    摘要: A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory device, which has a tunnel insulating layer consisting of two or more portions of different thickness, cell transistors, and auxiliary transistors for applying external voltage and for interfacing with peripheral circuits is described. According to the method, the tunnel insulating layer, a conductive layer, and a first insulating layer are sequentially deposited over a semiconductor substrate. The resultant structure is selectively etched to a given depth to form trenches. A second insulating layer is deposited over the substrate including the trenches, and the second insulating layer is selectively removed so as to form element isolation regions consisting of the trenches filled with the second insulating layer. The first insulating layer is selectively removed, and the second insulating layer is selectively removed by a CMP process to expose the conductive layer. The conductive layer is used as the stopping layer during the CMP process.

The polishing head comprises a carrier having at least two fluid passages, a retainer ring disposed on a lower edge of the carrier, forming a space for receiving the wafer, a supporter disposed in the carrier, and a flexible membrane disposed to be in contact with the wafer. The supporter has an upper surface portion, a lower surface portion, a plurality of first holes, a plurality of second holes, and a first chamber. The upper surface portion of the supporter forms a second chamber along with an inner surface of the carrier. The second chamber is in communication with one of the two fluid passages of the carrier and the second holes are formed in a lower surface portion of the supporter to communicate with the second chamber. The first chamber is in communication with the other one of the two fluid passages and the first holes are formed in the lower surface portion of the supporter to communicate with the first chamber. The lower surface portion of the supporter has a flat surface and a chamfered or rounded edge. The membrane disposed to enclose the lower surface portion of the supporter has a plurality of third holes formed at positions corresponding to the first holes to absorb and hold the wafer by vacuum.
