Abstract

Semiconductor devices and methods of producing the devices are disclosed. The devices are formed by forming a gate structure on a substrate. The gate structure includes a charge trapping dielectric formed between the substrate and a first poly layer. A top dielectric is formed over the poly layer and a sidewall dielectric is formed on a side of the poly layer. A second poly layer is formed over the gate structure such that a portion of the second poly layer includes a vertical portion that is in contact with the sidewall dielectric and a top portion that is in contact with the top dielectric. The top portion of the second poly layer can then be removed through, for instance, planarization.
