Abstract:
The invention provides a flash memory device and a method for fabricating thereof. The device comprises a gate stack layer of a gate dielectric layer and a gate polysilicon layer formed on a substrate, a stack layer comprising a floating polysilicon layer and gate spacer formed on the sidewall of the gate stack layer. A metal layer is formed on the gate stack layer and is utilized in place of a portion of the gate polysilicon layer. Because the metal layer has relatively high conductivity and is electrically connected to a metal plug later formed, current velocity of the device is increased to improve performance.

Abstract:
The present invention disclose an iris recognition method, which utilizes a matching pursuit algorithm to simplify the extraction and reconstruction of iris features and reduce the memory space required by each iris feature vector without the penalty of recognition accuracy. The iris recognition method of the present invention comprises an iris-localization component and a pattern matching component. The iris-localization component locates the iris region via the color difference between different portions of the eyeball. The primary iris features are extracted from iris information and transformed into a sequence of iris feature vectors by a matching pursuit algorithm. Thus, the iris image can be represented by a sequence of atoms, and each atom contains base, amplitude and location. Then, the comparison between the feature vectors of two irises is performed to determine whether the two irises match.

A method for fabricating a vertical nitride read-only memory (NROM) cell. A substrate having at least one trench is provided. A spacer is formed over the sidewall of the trench. Subsequently, ion implantation is performed on the substrate using the spacer as a mask to form doping areas as bit lines in the substrate near its surface and the bottom of the trench. Bit line oxides are formed over each of the doping areas. After the spacer is removed, a conformable insulating layer as gate dielectric is deposited on the sidewall of the trench and the surface of the bit line oxide. Finally, a conductive layer as a word line is deposited over the insulating layer and fills in the trench.
