Method of manufacturing source region of flash EEPROM memory cell field

摘要

The field insulation in a flash memory cell is provided by an oxide/polysilicon/oxide sandwich. The memory cell area is reduced by dopant implantation, self-aligned with respect to the word lines of two adjacent memory cells, for producing the source regions and source connections. The field insulation produces a capacitance between the doping region and the polysilicon layer of the insulation layer which improves the read characteristic of the memory cell.
