METHOD OF MAKING A NON-VOLATILE MEMORY (NVM) CELL STRUCTURE |
摘要 |
A non-volatile memory device includes a substrate and a charge storage layer. The charge storage layer comprises a bottom layer of oxide, a layer of discrete charge storage elements on the bottom layer of oxide, and a top layer of oxide on the charge storage elements. A control gate is on the top layer of oxide. A surface of the top layer of oxide facing a surface of the control gate is substantially planar. |

1. A non-volatile memory device comprising:
a substrate; a charge storage layer comprising: a bottom layer of oxide; a layer of discrete charge storage elements on the bottom layer of oxide; a top layer of oxide on the discrete charge storage elements; and a control gate on the top layer of oxide, wherein a surface of the top layer of oxide facing a surface of the control gate is substantially planar, and wherein a radius of curvature of the top layer of oxide over a majority of the discrete charge storage elements is at least twice a sum of a radius of the discrete charge storage element plus a thickness of the top layer of oxide. |
