ABSTRACT:
The method of the present invention includes patterning a gate structure. Then, a polyoxide layer is formed on side walls of the gate structure. Then, silicon nitride side wall spacers are formed on the side walls of the gate structure. Then, source/drain structure of the device is fabricated. Next, the side wall spacers are removed to expose a portion of the source and drain. Then, an undoped amorphous silicon layer is formed on the surface of the gate structure, the oxide layer and the exposed source and drain. A dry oxidation process is used to convert the amorphous silicon layer into textured tunnel oxide at the interface of the substrate and the oxide. The oxide is then removed, and a further oxide is re-deposited on the gate and substrate. Polysilicon side wall spacers are then formed. A further polysilicon layer is subsequently deposited over the gate. Then, the polysilicon layer is patterned to define the floating gate. A dielectric is formed at the top of the floating gate. A conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer as the control gate.
