Step 3 deposits two layers of silicon oxide dielectric layer and then etches, and forms offset oxide layer;
Step 4 continues to etch down in open window, by coating, floating gate polysilicon layer and the grid oxygen in window Change layer to etch away, exposes substrate surface;
Step 5 deposits layer of oxide layer, and etching forms third oxide side wall, and the third oxide side wall is attached to It deviates in oxide layer, the third oxide side wall of the bottom in window is also etched, and exposes substrate surface;
Step 6 deposits one layer of tunnel oxide, and carries out thermal annealing;Tunnel oxide is covered on third oxide side wall On silicon substrate in upper and window;
Open window remaining space is full of by step 7, depositing polysilicon, return carve polysilicon only retain it is more in window Crystal silicon;Injection is doped to the polysilicon in window, forms wordline polysilicon;
Step 8 forms floating gate, control gate, makes side wall;Progress LDD, which injects to be formed, after side wall is formed is lightly doped drift Then area carries out source and drain injection, then carries out thermal anneal process, form device.
Further, the step 1, gate oxide are formed with thermal oxidation method.
Further, the step 2, window are that etching opens silicon nitride layer, and bottom-exposed goes out to control gate polysilicon layer;Oxygen Change after layer deposit is completed and carry out dry etching, removes the oxide layer in bottom of window and silicon nitride surface, only retain window side The oxide layer of wall forms side wall.
Further, the thickness of the window sidewall oxide, for defining the length of control gate, the i.e. length of control gate It is adjusted by the thickness of sidewall oxide.
Further, in the step 3, by depositing two layers of silicon oxide dielectric layer, total thickness of formation is for controlling Difference in length between subsequent floating gate and control gate, i.e. lower layer's floating gate exceed the length of top level control grid.
Memory of the present invention is programmed using the method for source injection, by tunnel oxide and partially It moves between oxide layer, increases one layer of third oxide side wall dielectric layer, increase the weak length for opening channel, i.e. wordline polycrystalline The distance between silicon and floating gate further increase the degree of weak unlatching, the peak value electric field of source when enhancing programming, improve programming Efficiency.Process of the present invention, simple process are easy to implement.
