The invention describes a method of fabricating an integrated circuit used to prevent undercutting of an oxide layer due to wet etching. A semiconductor substrate has a gate formed thereon. A conformal oxide layer is formed to cover the gate. Then, a nitrogen ion implantation process is performed to introduce nitrogen ions into the surface of the conformal oxide layer. A high temperature thermal oxidation is performed in order to form Si--N bonds, that is, the nitrogen ions bonding with the silicon atoms of the conformal oxide layer, or to form Si--ON bonds, that is, the nitrogen ions bonding with the oxygen atoms of the conformal oxide layer. A dielectric layer, which covers the conformal oxide layer, is formed. Thereafter, the dielectric layer is etched back to form spacers on the sidewalls of the gate. A wet etching process is performed to remove a part of the conformal oxide layer exposed by the spacers.

A flash electrical erasable programmable read only memory structure that utilizes hot carrier injection for programming and negative gate voltage to carry out channel erase operations. Characteristic of the memory structure includes a triple well structure having a P-well and an N-well located within a P-type substrate, wherein the N-well isolated the P-well from the P-type substrate. Therefore, an independently isolated triple well structure is established during memory erase operation.
