  • Patent number: 11257830
    Abstract: In the memory structure, a pair of gate stack structures is on a first dielectric layer and separated from each other. Each of the gate stack structures includes a word line and a second dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer is on the sidewall of the gate stack structures. A pair of floating gates is between the gate stack structures. Each of the floating gates is on the third dielectric layer on the sidewall of the corresponding gate stack structure. The top surface of the floating gates is not higher than the that of the second dielectric layer. A fourth dielectric layer covers the first and third dielectric layers, and the floating gates. A control gate is on the fourth dielectric layer between the floating gates. A doped region is in the substrate beside the gate stack structures. An erase gate is above the control gate and the floating gates.
