    摘要: A 2-bit FinFET flash memory cell capable of storing 2 bits and a method of forming the same are provided. The memory cell includes a semiconductor fin on a top surface of a substrate, a gate insulation film on the top surface and sidewalls of a channel section of the semiconductor fin, a gate electrode on the gate insulation film, and two charge-trapping regions along opposite sides of the gate electrode, wherein each charge-trapping region is separated from the gate electrode and the semiconductor fin by a tunneling layer. The memory cell further includes a protective layer on the charge-trapping regions. Each of the two charge-trapping regions is capable of storing one bit. The memory cell can be operated by applying different bias voltages to the source, the drain, and the gate of the memory cell.

    摘要: A self-aligned conductive spacer process for fabricating sidewall control gates on both sides of a floating gate for high-speed RAM applications, which can well define dimensions and profiles of the sidewall control gates. A conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer to cover a floating gate patterned on a semiconductor substrate. Oxide spacer are formed on the conductive layer adjacent to the sidewalls of the floating gate. Performing an anisotropic etch process on the conductive layer and using the oxide spacers as a hard mask, a conductive spacers are self-aligned fabricated at both sides of the floating gate, serving as sidewall control gates.
