Abstract: A flash memory device is configured to address the problems that charges generated when via hole is etched is charged to a junction region through a metal line and are thus concentrated on a tunnel oxide film, thus making distribution of a threshold voltage over a cell uneven when a device is driven. In order to solve the problems, the device has a junction region in an outside circuit region so charges generated when via hole is etched is concentrated on the junction region formed in the outside circuit region. Thus, it can prevent concentration of the charges on the cell and thus make uniform distribution of the threshold voltage over a cell array.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a flash memory device. According to the present invention, a dielectric film is formed and an amorphous silicon layer is then formed to mitigate a topology generated by patterning of a first polysilicon layer in a cell region. The amorphous silicon layer serves as a protection layer of the dielectric film in the cell region when a gate oxide film in a peripheral circuit region is formed. Therefore, the present invention can not only improve the resistance of a word line in the cell region but also improve the film quality of the dielectric film and the gate oxide film in the peripheral circuit region.
