  • Publication number: 20150340427
    Abstract: A capacitor structure including at least one capacitor unit is provided. The capacitor unit includes a dielectric layer, an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer. The inner metal layer is disposed in the dielectric layer. The outer metal layer is disposed in the dielectric layer and surrounds the inner metal layer. The outer metal layer includes a first metal layer, two second metal layers and a third metal layer. The first metal layer is disposed under the inner metal layer. The second metal layers are disposed at two sides of the inner metal layer, and lower surfaces of the second metal layers are located equal to or below a lower surface of the inner metal layer. The third metal layer is disposed over the inner metal layer and connects to the second metal layers.

  • Patent number: 8741754
    Abstract: A fabricating method of a non-volatile memory is provided. A tunneling dielectric layer and a first conductive layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. Isolation structures are formed in the first conductive layer, the tunneling dielectric layer and the substrate. The first conductive layer is patterned to form protruding portions. A portion of the isolation structures is removed, so that a top surface of each isolation structure is disposed between a top surface of the first conductive layer and a surface of the substrate. An inter-gate dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. A second conductive layer is formed on the inter-gate dielectric layer. The second conductive layer is patterned to form control gates, and the first conductive layer is patterned to form floating gates. The protruding portion of each floating gate is fully covered and surrounded by the control gate in any direction.

  • Patent number: 8502297
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory having a tunneling dielectric layer, a floating gate, a control gate, an inter-gate dielectric layer and a first doping region and a second doping region is provided. The tunneling dielectric layer is disposed on a substrate. The floating gate is disposed on the tunneling dielectric layer, and has a protruding portion. The control gate is disposed over the floating gate to cover and surround the protruding portion. The protruding portion of the floating gate is fully covered and surrounded by the control gate in any direction, including extending directions of bit lines, word lines and an included angle formed between the word line and the bit line. The inter-gate dielectric layer is disposed between the floating gate and the control gate. The first doping region and the second doping region are respectively disposed in the substrate at two sides of the control gate.
