    Abstract: A MONOS device and method for making the device has a charge trapping dielectric layer (32), such as an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer (34, 36, 38), formed on a substrate (30). A recess (44) is created through the ONO layer (32) and in the substrate (30). A metal silicide bit line (48) is formed in the recess (44) and bit line oxide (54) is formed on top of the metal silicide. A word line (56) is formed over the ONO layer (32) and the bit line oxide (54), and a low resistance silicide (58) is provided on top of the word line (56). The silicide (58) is formed by laser thermal annealing, for example.

    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a process for forming IC devices (100) with ESD protection transistors (112). According to one aspect of the invention, an ESD protection transistor (112) is provided with a light doping and then, after forming spacers, a heavy doping. The heavy doping with spacers in place can lower the sheet resistance, enhance the bipolar effect for the transistor, reduce the transistor's capacitance, and reduce the junction breakdown voltage, all without causing short channel effects. The invention thereby provides ESD protection transistors (112) that are compact, highly sensitive, and fast-switching. The spacers can be formed at the same time as spacers for other transistors, such as other transistors in a peripheral region of the device (100).

    Abstract: A technique for forming at least part of an array of a dual bit memory core is disclosed. Initially, a portion of a charge trapping dielectric layer (608) is formed over a substrate (602) and a resist (614) is formed over the portion of the charge trapping dielectric layer (608). The resist (614) is patterned and a pocket implant (630) is performed at an angle to establish pocket implants (620) within the substrate (602). A bitline implant (634) is then performed to establish buried bitlines (640) within the substrate (602). The patterned resist is then removed and the remainder of the charge trapping dielectric layer (608) is formed. A wordline material (660) is formed over the remainder of the charge trapping dielectric layer and patterned to form wordlines (662) that overlie the bitlines (640). The pocket implants (620) serve to mitigate, among other things, complementary bit disturb (CBD) that can result from semiconductor scaling. As such, semiconductor devices can be made smaller and increased packing densities can be achieved by virtue of the inventive concepts set forth herein.
