  • Patent number: 7696554
    Abstract: A flash memory device and method of fabricating the same, wherein a width at the top of a floating gate is narrower than that at the bottom of the floating gate. The area of the floating gate can be reduced while maintaining the overlap area between the control gate and the floating gate. Therefore, inter-cell interference can be reduced without lowering program speed.

  • Publication number: 20080003750
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory device includes providing a floating gate layer over a semiconductor substrate. The floating gate layer and the semiconductor substrate are etched to form a trench. An isolation structure is formed in the trench. An upper portion of the isolation structure is etched, wherein an upper sidewall of the floating gate layer is exposed by the etching of the upper portion of the isolation structure. An oxide layer is formed on the floating gate layer to round an upper corner of the floating gate layer. A control gate layer is formed over the floating gate layer.

  • Patent number: 7109109
    Abstract: Disclosed are a contact plug in a semiconductor device and method of forming the same. After a junction region where a contact plug is formed upwardly up to the bottom of a metal wire, the raised junction region and the metal wire are connected by a contact plug. Or after a first contact plug of the same area is formed on the junction region up to the bottom of the metal wires, the first contact plug is connected by a second contact plug. Thus, the width of the contact plug except for some portions is increased by maximum. It is thus possible to prevent an electric field from being concentrated and prohibit on-current from reduced, thus improving the electrical properties of devices.

  • Patent number: 7034360
    Abstract: Provided is a high voltage transistor in a flash memory device comprising: a source/drain junction of a DDD structure consisting of a high-concentration impurity region and a low-concentration impurity region surrounding the high-concentration impurity region, the high-concentration impurity region being formed in parallel with a gate electrode at a distance spaced by a location in which a contact hole is formed, and having a rectangular shape whose width is the same as or wider than that of the contact hole and whose length is the same as or narrower than that of an active region through which the gate electrode passes. Accordingly, a current density to pass the gate electrode neighboring the contact hole portion and a current density to pass the gate electrode at a portion where the contact hole cannot be formed become uniform. A uniform and constant saturation current can be obtained regardless of the number of the contact hole.
