ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ-ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) DEVICE AND METHODS OF FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

An EEPROM device includes a device isolation layer disposed at a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate to define active regions, a pair of control gates crossing the device isolation layers and an active region, a pair of selection gates interposed between the control gates to cross the device isolation layers and the active region and a floating gate and an intergate dielectric pattern stacked sequentially between the control gates and the active region The EEPROM device further includes a gate insulation layer of a memory transistor interposed between the floating gate and the active region and a tunnel insulation layer thinner than the gate insulation layer of the memory transistor and a gate insulation layer of a selection transistor interposed between the selection gates and the active region. The tunnel insulation layer is aligned at one side adjacent to the floating gate.
