Patent ID: 8735960

Claim:
An electronic structure comprising: a transistor comprising a control gate, wherein the control gate is a single layer; an insulator layer overlying the transistor, wherein the insulator layer is a single layer; a layer comprising silicon oxynitride overlying and in direct contact with the insulator layer; a layer comprising silicon dioxide overlying and in direct contact with the layer comprising silicon oxynitride, wherein the layer of silicon oxynitride is a single layer; a first conductor disposed through the insulator, the layer comprising silicon oxynitride, and the layer comprising silicon dioxide for electrical connection to the control gate, wherein the first conductor is electrically connected to the control gate through a first silicide conductive layer; a silicon nitride layer overlying and in direct contact with the silicon dioxide layer and the first conductor; a silicon dioxide layer overlying and in direct contact with the silicon nitride layer; and a third conductor disposed through the silicon nitride layer and the silicon dioxide layer to electrically connect to the first conductor, wherein a glue/barrier layer is deposited between the third conductor and the silicon nitride layer and the silicon dioxide layer.
