ABSTRACT:
A process of fabricating high performance EPROMs in which memory cell devices and high voltage circuit devices are formed in p-type tub regions of high threshold voltage. The tub regions are formed by implanting boron ions in photolithographically defined memory cell and high voltage device areas of a p-type wafer substrate, then subjecting the substrate to a high temperature drive-in. The N-channel isolation field is formed separately and has a lower threshold voltage than the tub regions. The isolation field is formed by implanting boron ions around all device areas, including low voltage device areas, using a nitride mask and a low implantation energy. The wafer is then subjected to an anneal step followed by a field oxidation step. The memory cell and other MOS devices are finally formed in the appropriate defined regions. Since the isolation field's threshold voltage can be adjusted separately from the tub regions, the threshold voltage of the field can be reduced making it possible to reduce the isolation spacing of low voltage devices, reduce parasitic capacitance and increase device speed.
