Disclosed a mixed signal consisting of an embedded mask ROM, a nitride read-only memory (NR0M), and a capacitor. Circuit. When the size of integrated circuit components is reduced, the design of integrated circuit for mixed-signal components becomes more complicated. For example, in the small-sized transistor, the automatic alignment metal silicide (sa 1 pesticide) process needs to be applied to It is possible to form a conductive metal silicide on the surface of the source / non-electrode of the peripheral circuit to improve the conductivity. However, for a memory array that requires automatic alignment of the sa 1icide process and a circuit capable of processing mixed signals, the following difficulties arise: Since the array part of the integrated circuit must be protected, the array part and the The metal alignment process is automatically aligned to form isolation, so the metal silicide is not formed in the space between the word lines. For example, the metal stone in the word line space will produce a leaking channel in the ground ROM of the flat ROM, so it has a mixed signal element.

In this embodiment, the spacers 157 and 158 are formed of silicon nitride. If a dielectric layer is provided on the surface of the substrate under the silicon nitride, the silicon nitride can improve the etch back of the spacers (etch back). ) Selectivity during etching. Other materials that have a relative etching selectivity for the gate dielectric material can also be used as the constituent material of the spacer. The next step is to apply a self-aligned metal silicide process. As shown in FIG. 8, the self-aligned metal silicide process is performed in a non-array region to form a first alignment with the spacers 157 and 158. The conductive metal silicide 159 is on the exposed diffusion region and on the gate structure. In an embodiment for forming a metal silicide, the diffusion bit lines in the array region use a column mask to avoid the self-aligned metal silicide process. For example, during the etch-back process of the self-quasi-metal silicide process, an array mask is used in the array region to avoid the formation of a spacer wall in the array region of the element, so as to leave a silicon nitride layer and prevent the metal silicide from Between character lines. Another method is to form a partition that can fill the space between the character lines after the silicon nitride is deposited, and protect the space between the character lines to avoid the process of self-aligned metal lithotripsy. There is another method, which is to deposit a CVD oxide layer between the word lines before patterning the first polycrystalline silicon layer to avoid damage to the array area due to the CMOS process of the non-array area. After the self-aligned metal silicide process, a read-only memory data code (ROM code) was implanted in the array region of the device (block 21), which includes the following steps: n patterning photoresist layer, ion implantation Human and photoresistance HV0735 (041202 ^ CRF1, page 16 1231010-case number-Yila 107832, date and time _ face five, description of the invention (11) " wire and package to form a flat memory (F lat R0M) integrated circuit (block 23). Figure 8 shows a integrated circuit with a mask read-only memory in its array area and peripheral circuits in its non-array area 111. A cross-sectional view of the 'array area 110 is arranged in a flat virtual ground structure, and the non-j train line domain 111 has logic and analog transistors formed using a CMOS process. At the same time, polycrystalline silicon-insulating layer-polycrystalline silicon (PIP ) Capacitance system: 'wherein' the isolation structure 1 2 0 above the isolation structure 120 is to avoid the generation of parasitic capacitance of the substrate. The PIP capacitor includes a lower electrode 149 formed by using the first polycrystalline silicon layer i. A second polycrystalline layer In the manufacturing process of an embodiment, the upper electrode 146 is about 4Um2, so the capacitance of the upper electrode makes the application of typical mixed signals possible. Of course, for the application of special signals, it is smaller or larger. The upper electrode of the size can also be implemented in the present invention. In addition, the 'edge of the lower electrode 1 4 9' is preferably separated from the edge of the active area along the side of the isolation structure 1 20 by about 1 um. Fig. 9 shows it The integrated circuit is parallel to the cross-sectional view of the buried diffusion bit line 13 (), and is relative to the process step of FIG. 8, wherein the word line structures 150 and 151 are arranged perpendicular to the bit line. In this embodiment, The space 170 'between the word lines is filled by the above-mentioned silicon nitride spacer process. In the self-aligned metal silicide process, the dielectric layer 1 3 6 is prevented from forming metal silicide. If the manufacturing process of the integrated circuit is reduced to less than 0.25um, the conductivity of the metal is 'located on the source / drain region of the peripheral circuit and the deposit of the metal oxide on the gate electrode's electrode'.
