Abstract:
Method for manufacturing an integrated circuit (101; 102; 1) formed on a semiconductor substrate (201; 2) comprising the steps of: - forming at least one shielding structure (60; 61; 6A, 6B) on said semiconductor substrate (201; 2), - forming a protective layer (100, 190; 19, 11') at least on portions of the semiconductor substrate (201; 2) that surround said shielding structure (60; 6A, 6B), - carrying out a ionic implantation step with a tilt angle with respect to a normal to a plane defined by said semiconductor substrate (201; 2) so that said at least one shielding structure (60; 61; 6A, 6B) shields first portions (200; 202; 20, 11A) of the protective layer (100, 190; 19, 11'), - removing second portions (210; 211; 21, 11B) of the protective layer (100, 190; 19, 11') that have been subjected to the ionic implant.
Abstract:
In a process for manufacturing a memory (2) having a plurality of memory cells (3) the steps of: forming a well (11), having a first type of conductivity, within a wafer (10) of semiconductor material; defining active regions (12) within the well (11) extending in a first direction (y); forming memory cells (3) within the active regions (12), each memory cell (3) having a source region (15) with a second type of conductivity, opposite to the first type of conductivity; and forming lines of electrical contact (20), which electrically contact source regions (15) aligned in a second direction (x). In the step of forming lines of electrical contact (20), the step of forming an electrical contact between the source regions (15) and portions (37) of the well (11) adjacent thereto in the second direction (x).
