Memory Devices and Method of Forming Same |
摘要 |
A method comprises forming a memory gate structure adjacent to a control gate structure over a substrate, wherein a charge storage layer is between the memory gate structure and the control gate structure and a top surface of the memory gate structure is covered by a gate mask layer, forming a first spacer along sidewalls of the memory gate structure and the gate mask layer, wherein a sidewall of the memory gate structure is fully covered by the first spacer, applying an etching process to the charge storage layer to form an L-shaped charge storage layer and forming a first drain/source region adjacent to the memory gate structure and a second drain/source region adjacent to the control gate structure. |

1. A method comprising:
forming a memory gate structure adjacent to a control gate structure over a substrate, wherein a charge storage layer is between the memory gate structure and the control gate structure and a top surface of the memory gate structure is covered by a gate mask layer; forming a first spacer along sidewalls of the memory gate structure and the gate mask layer, wherein a sidewall of the memory gate structure is fully covered by the first spacer; applying an etching process to the charge storage layer to form an L-shaped charge storage layer; and forming a first drain/source region adjacent to the memory gate structure and a second drain/source region adjacent to the control gate structure. |
