Memory device with reduced cell size

摘要

A method for manufacturing a memory device includes forming an oxide layer adjacent a substrate. A floating gate layer is formed and disposed outwardly from the oxide layer. A dielectric layer is formed, such that it is disposed outwardly from the floating gate layer. Then, a conductive material layer is formed and disposed outwardly from the dielectric layer, wherein the conductive material layer forms a control gate that is substantially isolated from the floating gate layer by the dielectric layer.
