    Abstract: A NAND memory array has a substrate, a source select gate formed on the substrate, and a drain select gate formed on the substrate. A string of floating-gate memory cells is formed on the substrate and is connected in series between the source select gate and the drain select gate. A drain contact has a head connected substantially perpendicularly to a stem. The head is aligned with the drain select gate and overlies a dielectric layer formed on the drain select gate. The stem overlies a polysilicon plug formed on the substrate. A bit line contact is in direct electrical contact with the head.

    Abstract: A source line is formed by forming a source slot in a bulk insulation layer overlying a substrate to expose a portion of a substrate within the source slot, where the exposed portion of the substrate includes source regions of select gates associated with two or more columns of serially-connected floating-gate transistors formed on the substrate. A layer of epitaxial silicon is grown on the exposed portion so as to partially fill the source slot. A conductive layer is formed on the bulk insulation layer and on the layer of epitaxial silicon so as to substantially fill an unfilled portion of the source slot. The conductive layer is removed from a surface of the bulk insulation layer.

    Abstract: A method of forming an array of FLASH field effect transistors and circuitry peripheral to such array includes forming a sacrificial oxide over an array area and a periphery area of a semiconductor substrate. After forming the sacrificial oxide, at least one conductivity modifying implant is conducted into semiconductive material of the substrate within the array without conducting the one conductivity modifying implant into semiconductive material of the substrate within the periphery. The sacrificial oxide is removed from the array while the sacrificial oxide is left over the periphery. After removing the sacrificial oxide from the array, at least some FLASH transistor gates are formed within the array and at least some non-FLASH transistor gates are formed within the periphery.

    Abstract: A method of forming an array of FLASH field effect transistors and circuitry peripheral to the array includes etching periphery active area semiconductive material of a substrate substantially selectively relative to periphery field isolation while not etching array active area semiconductive material. After the periphery active area etching, at least some FLASH transistor control gate material is formed within the array and at least some non-FLASH transistor gate material is formed within the periphery. A method masking array active area semiconductive material while periphery active area semiconductive material is etched substantially selectively relative to the periphery field isolation. After the etching, the masking is removed. Thereafter, at least some FLASH transistor control gate material is formed within the array and at least some non-FLASH transistor gate material is formed within the periphery.
