    摘要: A method of forming a double gated SOI channel transistor comprising the following steps. A substrate having an SOI structure formed thereover is provided. The SOI structure including a lower SOI silicon oxide layer and an upper SOI silicon layer. The SOI silicon layer is patterned to form a patterned silicon layer. A dummy layer is formed over the SOI silicon oxide layer and the patterned SOI silicon layer. The dummy layer is patterned to form a damascene opening therein exposing: a portion of the lower SOI silicon oxide layer; and a central portion of the patterned SOI silicon layer to define a source structure and a drain structure. Patterning the exposed lower SOI silicon oxide layer to form a recess. Gate oxide layer portions are formed around the exposed portion of the patterned SOI silicon layer. A planarized layer portion is formed within the final damascene opening. The planarized layer portion including a bottom gate and a top gate. The patterned dummy layer is removed to form the double gated SOI channel transistor.

    摘要: A memory system includes a memory block having at least one memory cell. The current is sensed after the erase operations of the memory cell. A signal is generated in response to the current dropping below a predetermined level after the erase operations of the memory cell. The stress on the memory cell is reduced to a first reduced level for erase operations occurring subsequent to the current dropping below the predetermined level.

    摘要: A new method is provided for the creation of an oxide layer that contains three different thicknesses. A first layer of oxide is grown on the surface of a substrate; a first layer of photoresist is deposited and patterned thereby partially exposing the surface of the underlying first layer of oxide. A nitrogen implant is performed into the surface of the underlying substrate; the photoresist mask of the first layer of photoresist is removed. A second layer of photoresist is deposited and patterned, the first layer of oxide is removed from above and surrounding the implanted regions of the substrate. The second mask of resist is removed. The first layer of oxide is reduced in thickness, its thickness is restored to a first thickness by a blanket growth of a second layer of oxide over the exposed surface of the substrate (where no ion implant has been performed) to a third thickness, over the surface of the substrate where the ion implant has been performed to a second thickness and over the surface of the first layer of oxide thereby restoring this layer of oxide to its original first thickness.
