Abstract

A preparing method of nonvolatile memory is disclosed. Firstly, providing a basis with several separation configurations which extrude the surface of basis, the first mask layer is formed on basis between separation configurations. The second mask layer is formed on the basis. Then, the second mask layer and the first mask layer are patterned to form several openings; these openings expose part of the basis and surface of the separation configurations. Then forming the tubular floating grid which through the dielectric layer and possesses hollows, said tubular floating grid is at the position that adjacent separation configurations and the first mask layer encircle. Then the grip gap dielectric layer is formed on the basis. Then control gate electrode is formed on the basis to fill the opening.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor element, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a nonvolatile memory. Background technique

[0002] Non-volatile memory elements have become widely used in personal computers and electronic devices because they can store, read, and erase data multiple times, and the stored data will not disappear after power off. A memory element used.

[0003] A typical non-volatile memory device is generally designed to have a stacked-gate structure, which includes a floating gate (Floating Gate) and a control gate (Control Gate) made of doped polysilicon. The floating gate is located between the control gate and the substrate, and is in a floating state, not connected to any circuit, while the control gate is connected to the word line (Word Line), and also includes the tunnel oxide layer (Tunneling Oxide) and an inter-gate dielectric layer (Inter-Gate Dielectric Layer) are located between the substrate and...
