ABSTRACT:
A dielectric layer over a substrate is covered with a gate conductor mask and an organic polymer lining layer formed on the device narrows the mask opening to create a gate conductor molding trench by MERIE etching through the opening and dielectric down to the substrate. Then a gate oxide layer is formed. A conformal floating gate conductor is deposited over the device and down into the trench, narrowing the trench. A thin interelectrode dielectric layer covers the floating gate and further narrows the trench. A control gate layer covers the device and fills the trench. The floating gate, the interelectrode dielectric, and the control gate conductor are planarized down to the dielectric, which is stripped away. Then self-aligned source/drain regions are formed in the substrate. Semiconductor memory gate conductor stacks have increased surface area for improving the coupling ratio.
