    摘要: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having multi-gate insulation layers and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby are provided. The method includes forming a pad insulation layer and an initial high voltage gate insulation layer on a first region and a second region of a semiconductor substrate respectively. The initial high voltage gate insulation layer is formed to be thicker than the pad insulation layer. A first isolation layer that penetrates the pad insulation layer and is buried in the semiconductor substrate is formed to define a first active region in the first region, and a second isolation layer that penetrates the initial high voltage gate insulation layer and is buried in the semiconductor substrate is formed to define a second active region in the second region. The pad insulation layer is then removed to expose the first active region. A low voltage gate insulation layer is formed on the exposed first active region. Accordingly, it can minimize a depth of recessed regions (dent regions) to be formed at edge regions of the first isolation layer during removal of the pad insulation layer, and it can prevent dent regions from being formed at edge regions of the second isolation layer.

    摘要: Provided are a non-volatile flash memory device and a method of making the non-volatile flash memory device. A common source line is formed simultaneously with the formation of stacked transistors. The common source line is formed of the same material layer as floating gate pattern. The common source region and a scribe line region are simultaneously formed thorough the same photolithography process in a semiconductor substrate. Additionally, the common source line and butted contact are patterned simultaneously through the same photolithography process. Accordingly, the common source line process can be advantageously completed with very low cost and simplicity.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a floating gate in a non-volatile memory device and a floating gate fabricated using the same are provided. A conductive layer having upper and lower portions is formed over a substrate with field regions formed therein. A hard mask layer is formed over the conductive layer. Next, a photoresist pattern is formed over the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer is etched to form a hard mask pattern, using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask. The upper portion of the conductive layer is slope-etched, leaving the lower portion of the conductive layer intact, using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask. The slope-etched upper portion of the conductive layer is again vertically etched and the lower portion of the conductive layer is concurrently slope-etched, using the hard pattern as an etching mask. With the present invention, a bridge between floating gates can be reduced, and field loss can be reduced during processing steps such as an ONO etching process.

    摘要: Non-volatile memory devices and fabrication methods thereof are provided. The device includes a plurality of isolation layers formed at a semiconductor device, a plurality of stacked gates crossing over an active region between the isolation layers, and an oxidation barrier layer covering the stacked gate. Each of the stacked gates has a control gate electrode crossing over the active region, a floating gate interposed between the control gate electrode and the active region, and an inter-gate dielectric layer interposed between the control gate electrode and the floating gate. Also, the inter-gate dielectric layer has a bottom dielectric layer, an intermediate dielectric layer and a top dielectric layer which are sequentially stacked. The oxidation barrier layer is formed prior to a subsequent thermal oxidation process for curing etch damage that occurs during formation of the stacked gates.
