Abstract: A method for fabricating a split gate flash memory cell. First, a substrate having a doped region covered by a first conductive layer is provided. A floating gate and a first insulating layer are successively formed over the substrate on both sides of the first conductive layer. Thereafter, a conformable second insulating layer and a conformable second conductive layer are successively formed on the substrate and the first insulating layer, and then a third insulating layer is formed thereon. The third insulating layer and the second conductive layer are successively etched back to expose the second insulating layer. The third insulating layer is removed using a cap layer formed on the second conductive layer as a mask to form an opening. Finally, the second conductive layer under the opening is removed to form a control gate underlying the cap layer.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a vertical nitride read-only memory (NROM) cell. A substrate having at least one trench is provided. A spacer is formed over the sidewall of the trench. Subsequently, ion implantation is performed on the substrate using the spacer as a mask to form doping areas as bit lines in the substrate near its surface and the bottom of the trench. Bit line oxides are formed over each of the doping areas. After the spacer is removed, a conformable insulating layer as gate dielectric is deposited on the sidewall of the trench and the surface of the bit line oxide. Finally, a conductive layer as a word line is deposited over the insulating layer and fills in the trench.
