Since the dielectric layer 112 has a small thickness, the thickness of the conductive layer 501 is naturally low, which is beneficial to reducing the resistance of the conductive layer 501 and reducing the power consumption when a source voltage is applied to the common source doped region 141. When the conductive layer 501 is made of metal materials such as tungsten, stress on the storage substrate is low due to the low thickness of the conductive layer 501, and the structure of the memory can be prevented from being changed due to the stress, so that the reliability of the memory can be improved. And because the conductive layer 501 is formed after the front structure of the whole memory is formed, the stress generated by the conductive layer 501 can be adjusted by performing thin film deposition on the back surface of the substrate.
Further, the conductive layer 501 is formed on the back surface of the substrate 113 as a common source contact portion, and is located on both sides of the substrate 113 with the storage stacked structure, so that the isolation performance between the control gate layer 122 in the storage stacked structure and the conductive layer 501 is improved, and the problem of electric leakage between the control gate layer 122 and the common source contact portion is avoided.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
