Abstract

The invention brings forward a manufacture method of a control gate. After the control gate is formed and before a floating gate layer is etched, preprocessing is performed on the control gate firstly, and then a dielectric layer, the floating gate layer and the gate medium layer are etched. Since the preprocessing is performed on the control gate, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the control gate for protecting the control gate so as to prevent damage caused to the surface of the control gate by etching, and the yield rate of a semiconductor wafer is improved.
