Manufacturing method of nonvolatile memory
Abstract
A manufacturing method for a non-volatile memory includes first providing a substrate with a gate structure formed thereon. The gate structure includes a first gate and a gate dielectric layer located between the first gate and the substrate. A first doping and a second doping region are formed on the substrate at two sides of the gate, respectively. A first insulating layer is formed on the substrate, and a portion of the first insulating layer and a portion of the substrate are removed to form a trench, which divides the second doping region into a third doping region and a fourth doping region. Finally, a tunneling dielectric layer, a charge-trapping layer and a top dielectric layer are formed inside the trench, and a second gate which fills the trench is formed on the substrate.
