Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a non-volatile semiconductor memory cell (SZ) having a separate tunnel window cell (TF). SOLUTION: The method includes the step for forming the window cell (TF) having a tunnel zone (TG), a tunnel layer (4), a tunnel window memory layer (T5), a dielectric tunnel window layer (T6), and a tunnel window control electrode layer (T7), and the step for forming a transistor memory cell (TZ) having a channel zone (KG), a gate layer (3), a memory layer (5), a dielectric layer (6), and a control electrode layer (7). By the manufacturing method, the tunnel zone (TG) is formed in a late implantation step by tunnel implantation (I T ) using the window cell (TF) as a mask. The resulting memory cell has a small area requirement and a high number of program/clear cycles. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Production of a bipolar transistor comprises preparing a semiconductor substrate having a conducting region; applying a first insulating layer, a conducting layer and a second insulating layer to the substrate; applying a mask; anisotropically etching the insulating layers and isotropically etching the conducting layer to form an opening; forming a collector and a base in the opening by selective epitaxy; and producing an emitter. Preferred Features: The first insulating layer is made from silicon oxide. The second insulating layer is made from silicon nitride or silicon oxide. The conducting layer is made from polycrystalline silicon. The emitter is produced by a polycrystalline silicon deposition or by epitaxial deposition. The base has a layer of silicon-germanium.
Abstract:
Method used for producing a source or drain region (17) of a transistor (32) in a semiconductor substrate (1) comprises growing the source or drain region doped in situ with selective epitaxy. Preferred Features: A mask layer (16) is arranged on a surface of the substrate. Part of the mask layer is removed, and a mask window (19) reveals a first region of the substrate surface. The selective epitaxy grows on the first region of the substrate surface and does not grow on a second region of the substrate surface covered by the mask layer. A doped profile having different concentrations of doping medium is produced on formation of the source or drain region.
