  • Patent number: 6017799
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a dynamic random memory. On a semiconductor substrate comprising a memory cell region and a periphery circuit region, a first field implantation and a first anti-punch through implantation are performed. Using a photo-resist layer formed to cover the memory cell region as a mask, the periphery circuit region is performed with a second field implantation and a second anti-punch through implantation.

  • Patent number: 5650960
    Abstract: A method for programming a memory cell is disclosed. The state of the memory cell is determined by the presence or absence of a spacer short. A memory cell has a floating gate, a control gate and an insulating layer separating the floating gate and the control gate. Spacers are deposited on the sides of the control gate and the insulating layer. When the cell is selected to be programmed in the "off" or non-conductive state, the spacers are in contact only with the control gate and the insulating layer. When the cell is selected to be programmed in the "on" or conductive state, the spacers are in contact with the control gate, the insulating layer, and the floating gate, thereby creating a spacer short.
