  • Patent number: 11342006
    Abstract: Methods for reducing manufacturing cost and improving the reliability of non-volatile memories using NAND strings with polysilicon channels and p-type doped source lines are described. A NAND string may include a polysilicon channel that is orthogonal to a substrate and connects to a boron doped source line at a source-side end of the NAND string. To reduce the likelihood of the polysilicon channel being cut-off or pinched near the source-side end of the NAND string, a thicker polysilicon channel may be formed near the source-side end of the NAND string while a thinner polysilicon channel may be formed for the remainder of the NAND string by diffusing boron into a first portion of the polysilicon channel corresponding with the thicker polysilicon channel and then etching the polysilicon channel with etchants that exhibit a reduction in their etch rate at a boron concentration above a threshold concentration.

  • Patent number: 11342453
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (LDMOSFET) with a replacement metal gate (RMG) structure that includes a first section, which traverses a semiconductor body at a channel region in a first-type well, and a second section, which is adjacent to the first section and which traverses the semiconductor body at a drain drift region in a second-type well. The RMG structure includes, in both sections, a first-type work function layer and a second-type work function layer on the first-type work function layer. However, the thickness of the first-type work function layer in the first section is greater than the thickness in the second section such that the RMG structure is asymmetric. Thus, threshold voltage (Vt) at the first section is greater than Vt at the second section and the LDMOSFET has a relatively high breakdown voltage (BV). Also disclosed are methods for forming the LDMOSFET.
