Abstract: A memory cell includes a substrate. A first STI and a second STI are embedded within the substrate. The first STI and the second STI extend along a first direction. An active region is disposed on the substrate and between the first STI and the second STI. A control gate is disposed on the substrate and extends along a second direction. The first direction is different from the second direction. A tunneling region is disposed in the active region overlapping the active region. A first trench is embedded within the tunneling region. Two second trenches are respectively embedded within the first STI and the second STI. The control gate fills in the first trench and the second trenches. An electron trapping stack is disposed between the tunneling region and the control gate.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a patterned multi-layered dielectric film on a substrate; forming a patterned stack on the patterned multi-layered dielectric film so that an edge of the patterned multi-layered dielectric film is exposed from the patterned stack; forming a cover layer to cover a part of the substrate and expose the patterned stack and the exposed edge of the patterned multi-layered dielectric film; removing at least a part of the exposed edge of the patterned multi-layered dielectric film by using the cover layer and the patterned stack as an etching mask; and performing an ion implantation process by using the cover layer as an etching mask so as to form a doped region.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is described. A stacked gate dielectric is formed over a substrate, including a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and a third dielectric layer from bottom to top. A conductive layer is formed on the stacked gate dielectric and then patterned to form a gate conductor. The exposed portion of the third and the second dielectric layers are removed with a selective wet cleaning step. S/D extension regions are formed in the substrate with the gate conductor as a mask. A first spacer is formed on the sidewall of the gate conductor and a portion of the first dielectric layer exposed by the first spacer is removed. S/D regions are formed in the substrate at both sides of the first spacer. A metal silicide layer is formed on the S/D regions.
