  • Patent number: 7550372
    Abstract: A method of fabricating conductive lines is described. A substrate having a polysilicon layer thereon is provided. A mask layer having an opening that exposes the polysilicon layer is formed on the polysilicon layer. Then, spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the mask layer. Using the mask layer and the spacers as a mask, a portion of the polysilicon layer is removed until the substrate is exposed. After that, an insulating layer that completely fills the opening is formed over the substrate. The insulating layer has an etching selectivity different from the mask layer. Thereafter, the mask layer is removed to expose the polysilicon layer and then a metal silicide layer is formed on the upper surface of the polysilicon layer.

  • Patent number: 7049189
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory cell includes forming a bottom dielectric layer and a charge trapping layer on a substrate sequentially. The electron trapping layer is patterned to form a trench exposing a portion of the bottom dielectric layer. A top dielectric layer is formed over the substrate and covers the electron trapping layer and the exposed bottom dielectric layer. A conductive layer is then formed on the top dielectric layer. The conductive layer, the top dielectric layer, the electron trapping layer and the bottom dielectric layer are patterned to form a stacked structure, wherein a width of the stacked structure is larger than a width of the trench. A source/drain region is formed in the substrate adjacent to the edges of the stacked structure. Because the electron trapping layer of the memory cell is divided into two isolation structures according to the invention, it is adapted for the integration of devices and for long-time operation.
