    摘要: A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory device at least comprises steps as follows. First, a substrate on which a bottom dielectric layer is formed is provided. Then, impurities are introduced through the bottom dielectric layer to the substrate, so as to form a plurality of spaced doped regions on the substrate. The structure is thermally annealed for pushing the spaced doped regions to diffuse outwardly. After annealing, a charge trapping layer is formed on the bottom dielectric layer, and a top dielectric layer is formed on the charge trapping layer. Finally, a gate structure (such as a polysilicon layer and a silicide) is formed on the top dielectric layer.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory cell may include a semiconductor substrate; a source region in a portion of the substrate; a drain region within a portion of the substrate; a well region within a portion of the substrate. The memory cell may further include a first carrier tunneling layer over the substrate; a charge storage layer over the first carrier tunneling layer; a second carrier tunneling layer over the charge storage layer; and a conductive control gate over the second carrier tunneling layer. Specifically, the drain region is spaced apart from the source region, and the well region may surround at least a portion of the source and drain regions. In one example, the second carrier tunneling layer provides hole tunneling during an erasing operation and may include at least one dielectric layer.

    摘要: A NAND-type flash memory device includes asymmetric floating gates overlying respective wordlines. A given floating gate is sufficiently coupled to its respective wordline such that a large gate (i.e., wordline) bias voltage will couple the floating gate with a voltage which can invert the channel under the floating gate. The inversion channel under the floating gate can thus serve as the source/drain. As a result, the memory device does not need a shallow junction, or an assist-gate. In addition, the memory device exhibits relatively low floating gate-to-floating gate (FG-FG) interference.
