Abstract
Abstract The process call for N - doping of a predetermined portion of a type-P semiconductor substrate preceding deposit and definition of a layer of gate polysilicon on a part of said predetermined portion and on an adjacent portion of substrate. After oxidation of the polysilicon there is performed an N + doping in the remaining part of said predetermined portion of the substrate and of an additional substrate portion located on the opposite side of the gate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
Process for obtaining a high-voltage N-channel transistor, particularly for an EEPROM memory with CMOS technology, comprising in succession the steps of: a) N - doping at least a first portion of a P-type semiconductor substrate surface which has been covered with an oxide layer, b) oxidizing the doped first portion of the substrate surface to form a gate oxide layer which is thicker than gate oxide layer thicknesses on any other portion of the substrate surface as a result of the N - doping, c) deposite and definition of an N + doped polysilicon layer on a part of said doped first portion and on an adjacent portion of the substrate surface to form a gate strip, d) oxidizing the gate strip, e) N + doping the remaining part of said doped first portion of the substrate surface which does not have the N + doped polysilicon layer deposited and defined thereon, and simultaneously N + doping another portion of the substrate surface at a side of the gate strip opposite to that of said doped first portion to form drain and source areas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
Process in accordance with claim 1 characterized in that said first portion comprises a first drain portion for an EEPROM cell selection transistor and a second drain portion for a high-voltage external circuitry transistor for an EEPROM memory and said additional portion comprises a first source portion for said selection transistor and a second source portion for said circuitry transistor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
Process in accordance with claim 2 characterized in that said N - doping is also performed on said second source portion, part of which receives said polysilicon layer and the remaining part being subjected to said N + doping.
