Patents by Inventor Everett B. Lee

Everett B. Lee has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Contactless flash memory array
    Patent number: 7919377
    Abstract: A method for forming a contactless flash memory cell array is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the invention, a plurality of active regions is formed on a substrate. An insulating layer is then deposited over the active regions, and a portion of the insulating layer is removed to form a one-dimensional slot and to provide access to the active regions. A bit line is then formed in the slot in contact with the active regions.
    Type: Grant

  • Simultaneous selective polymer deposition and etch pitch doubling for sub 50nm line/space patterning
    Patent number: 7531102
    Abstract: First radicals and second radicals are simultaneous deposited into a space defined by two adjacent lines of photoresists and an underlying layer. A portion of the first radicals and the second radicals combine to form a polymer layer on the layer in the center of the space, and substantially simultaneously, another portion of thee first radicals remove the underlying layer near the base of the photoresists. The first radicals may be fluorine-rich and the second radicals may be carbon-rich.
