Abstract

A simplified fabrication procedure for making flash EEPROM memory cells is disclosed. The method comprises performing a double-diffuse (deep) junction implant after the shallow source/drain of the memory cell have been implanted and formed. A high energy double-diffuse implant is used to replace separate, individual implant and diffusion steps which results in a memory cell having, less damage to its substrate.
