ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a flash memory device includes the steps of forming a nitride film on an entire surface of a trench by means of an annealing process to prevent implanted ions for adjusting a threshold voltage from diffusing to a device isolation region, and forming a side wall oxide film on a surface of the nitride film. The nitride film plays a role of preventing ions implanted into a substrate for adjusting a threshold voltage from flowing into the side wall oxidation film.
