  • Patent number: 5081056
    Abstract: A process for fabricating an integrated memory matrix of EPROM cells having a "tablecloth" organization, with source and drain lines parallel among each other and running between parallel strips of isolating field oxide, floating gate structures formed between said source and drain lines and control gate lines running parallel among each other and perpendicularly to said source and drain lines and over said floating gate structures, utilizes a mask through which a stack, formed by a second level polysilicon layer, an interpoly isolating dielectric layer, a first level polysilicon layer and a gate oxide layer, is etched for defining in a longitudinal sense the gate structures (i.e. the channel length) of the EPROM cells. The gate structures are subsequently defined in a transversal sense by etching through another mask a stack comprising a third level polysilicon layer deposited directly over said second level polysilicon layer, said interpoly dielectric layer and said first level polysilicon layer.
