ABSTRACT:
A method of protecting a charge trapping dielectric flash memory cell from UV-induced charging, including fabricating a charge trapping dielectric flash memory cell in a semiconductor device; depositing over the charge trapping dielectric flash memory cell at least one UV-protective layer; forming at least one layer over the at least one UV-protective layer; and etching the at least one layer to form an opening therein with an etchant species selective to stop on a layer below the at least one UV-protective layer, wherein the UV-protective layer comprises a substantially UV-opaque material.
