For example, spacers 145 are further provided on both sides of the gates 120 and 140, and the material of the spacers 145 is, for example, ruthenium oxide. A shallow doped region 160 is provided, for example, in the substrate 1 下方 below the spacer 145 to mitigate the short channel effect. In one embodiment, the doped region 150a (the source of the memory cell 105) is coupled to, for example, a bit line, and the doped region 150c (the drain of the memory cell 103) is coupled to another bit line, for example. The gate 140 of the memory cell 105 is, for example, coupled to a word line, and the gate 120 of the memory cell 1〇3 is, for example, surfaced to another word line. When operating the p-type channel non-volatile memory, for example, the serially connected memory cell 103 and the memory cell 105 are regarded as one memory cell. When the memory cell 103 writes data, the memory cell 105 is used as the selection transistor; when the memory cell 105 writes the data, the memory cell 1〇3 is selected as the selection transistor to avoid writing, reading and erasing operations. Problems such as misjudgment or over-erasing of data occur. It is worth mentioning that, although the P-type substrate 1〇〇 is matched with the p-type channel non-volatile memory of the N-type well region 1〇1 as an example, the memory proposed by the present invention is of course also It can be that the N-type well region is not set, but 13 1276105 17870twf.doc/r is forced to non-volatile memory. 105 constitutes a note, two memory cells 103 connected in series, then another = two 2, read one of the memory cells, another set - can not be used to select the transistor. That is to say, there is no need for a body, so that the M0S transistor of the Bay I4 can be greatly reduced as the selection of the crystal, and the size of the bit cell is increased to increase the degree of integration of the element. It has a single-material crystal memory only (SOQ: Logic process with CMOS = MW, system-level wafer Figure 2 ^ 1 loading volatile memory operation method, Figure 2A to Hua, Xinji J-type pass this Schematic diagram of the stylization, = fetching and erasing operation modes of non-volatile memory cells.
