Source regions are formed in the active regions adjacent to the ground selection line patterns and opposite the string selection line pattern. The source regions and the isolation layers between the source regions are covered with a common source line running parallel with the ground selection line pattern.

A non-volatile memory device and fabrication method thereof are provided. A floating region is formed on an active region on a substrate. Trenches define the active region. The floating region is made of an ONO layer. A gate electrode is formed on the floating region. A mask is formed on the gate electrode. A thermal oxidation is performed to make a sidewall oxide and a trench oxide on the sidewall of the gate electrode and the trench, respectively. As a result, the widths of the gate electrode and the active region become less than the width of the floating region, thereby forming protrusions at ends of the floating region. Isolation regions are formed in the trenches and include the sidewall oxide and the trench oxide. The isolation regions surround the protrusions. As a result, electric field induced on the sidewall of the floating region is decreased. Moreover, the thermal oxidation cures any damage to the sidewalls of the floating region. Accordingly, leakage current can be substantially suppressed at the boundary region between the isolation region and the floating region.
摘要:
A method of forming a non-volatile memory having a floating trap-type device is disclosed in the present invention. In the method, a relatively thick thermal oxide layer is formed at a semiconductor substrate and patterned to leave a thick thermal oxide pattern at a high-voltage region (a high-voltage region defining step). An oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer is formed over substantially the entire surface (the substantial surface) of the semiconductor substrate and patterned to leave an ONO pattern at a cell memory region (a cell memory region defining step). After the high-voltage region defining step and the cell memory region defining step, a thermal oxidizing process is performed with respect to the semiconductor substrate where a low-voltage region is exposed, thereby forming a relatively thin gate insulation layer for a low-voltage type device (a low-voltage region defining region).
