发明名称 Non-volatile memory (NVM) cell, high voltage transistor, and high-K and metal gate transistor integration
摘要 A method of making a semiconductor structure using a substrate having a non-volatile memory (NVM) portion, a first high voltage portion, a second high voltage portion and a logic portion, includes forming a first conductive layer over an oxide layer on a major surface of the substrate in the NVM portion, the first and second high voltage portions, and logic portion. A memory cell is fabricated in the NVM portion while the first conductive layer remains in the first and second high voltage portions and the logic portion. The first conductive layer is patterned to form transistor gates in the first and second high voltage portions. A protective mask is formed over the NVM portion and the first and second high voltage portions. A transistor gate is formed in the logic portion while the protective mask remains in the NVM portion and the first and second high voltage portions.

主权项 1. A method of making a semiconductor structure using a substrate having a non-volatile memory (NVM) portion, a high voltage portion, a medium voltage portion, and a logic portion, comprising: growing a first oxide on a major surface of the substrate in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and logic portion; depositing a first conductive layer over the first oxide in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion; patterning and etching the first conductive layer to expose the high voltage portion and the medium voltage portion; growing a second oxide in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion; masking the high voltage portion; etching the second oxide from the NVM portion, medium voltage portion, and the logic portion while the high voltage portion is masked; growing a third oxide in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion; masking the high voltage portion and the medium voltage portion; etching the third oxide and the first conductive layer in the NVM portion and the logic portion while the high voltage portion and the medium voltage portion remain masked; growing a fourth oxide in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion; fabricating a memory cell requiring high voltage during operation in the NVM portion, the fabricating including using a protective layer over the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion when performing an implant in a second conductive layer in the NVM portion; removing the protective layer over the high voltage portion, the medium voltage portion, and the logic portion; patterning transistor gates in the high voltage portion and the medium voltage portion; depositing a protective mask in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, and the medium voltage portion; and forming a logic device in the logic portion while the protective mask remains in the NVM portion, the high voltage portion, and the medium voltage portion.
