AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for forming non-volatile memory cells and logic devices on a semiconductor substrate often adversely affect each other during processing, leading to performance issues.
A method involving substrate recessing, insulation layer formation, and selective etching to create separate trenches and conductive layers for memory cells, high voltage devices, and low voltage logic devices, with a dummy area to isolate and protect the logic devices from processing impacts.
This method allows for simultaneous formation of memory cells, high voltage devices, and low voltage logic devices on a substrate without adverse effects, ensuring precise control over layer thickness and structure, enhancing device performance and reducing complexity.
