Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a structure and method for embedding a non-volatile memory (NVM) in a high-K metal gate (HKMG) integrated circuit that utilizes a replacement gate technology with low poly resistance and high program/erase speed. A silicide layer formed over top surfaces of the NVM device, after replacement gate process of the HKMG circuit prevents poly damage during contact formation and provides low gate resistance, thereby improving program/erase speed of the NVM device.
