  • Patent number: 7777267
    Abstract: The manufacturing method of a nonvolatile memory and its structure is achieved by building a gate dielectric layer on a base. The gate dielectric contains at least two layers of different material layers. At least one hetero element is planted on the top of the gate dielectric layer so as to increase the electronic trap density. Then rebuild a new top material after removing the upmost layer of material. Finally, build a gate electrode layer on the gate dielectric layer and form source/drain electrodes at the bases of both sides of the gate dielectric layer. In this invention, with the planting of the hetero element, it will form traps in the gate dielectric layer that can catch electrons more easily. Thus, the electrons won't combine together with the increase of operation time. The storage time can be effectively extended and the problem of the combination of bites can be solved.

  • Patent number: 6767792
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to provide a fabrication method for forming a flash memory device provided with an adjustable sharp end structure of the floating gate. While the present invention utilizes the dielectric spacer to form the L-shaped floating gate provided with a sharp end structure, the present invention adjust the thickness of the polysilicon layer and the dielectric layer covering on the polysilicon layer surface to adjust the position of the dielectric spacer so as to change the position of the sharp end structure of the L-shaped floating gate and to enhance the ability of erasing control of the flash memory and to simultaneously form a stable and easily controlled channel length and the sharp end structure for point discharging.

  • Publication number: 20030223299
    Abstract: The structure of the FLASH device includes a first dielectric layer formed on a substrate. A floating gate with spacer profile formed on the first dielectric layer. A dielectric spacer is formed on the floating gate for isolation. A second dielectric layer is formed along the approximately vertical surface of the floating gate and the dielectric spacer and a lateral portion of the second dielectric layer laterally extends over the substrate adjacent the floating gate. A control gate is formed on the lateral portion of the second dielectric layer that laterally extends over the substrate. The control gate is formed on the lateral portion of the second dielectric layer.
