A flash memory array

A layout and method for FLASH memory with no SAS process. The layout involves a source contact (91) that connects the source regions of a series of memory cells (11) and forms the source line (24). The source contact is formed using a hard mask insulator layer (100) as a part of the memory cell gate...

Zusammenfassung:A layout and method for FLASH memory with no SAS process. The layout involves a source contact (91) that connects the source regions of a series of memory cells (11) and forms the source line (24). The source contact is formed using a hard mask insulator layer (100) as a part of the memory cell gate stack (110), (115) which insulates the control gate (18) during source contact (91) formation.
