Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a substrate, a dielectric layer over the substrate, a first gate conductor, an inter-gate dielectric structure and a second gate conductor is disclosed. A gate dielectric structure is disposed between the first gate conductor and the dielectric layer, and may include two or more dielectric films disposed in an alternating manner. The inter-gate dielectric structure may be disposed between the first gate conductor and the second gate conductor, and may include two or more dielectric films disposed in an alternating manner. The second gate conductor is formed in an L shape such that the second gate has a relatively low aspect ratio, which allows for a reduction in spacing between adjacent gates, while maintaining the required electrical isolation between the gates and contacts that may subsequently be formed.

Claim (Index 42):
A split gate memory cell, comprising:\n a first gate disposed over a first gate dielectric structure on a substrate; a second gate disposed over a second gate dielectric structure on the substrate, the second gate comprising an L shape including a vertical portion adjacent to the first gate and a horizontal portion on an opposite side of the vertical portion from the first gate; an inter-gate dielectric structure disposed between first gate and the second gate; a spacer disposed on a sidewall of the horizontal portion of the second gate and on a sidewall of an opposite side of the first gate from the second gate; and a doped region in the substrate adjacent to the opposite side of the first gate from the second gate; a contact electrically coupled to the doped region; and an insulating material disposed over the substrate between the contact and the spacer on the sidewall of the first gate, wherein the insulating material comprises no voids.
