Abstract: The invention provides a flash memory device and a method for fabricating thereof. The device comprises a gate stack layer of a gate dielectric layer and a gate polysilicon layer formed on a substrate, a stack layer comprising a floating polysilicon layer and gate spacer formed on the sidewall of the gate stack layer. A metal layer is formed on the gate stack layer and is utilized in place of a portion of the gate polysilicon layer. Because the metal layer has relatively high conductivity and is electrically connected to a metal plug later formed, current velocity of the device is increased to improve performance.
