Abstract: A method for fabricating a flash memory cell. The method starts with sequential formation of a first insulating layer, a first conductive layer and pad layer on a semiconductor substrate. Part of the pad layer is removed to form a first opening, followed by forming a conductive spacer, i.e. the tip, on the sidewalls of the first opening. Then, parts of the pad layer, first conductive layer, first insulating layer and substrate are removed to form a second opening. Next, a second insulating layer is formed to fill the first opening and the second opening to form a first gate insulating layer and shallow trench isolation. The first gate insulating layer is used as hard mask to remove part of the first conductive layer and the first insulating layer to form a floating gate and a second insulating layer. Tunneling oxide and control gate are then formed on the floating gate. Finally, a source/drain is formed.
