Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method is suitable for a substrate having a first conducting structure and a first dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer covers the first conductive structure. The method includes the steps of forming a second conductive structure over the substrate adjacent to the first conductive structure. Then, the size of the second conductive structure is reduced so that a top surface of the second conductive structure is relatively lower than that of the first conductive structure. Thereafter, a second dielectric layer is formed over the substrate to cover the first and the second conductive structure. A via is formed in the second dielectric layer to expose the top surface of the first conductive structure. Finally, a via plug is formed in the via.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a non-volatile memory is disclosed. First, a semiconductor device is formed in a substrate, and the top of the semiconductor device is higher than the surface of the substrate. Then, a first dielectric layer is formed on the substrate, and the first dielectric layer covers the semiconductor device and the substrate. A portion of the first dielectric layer is removed so as to retain a portion of the first dielectric layer on the sidewall of the semiconductor device and the substrate. Afterwards, a second dielectric layer and a conductive layer are sequentially formed on the substrate, and a corresponding pair of mask spacers is formed on the conductive layer disposed on the sidewall of the semiconductor device. Finally, the mask spacers are used as an etching mask to continuously etch a portion of the conductive layer until the surface of the second dielectric layer is exposed.
