Abstract:
A process for manufacturing integrated capacitors in CMOS technology, comprising the steps of: producing, in a substrate (1) of semiconductor material having a first type of conductivity, at least one well (4) with the opposite type of conductivity, defining the active areas, producing insulation regions (3, 3′), depositing a first conducting layer (6) of polycrystalline silicon adapted to form the gate regions and the lower plates of the capacitors, depositing a layer (7) of silicon oxide at low temperature, to form the dielectric of the capacitors, depositing a second layer (8) of polycrystalline silicon to form the second plate of the capacitors, shaping the polycrystalline silicon and silicon oxide layers, implanting and diffusing the source (9) and drain (10) regions of the CMOS transistors, providing the insulation layer (11), the metallic connecting layer (12), and final covering with a layer of protective insulation.
Abstract:
ROM memories made in MOS or CMOS technology with LDD cells may be programmed advantageously in a relatively advanced stage of fabrication by decoupling an already formed drain region from the channel region of cells to be permanently made nonconductive (programmed) by implanting a dopant in an amount sufficient to invert the type of conductivity in a portion of the drain region adjacent to the channel region. In CMOS processes, the programming mask may be a purposely modified mask commonly used for implanting source/drain regions of transistors of a certain type of conductivity. By using high-energy implantation and a dedicated mask, the programming may be effected at even later stages of the fabrication process.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit is manufactured by forming first and second regions on silicon dioxide (4, 6) on a semiconductor substrate (1). The first and second regions comprise a polycrystalline silicon layer (7), an insulating layer (8), and a polycrystalline silicon layer (9). The layers (8) and (9) are removed from the second regions and a second insulating layer (10) formed on the second regions. A third polycrystalline layer (11) is formed on the first and second regions. The first regions may be formed as EPROM memory cells and the second regions as capacitors.
