Abstract:
A process for producing a non-volatile memory cell is disclosed. The desired polysilicon structure is masked by an oxidation-inhibiting layer, preferably a nitride layer. The polysilicon above the source/drain regions and field effect regions is then converted into silicon dioxide. The interval between adjacent polysilicon paths is thus filled with silicon dioxide. The conversion of polysilicon also increases the field oxide thickness in the field effect regions. A second polysilicon layer is applied on a field effect region so as to include the oxidation-inhibiting layer located therein, and one capacitor electrode is formed therefrom by masking and etching. The first polysilicon layer below the oxidation-inhibiting layer forms the other capacitor electrode and the oxidation-inhibiting layer forms the dielectric. The advantages of the invention consist in a less complex masking and etching technique and in an improved reliability of the components.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a wiring extending at least partly in the substrate. The invention is characterized in that it provides for at least one conductive connection extending in the semiconductor substrate and at least one conductive connection extending on said semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor component provided for by the invention permits applications requiring good security against external manipulation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a magnetoresistive memory having improved interference immunity while keeping the chip surface small. Interference immunity is improved by arranging word lines vertically between two complementary bit lines. Also, a magnetoresistive memory system of a regular cell is provided between a bit line and a word line, and a pertaining magnetoresistive layer system of a complementary memory cell is provided between the complementary bit line and the word line.
