ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit structure is disclosed wherein an EPROM cell has an active area formed by the same operations as are carried out to form a P region intended to contain an N-channel MOS transistor, source and drain regions formed by the same operations as are carried out to form the source and drain regions of said transistor, a control electrode consisting of an N+ region formed by the same operations as are carried out to form deep regions intended to contact buried N+ regions, and a floating gate electrode consisting of a layer of conductive material formed by the same operations as are carried out to form the gate electrodes of the MOS transistors in the integrated circuit.
The EPROM cell can, therefore, be formed in a mixed integrated circuit with no need for purposely added processing steps.
