Disclosed herein is a method for fabricating a fine line, which belongs to a field of ultra-large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing technology. In the invention, three trimming mask processes are performed to effectively improve a profile of the line and greatly reduce the LER (line edge roughness) of the line. At the same time, the invention is combined with a sidewall process, so that a nano-scaled fine line can be successfully fabricated and precisely controlled to 20 nm. Thus, a nano-scaled line with an optimized LER can be fabricated over the substrate.

The present invention discloses a method for achieving four-bit storage by using a flash memory having a splitting trench gate. The flash memory with the splitting trench gate is disclosed in a Chinese patent No. 200710105964.2. At one side that each of two trenches is contacted with a channel, a programming for electrons is achieved by using a channel hot electron injection method; and at the other side that each of the two trenches is contacted with a source or a drain, a programming for electrons is achieved by using an FN injection method, so that a function of a four-bit storage of the device is achieved by changing a programming mode. Thus, a performance of the device is improved while a storage density is greatly increased.

A method for testing trap density in a gate dielectric layer of a semiconductor device having no substrate contact is provided in the invention. A source and a drain of the device are bilateral symmetric, and probes and cables of a test instrument connecting to the source and the drain are bilateral symmetric. Firstly, bias settings at the gate, the source and the drain are controlled so that the device is under an initial state that an inversion layer is not formed and traps in the gate dielectric layer impose no confining effects on charges. After that, the following steps are repeated sequentially to form a loop by changing the bias settings: 1) carriers flow into the channel through the source and the drain to form an inversion layer, and a portion of carriers are confined by the traps in the gate dielectric layer; 2) carriers of the inversion layer flow back to the source and the drain respectively, whereas the carriers confined by the traps in the gate dielectric layer do not flow back to the channel; 3) carriers confined by the traps in the gate dielectric layer flow out through the drain terminal only; and the trap density of the gate dielectric layer are calculated according to the period of the loop, the size of the channel of the device, and DC currents at the source and the drain. The method is simple and effective and is easy to setup the instruments with a low cost. The method is applicable to be used in testing traps in the gate dielectric layer of the devices that have no substrate contact, especially the surrounding-gate device.
