Method of manufacturing non-volatile DRAM
First Claim
1. A method of making an integrated circuit in a semiconductor substrate, the method comprising:
- forming at least two isolation regions in the semiconductor substrate;
forming a well between the two isolation regions, the well defining a body region;
forming a first oxide layer above a first portion of the body region;
forming a first dielectric layer above the first oxide layer;
forming a first polysilicon layer above said first dielectric layer, said first polysilicon layer forming a control gate of a non-volatile device;
forming a second dielectric layer above the first polysilicon layer;
forming a first spacer above the body region and adjacent said first polysilicon layer;
forming a second oxide layer above a second portion of the body region not covered by said first spacer;
forming a second polysilicon layer over the second oxide layer, the first spacer and a portion of the second dielectric layer;
said second polysilicon layer forming a guiding gate of the non-volatile device and a gate of an MOS transistor;
delivering first implants to the body region to form lightly doped areas in the body region;
delivering second implants to the defined source and drain regions;
forming a second spacer above the body region to define regions receiving lightly dopes implants and to define a conducting region of a capacitor of the non-volatile cell.

Abstract
A method of forming a non-volatile DRAM includes, in part, forming a first polysilicon layer above a first dielectric layer to form a control gate of the non-volatile device disposed in the non-volatile DRAM, forming sidewall spacers adjacent the first polysilicon layer, forming a second polysilicon layer that forms a guiding gate of the non-volatile device disposed in the non-volatile DRAM and a gate of an MOS transistor disposed in the non-volatile DRAM, delivering first implants to the body region to form lightly doped areas in the body region, delivering second implants to the body region to define source and drain regions, forming second sidewall spacers above the body region to define regions receiving lightly dopes implants and to define a conducting region of a capacitor disposed in the non-volatile DRAM.
