ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of forming a floating gate electrode of a flash memory device. According to the present invention, the method includes the steps of forming a first silicon film for floating gate electrode and a pad nitride film on a semiconductor substrate, and patterning the pad nitride film, the first silicon film and a predetermined region of the semiconductor substrate to define trenches, forming buried insulation films in the defined trenches, and then performing a polishing process until the pad nitride film is exposed, thereby completing a process of forming isolation films, removing the patterned pad nitride film, and forming second silicon films for floating gate electrodes in the regions from which the pad nitride films are removed, and forming patterns for forming cylinder-shaped floating gate electrodes on the second silicon films, and performing an etch process on the second silicon films using the patterns as etch masks to form the cylinder-shaped floating gate electrode patterns on the first silicon films for floating gate electrodes.
