ABSTRACT:
A method, for manufacturing a nonvolatile memory device, includes: forming a gate layer above which a stopper layer is disposed on a semiconductor layer; forming control gates on both side surfaces of the gate layer with an ONO film interposed therebetween; forming an insulating layer over the entire surface; polishing the insulating layer so that the stopper layer is exposed; removing the stopper layer and thereby exposing the top surface of the gate layer; forming a conductive layer above the gate layer and the insulating layer; etching the conductive layer and the gate layer and thereby forming a word line and a word gate and removing the gate layer remained under the etching.
