20080274601 | METHOD OF FORMING A TRANSISTOR HAVING MULTIPLE TYPES OF SCHOTTKY JUNCTIONS - A gate electrode is formed overlying a substrate. A first angled metal implant is performed at a first angle into the substrate followed by performing a second angled metal implant at a second angle. The first angled metal implant and the second angled metal implant form a first current electrode and a second current electrode. Each of the first current electrode and the second current electrode has at least two regions of differing metal composition. A metal layer is deposited overlying the gate electrode, the first current electrode and the second current electrode. The metal layer is annealed to form two Schottky junctions in each of the first current electrode and the second current electrode. The two Schottky junctions have differing barrier levels. | 11-06-2008 |

20110012629 | REPLACEMENT-GATE-COMPATIBLE PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRICAL ANTIFUSE - After planarization of a gate level dielectric layer, a dummy structure is removed to form a recess. A first conductive material layer and an amorphous metal oxide are deposited into the recess area. A second conduct material layer fills the recess. After planarization, an electrical antifuse is formed within the filled recess area, which includes a first conductive material portion, an amorphous metal oxide portion, and a second conductive material portion. To program the electrical antifuse, current is passed between the two terminals in the pair of the conductive contacts to transform the amorphous metal oxide portion into a crystallized metal oxide portion, which has a lower resistance. A sensing circuit determines whether the metal oxide portion is in an amorphous state (high resistance state) or in a crystalline state (low resistance state). | 01-20-2011 |

20140319596 | SELECTIVE GATE OXIDE PROPERTIES ADJUSTMENT USING FLUORINE - Fluorine is located in selective portions of a gate oxide to adjust characteristics of the gate oxide. In some embodiments, the fluorine promotes oxidation which increases the thickness of the selective portion of the gate oxide. In some embodiments, the fluorine lowers the dielectric constant of the oxide at the selective portion. In some examples, having fluorine at selective portions of a select gate oxide of a non volatile memory may reduce program disturb of the memory. | 10-30-2014 |
20150054049 | INTEGRATED SPLIT GATE NON-VOLATILE MEMORY CELL AND LOGIC STRUCTURE - A method of making a semiconductor structure includes forming a select gate and a charge storage layer in an NVM region. A spacer select gate is formed by depositing a conformal layer followed by an etch back. A patterned etch results in leaving a portion of the charge storage layer over the select gate. A dummy gate structure formed in a logic region has a dummy gate surrounded by an insulating layer. Performing chemical polishing results in the top surface of the charge storage layer being coplanar with top surface of the dummy gate structure. Replacing a portion of the dummy gate structure with a metal logic gate which includes a further chemical mechanical polishing results in the top surface of the charge storage layer being coplanar with the metal logic gate. | 02-26-2015 |
