    摘要: A semiconductor product includes, a substrate with a first dielectric layer having contact hole fillings for contacting active areas in the substrate. A second dielectric layer with contact holes is provided therein. The contact holes have a width in a first lateral direction. The product further includes conductive lines, each conductive line passing over contact holes in the second dielectric layer and contacting a plurality of contact hole fillings in the first dielectric layer. The conductive lines have a width, in the first lateral direction, that is smaller than the width of the contact holes of the second dielectric layer. The conductive lines are in direct mechanical contact with the contact hole fillings and thereby remove the need to provide any conventional “contact to interconnect” structures.

    摘要: An array of charge-trapping multi-bit memory cells is arranged in a virtual-ground NAND architecture. The memory cells are erased by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of electrons into the memory layers. The write operation is effected by hot hole injection. A write voltage is applied by a bitline to two NAND chains in series. The subsequent bitline on the side of the memory cell to be programmed is maintained on floating potential, whereas the bitline on the other side is set to an inhibit voltage, which is provided to inhibit a program disturb of an addressed memory cell which is not to be programmed. This virtual-ground NAND architecture of charge-trapping memory cells enables an increased storage density.

    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating stacked non-volatile memory cells. A semiconductor wafer is provided having a plurality of diffusion regions forming buried bit lines. A charge-trapping layer and a conductive layer are deposited on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Using a mask layer on top of the conductive layer, contact holes are formed wherein an insulating layer is formed. An etch stop layer is deposited on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Above the etch stop layer, a dielectric layer is deposited and is patterned so as to form contact holes. Subsequently, the contact holes are enlarged through the etch stop layer and the insulating layer to the buried bit lines.
