A flash memory device and method of fabricating thereof. In accordance with the method of the invention, a tunnel dielectric layer and an amorphous first conductive layer are formed over a semiconductor substrate. An annealing process to change the amorphous first conductive layer to a crystallized first conductive layer is performed. A second conductive layer is formed on the crystallized first conductive layer. A first etch process to pattern the second conductive layer is performed. A second etch process to remove an oxide layer on the crystallized first conductive layer is performed. A third etch process to pattern the amorphous first conductive layer is performed.
