  • Patent number: 11581441
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a tunneling oxide layer, a floating gate, an isolation layer and a control gate. The tunneling oxide layer is over the substrate. The floating gate is over the tunneling oxide layer. The isolation layer covers a top of the floating gate and peripherally encloses the tunneling oxide layer and the floating gate. The control gate is over a top of the isolation layer.

  • Patent number: 10283604
    Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of gate structures on a semiconductor substrate. A first inter layer dielectric layer is deposited on the gate structures. A first contact plug is formed in the first inter layer dielectric layer in between every two immediately adjacent gate structures. An etch stop layer is deposited on the first inter layer dielectric layer. A second inter layer dielectric layer is deposited on the first inter layer dielectric layer. A second contact plug is formed in the second inter layer dielectric layer aligning with the first contact plug. A metal layer is deposited overlying the second inter layer dielectric layer and the second contact plug.

  • Patent number: 9997479
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor substrate having a top surface is provided. A top metal layer is formed in the top surface. A first passivation layer is formed to cover the top metal layer and the top surface. The first passivation layer has a via hole exposing a portion of the top metal layer. A redistribution layer is formed to cover the first passivation layer, the portion of the top metal layer, and a side surface of the via hole. The redistribution layer includes an overhang structure over the via hole. An etching process is performed on the redistribution layer to remove the overhang structure and a portion of the redistribution layer to expose a portion of the first passivation layer. A second passivation layer is formed to cover the redistribution layer and the portion of the first passivation layer.
