Description of invention (6) Etching A trench 112 is formed in the substrate 100. The trench 112 is defined as a recessed portion of the substrate 100. The trench 1 丄 2_B is used as a shallow trench structure. The formation of the ditch 112 can be made by its size, so it can break through the limitations of the lithography process in order to be effective without affecting the effect of electrical isolation -----------1- Shallow trench isolation structures to be formed in the trenches 112 reduce the planar area of the substrate 100. A liner oxide layer 114 is formed on the surface of the substrate 100 that continues from the trench 112 and is connected to the top of the trench 112 with the liner oxide layer 108.

Description of the invention (e.g., by performing a nitriding reaction (Nitradauon) in a small amount of oxygen, and the nitriding reaction only occurs in the doped region 118) On the surface of the substrate 100, the erbium-filled material layer 126 is used to protect the doped region 118 as a drain and the sidewall of the substrate 100 below it. Next, referring to FIG. 1F, the infill material layer 126 is stripped to expose the doped region 118 as a drain and the sidewall of the substrate 100 below it, and then a through oxide layer is formed on the surface of the exposed substrate 100. 130, and extends to contact the lining oxide layer 114 at the top of the insulating layer 116a, wherein the formation method of the tunneling oxide layer Π0 is, for example, a thermal oxidation method. Continued from the side wall of the substrate 100 between the doped region 120 as the source and the doped region 118 as the drain, a conductive spacer Π2 is formed. The material is, for example, doped polycrystalline silicon, and the conductive spacer 132 is formed. The method is, for example, forming a layer of conformally doped polycrystalline silicon on the substrate 100, and then performing an anisotropic etching process, and using the termination layer 128 as a uranium etching termination layer to form the conductive spacer 132. The conductive spacer 132 will be used as a floating memory for the flash memory in the future. After that, a dielectric layer 134 is formed on the surface of the conductive spacer wall 132. The dielectric layer 134 is, for example, an oxide layer formed by a thermal oxidation method, or a structure of silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon oxide. Finally, a conductive material is inserted into the opening 106. The material is, for example, doped polycrystalline silicon. The method is to cover the substrate 100 with a conductive layer, and then perform an etch-back process to form a conductive layer 136 so that adjacent openings are formed. The conductive layer 136 between 106 is in a discontinuous state. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a top view of FIG. 1F.
