  • Patent number: 10720440
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure is shown. A first gate of a first device and a second gate of a second device are formed over a semiconductor substrate. First LDD regions are formed in the substrate beside the first gate using the first gate as a mask. A conformal layer is formed covering the first gate, the second gate and the substrate, wherein the conformal layer has sidewall portions on sidewalls of the second gate. Second LDD regions are formed in the substrate beside the second gate using the second gate and the sidewall portions of the conformal layer as a mask.

  • Publication number: 20190043877
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, a control gate electrode, a first oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) structure, a selecting gate electrode, a second ONO structure, and a spacer structure. The control gate electrode and the selecting gate electrode are disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The first ONO structure is disposed between the control gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate. The second ONO structure is disposed between the control gate electrode and the selecting gate electrode in a first direction. The spacer structure is disposed between the control gate electrode and the second ONO structure in the first direction. A distance between the control gate electrode and the selecting gate electrode in the first direction is smaller than or equal to a sum of a width of the second ONO structure and a width of the spacer structure in the first direction.
