This disclosure provides cells of nonvolatile memory devices with floating gates and methods for fabricating the same. The cell of the nonvolatile memory device includes device isolation layers in parallel with each other on a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate that define a plurality of active regions. Each device isolation layer has sidewalls that project over the semiconductor substrate. A plurality of word lines crosses over the device isolation layers. A tunnel oxide layer, a floating gate, a gate interlayer dielectric layer, and a control gate electrode are sequentially stacked between each active region and each word line. The floating gate and the control gate electrode have sidewalls that are self-aligned to the adjacent device isolation layers. The method for forming the self-aligned floating gate and the control gate electrode includes forming trenches in a semiconductor substrate to define a plurality of active regions and concurrently forming an oxide layer pattern, a floating gate pattern, a dielectric layer pattern and a control gate pattern that are sequentially stacked. A conductive layer is then formed on the device isolation layers and the control gate pattern. Thereafter, the conductive layer, the control gate pattern, the dielectric layer pattern, the floating gate pattern, and the oxide layer pattern are successively patterned.

摘要:
A non-volatile memory cell array having second floating gates with a narrow width, a large height, and slanted side walls. Critical dimension errors due to photolithographic and etching processes are decreased. The difference in the coupling ratio between the memory cells is low thereby improving speed during programming and/or erasing. A second floating gate having a narrower critical dimension than a second floating gate obtained using a photolithographic process may be designed, thereby forming a highly integrated non-volatile memory cell array.

A non-volatile memory device and fabrication methods thereof are provided. A first inter-gate insulating layer is formed to intervene between control gate electrodes and floating gate electrodes in a cell array area. A second inter-gate insulating layer is formed to intervene between a gate electrode and a dummy gate electrode in a peripheral circuit area. The second inter-gate insulating layer has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first inter-gate insulating layer on a top surface of the floating gate electrodes. By reducing the difference between the thickness of the first inter-gate insulating layer on sidewalls of floating gate patterns and the thickness of the second inter-gate insulating layer on a gate electrode pattern, in accordance with the invention, any etching damage to the substrate in the peripheral circuit area can be considerably reduced or prevented during the fabrication process.
