Patents by Inventor Hsin-Huang Shen

Hsin-Huang Shen 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).

  • Patent number: 11785769
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of semiconductor device is provided. In the manufacturing method, a tunneling dielectric layer, floating gates on the tunneling dielectric layer, an ONO layer on the floating gates, and control gates on the ONO layer are formed. During the formation of the floating gates and the control gates, reactive-ion etching (R.I.E.) is not used at all, and thus damage to the floating and control gates from high-density plasma is prevented, such as charge trap in the floating gates may be significantly reduced to improve the reliability of data storage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: Winbond Electronics Corp.

  • Patent number: 11398383
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a gate electrode layer over a semiconductor substrate, forming a first spacer layer to cover a sidewall of the gate electrode layer, recessing the first spacer layer to expose an upper portion of the sidewall of the gate electrode layer, forming a metal material to cover an upper surface and the upper portion of the sidewall of the gate electrode layer; reacting a semiconductor material of the gate electrode layer with the metal material using an anneal process to form a silicide layer, and removing the metal material after the anneal process.
