    Abstract: A process for fabricating non-volatile memory cells on a semiconductor substrate comprises the following steps:

    forming a stack structure comprised of a first polysilicon layer (3) isolated from the substrate by an oxide layer (2);
    cascade etching the first polysilicon layer (3), oxide layer (2), and semiconductor substrate (1) to define a first portion of a floating gate region of the cell and at least one trench (6) bordering an active area (AA) of the memory cell;
    filling the at least one trench (6) with an isolation layer (7);
    depositing a second polysilicon layer (8) onto the whole exposed surface of the semiconductor; and
    etching away the second polysilicon layer (8) to expose the floating gate region formed in the first polysilicon layer (3), thereby forming extensions (9) adjacent to the above portion of the first polysilicon layer (3).

    Abstract: Phase-change memory device, wherein memory cells (2) are arranged in rows (7) and columns (6) and form a memory array. The memory cells (2) are formed by a selection device (4) of an MOS type and by a phase-change region (3) connected to the selection device. The selection device (4) is formed by a first conductive region (32) and a second conductive region (33), which extend in a substrate (31) of semiconductor material and are spaced from one another via a channel region (34), and by an isolated control region (36) connected to a respective row (7) and overlying the channel region (34). The first conductive region (32) is connected to a connection line (42) extending parallel to the rows, the second conductive region (33) is connected to the phase-change region (46), and the phase-change region is connected to a respective column (6). The first connection line (42) is a metal interconnection line and is connected to the first conductive region (32) via a source-contact region (40) made as point contact and distinct from the first connection line (42).

    Abstract: A process for the fabrication of integrated resistive elements with protection from silicidation envisages the steps of: delimiting, in a semiconductor wafer (10), at least one active area (15); and forming, in the active area (15) at least one resistive region (21) having a pre-determined resistivity. Prior to forming the resistive region (21), on top of the active area (15) a delimitation structure (20) for delimiting the resistive region (21) is obtained, and, subsequently, protective elements (25), which extend within the delimitation structure (20) and coat the resistive region (21), are obtained.

    Abstract: The memory cell (1) is formed in a body (3) of a P-type semiconductor material forming a channel region (25) and housing N-type drain and source regions (15, 12) at two opposite sides of the channel region (25). A floating gate region (5) extends above the channel region (25). A P-type charge injection region (18) extends in the body (3) contiguously to the drain region (15), at least in part between the channel region (25) and the drain region (15). An N-type base region (21) extends between the drain region (15), the charge injection region (18), and the channel region (25). The charge injection region (18) and the drain region (15) are biased by special contact regions (19, 16) so as to forward bias the PN junction formed by the charge injection region (18) and the base region (21). The holes thus generated in the charge injection region (18) are directly injected through the base region (21) into the body (3), where they generate, by impact, electrons that are injected towards the floating gate region (5).
