摘要: A modified nitride spacer and making of the same are disclosed. The is formed adjacent a high-temperature oxide (HTO) layer which in turn sidewalls gate electrode. It shown that placement an intervening between electrode spacer, order only, provides significant improvement charge retention floating memory cells. Also, forming from pure, undoped only yields favorable results.
