Abstract

See full text

During formation of a charge trap separation in a semiconductor device, a polymer deposition is formed in a reactor using a first chemistry. In a following step, a second chemistry can be used to etch the polymer deposition in the reactor. The same or similar second chemistry can be used in a second etching step to expose a first oxide layer in each of the cells of the semiconductor device and to form a flat upper surface. This additional etch step can also be performed by the reactor, thereby reducing the number of machines required in the formation process.
