage layer over the first dielectric layer and etching a trench in the charge storage layer and the first dielectric layer, where the trench extends to the substrate. The method also includes implanting n-type impurities into the substrate to form an n-type region having a first depth and a first width and implanting p-type impurities into the substrate after implanting the n-type impurities, the p-type impurities forming a p-type region having a second depth and a second width. The method further includes forming a second dielectric layer over the charge storage layer and forming a control gate over the second dielectric layer.

A technique for forming at least part of an array of a dual bit memory core is disclosed. Spacers are utilized in the formation process to reduce the size of buried bitlines in the memory, which is suitable for use in storing data for computers and the like. The smaller (e.g., narrower) bitlines facilitate increased packing densities while maintaining an effective channel length between the bitlines. The separation between the bitlines allows dual bits that are stored above the channel within a charge trapping layer to remain sufficiently separated so as to not interfere with one another. In this manner, one bit can be operated on (e.g., for read, write or erase operations) without substantially or adversely affecting the other bit. Additionally, bit separation is preserved and leakage currents, cross talk, as well as other adverse effects that can result from narrow channels are mitigated, and the memory device is allowed to operate as desired.

The present invention pertains to implementing a lightly doped channel (LDC) implant in fashioning a memory device to improve Vt roll-off, among other things. The lightly doped channel helps to preserve channel integrity such that a threshold voltage (Vt) can be maintained at a relatively stable level and thereby mitigate Vt roll-off. The LDC also facilitates a reduction in buried bitline width and thus allows the bitlines to be brought closer together. As a result more devices can be formed or “packed” within the same or a smaller area.

A method for performing a bit line implant is disclosed. The method includes forming a group of structures on an oxide-nitride-oxide stack of a semiconductor device. Each structure of the group of structures includes a polysilicon portion and a hard mask portion. A first structure of the group of structures is separated from a second structure of the group of structures by less than 100 nanometers. The method further includes using the first structure and the second structure to isolate a portion of the semiconductor device for the bit line implant.

A method of forming a dielectric between memory cells in a device includes forming multiple memory cells, where a gap is formed between each of the multiple memory cells. The method further includes performing a high density plasma deposition (HDP) process to fill at least a portion of the gap between each of the multiple memory cells with a dielectric material.
