Abstract: Self-aligned etching process for providing a plurality of mutually parallel word lines in a first conducting layer (11,12) deposited over a planarized architecture (9) obtained starting from a semiconductor substrate (1) on which is provided a plurality of active elements extending along separate parallel lines e.g. memory cell bit lines (13) and comprising gate regions made up of a first conducting layer (4), an intermediate dielectric layer (5) and a second conducting layer (6) with said regions being insulated from each other by insulation regions (7,8) to form said architecture (9) with said word lines being defined photolithographically by protective strips implemented by means of: a vertical profile etching for complete removal from the unprotected areas of the first conducting layer (11,12), of the second conducting layer (6) and of the intermediate dielectric layer (5) respectively, and a following isotropic etching of the first conducting layer (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of manufacturing cross-point matrix memory devices which have floating gate memory cells having the source channel self-aligned to the bit line and the field oxide. The process comprises the steps of: growing a thin layer (3) of tunnel oxide on the matrix region; depositing a stack structure comprising a first conductive layer (4), an intermediate dielectric layer (5), and a second conductive layer (6); photolithographing with a Poly1 mask to define a plurality of parallel floating gate regions (13) in said stack structure; self-aligned etching of said stack structure (4,5,6), above the active areas, to define continuous bit lines; implanting, to confer predetermined conductivity on the active areas (10). Advantageously, the self-aligned cascade etching step for removing parallel strips from multiple layers, down to the active areas of the substrate (1), is discontinued before the field oxide (2) is removed, and the implantation step is carried out in the presence of field oxide (2) over the source active areas (10).
