Claims
- 1. A method of making a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:
- depositing a first conductive layer on a face of a semiconductor body of one type over an insulating coating, and patterning said first conductive layer to leave an electrode,
- depositing a second conductive layer on said face over an insulating coating and over said first conductive layer, with insulating coating between the first and second layers, and patterning said second layer to leave an electrode,
- introducing conductivity determining impurity of the opposite type into the body in self-alignment with the first and second conductive layers,
- the improvement comprising the step of introducing conductivity determining impurity of said one type into said body in self-alignment with the first conductive layer using one of said conductive layers as a mask, to form a region more heavily doped than the body, said region extending partially beneath the first conductive layer but not extending completely from one side of said electrode of the first layer to the other side of said electrode of the first layer.
- 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the first and second conductive layers are polycrystalline silicon, and the semiconductor device is an electrically programmable memory.
- 3. A method according to claim 2 wherein the insulating coating is silicon oxide and the semiconductor body is P type silicon.
- 4. A method according to claim 3 wherein the step of introducing impurity is performed on one side of said one of the layers but not on the other side.
- 5. A method according to claim 4 wherein the first and second conductive layers are self-aligned.
