Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate doped with a first conductivity type. The substrate has a surface, with a parallel array of word lines ion implanted as regions in the surface of said substrate. The N+ word lines are of the opposite conductivity type from the P- substrate. A dielectric layer, formed on the substrate above the word lines, is covered with a polysilicon layer doped with a P- conductivity type. A second dielectric layer covers the polysilicon layer. A parallel array of N+ conductivity regions form doped N+ bit lines in the polysilicon layer. Above the N+ bit lines are formed alternating strips of planarized silicon nitride separated by silicon dioxide strips which are covered by a BPSG layer. An etched code pattern is formed extending through the polysilicon layer in a predetermined region providing an encoded RON.

Abstract: A split-gate memory cell and its fabrication are described. The semiconductor substrate is of a first conductivity type. The process begins by forming a conductive gate overlying the substrate, but electrically insulated therefrom by a layer of a first dielectric material. The gate comprises a first layer of conductive material, a second layer of dielectric material, and a third layer also composed of a second conductive layer. First and second sidewall dielectric spacers are formed adjacent to the first edge and the second opposing edge, respectively of the gate. Ions are implanted into the substrate. Those ions comprise a species of an opposite conductivity type. The ions are implanted at a substantial acute angle relative to a vertical angle with respect to the substrate. A third conductive material is deposited upon the second conductive layer and the first and second sidewall dielectric spacers. The third conductive material is in electrical contact with the second conductive layer.

A polysilicon oxidation product is formed in place of the second polysilicon layer away from the first polysilicon conducting structure. A mask is formed over the surface of the device, etching through the mask to the substrate and the second polysilicon layer. Metallization is deposited onto the surface of the mask and into the openings therein. The polysilicon layers are conductive.
