A portion of the mask layer 213 on the active region 205 and a portion of the substrate 200 are then removed to form an opening 208. At this time, part of the mask layer 213 above the isolation structure 210 is also removed. In one embodiment, the depth of the opening 2〇8 (the distance between the bottom of the opening 208 and the top surface of the substrate 200) is, for example, 2000 angstroms. Then, referring to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, a tunneling dielectric layer 218 is formed on the inner wall of the opening 208. The material of the tunneling dielectric layer 218 is, for example, 11 200818514 r -r - 21558 twf.doc / n 疋 疋 其 其 其 其 其 其 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南 南Quality. Next, a floating gate 220 is formed on the sidewall of the opening 208. The top of the floating gate 220 is lower than the top surface of the isolation structure 210 and higher than the top surface of the substrate 200. The top of the floating gate 220 has an angular structure, for example. . The floating gate 220 is formed by, for example, filling a layer of a conductor (not shown) in the opening 208. The top surface of the conductor layer has a recess and is lower (the top surface of the isolation structure 210 is higher than the top surface of the substrate 200). The material of the conductor layer is exemplified as a ruthenium-doped polysilicon, which is formed by, for example, chemical vapor deposition using a field implant dopant. Then a spacer 223 is formed on the sidewall of the opening 208. With the spacer 223 as a mask, a part of the conductor layer is removed, that is, the floating gate 22 is formed. The method of removing a part of the conductor layer includes a dry engraving method. Since the top surface of the conductor layer is lower than the isolation structure 215, The subsequently formed floating gate 220 can be formed by the separation of the isolation structure 215 to form the block-shaped floating gate 220 without forming through lithography. I then 'see FIG. 2B' on the substrate 200. An interlayer dielectric layer 228 is formed thereon to cover the floating gate 220. The material of the interlayer dielectric layer 228 is, for example, oxidized oxide, which is formed by, for example, high-temperature thermal oxidation deposition followed by rapid thermal tempering. . The interlayer dielectric layer 228 may also be a composite dielectric layer formed of a plurality of dielectric materials, such as yttrium oxide-nitriding seconds-oxidized oxide. Then, a source region 235 is formed in the substrate 200 at the bottom of the opening 208. The source region 235 is, for example, a doped region having an N-type dopant such as phosphorus or arsenic, and the germanium 12 2 558 twf.doc/n 200818514 is, for example, an ion implantation method. Thereafter, the interlayer dielectric at the bottom of the opening 208 is removed. The layer 228 and the tunnel dielectric layer 218 expose the substrate 200 at the bottom of the opening 208. The method of removing the interlayer dielectric layer 228 and tunneling the dielectric layer 218 is, for example, a wet-drying method, which is, for example, hydrofluoric. The acid is a rhyme. Then, a source line 240 is formed in the opening 208, the source line 240 is horizontal, and the isolation structure 210 extends in the γ direction. The material of the source line 24 is, for example, doped polysilicon, metal, metal deuteration. A conductive material such as a material is formed by a chemical vapor deposition method, and then a protective layer 245 is formed on the source line 24'. The protective layer 245 is made of a dielectric material such as oxidized oxidized stone, and the forming method is, for example, gas discrimination. Phase deposition or silking. After that, remove the cover The curtain layer 213 exposes the substrate 2 (10) of the isolation structure 21A and the active region 2〇5. Of course, if the germanium layer 211 is formed on the substrate 200, the entire layer 211 is exposed. Next, please refer to FIG. 2C for the removal source. A portion of the isolation structure 210' outside the polar line forms a recess 217 in the isolation structure 21, and the bottom of the recess 217 is approximately equal to or higher than the top surface of the substrate 2. In an embodiment, the bottom of the recess 217 is, for example, high. The top surface of the substrate 2 is about 2 Å to Å. The method of removing the partial isolation structure 200 to form the recess 217 is, for example, forming a layer patterned photoresist on the substrate 200, and exposing the source. A portion of the isolation structure 21 两 on both outer sides of the line 240. Then, the depressed portion 217 is formed by patterning the layer and the screen' by removing the partial spacer 210' by dry etching. The patterned photoresist layer is then removed. Next, referring to Fig. 2D, the base of the source line 24 is on the upper side and the upper surface is i Γ. The word line 250 is approximately parallel to the source line 240 and extends across the isolation structure 2H)', particularly across the isolation structure of the isolation structure = 200818514 21558twf.doc/n portion 217. The word line 250 is formed by, for example, forming a conductor layer (not shown) on the substrate 2 to cover the protective layer 245 and the isolation structure 210. Then, the conductor layer on the protective layer 245 is removed. Then, an insulating spacer 253 is formed on the sidewall of the source line 240, and the insulating spacer 253 is used as a mask to remove the exposed conductor layer to form the word line 250.

由於源極線240外側之隔離結構21〇已經被移除了一 部份,凹陷部217與基底200之間的高度落差縮小,因此, 在形成字元線250的過程中,能夠改善蝕刻速率不均的問 題,進而得以提高字元線250的均勻度。即使是在記憶胞 陣列周邊的字元線250,其與陣列中央的字元線25〇相比, 兩者線寬相差小於2%。字元線250的均勻度提高,連帶 地會增加元件的電性表現。 此外,因為源極線240外側之隔離結構21〇的高度降 低,所以,在蝕刻導體層形成字元線250之時,不會二隔 離結構21G的側壁留下導體層的殘留物,而免除相i字元 線25^產生短路的機會,有助於提昇產品的良率。Since the isolation structure 21〇 on the outer side of the source line 240 has been removed, the height difference between the recess 217 and the substrate 200 is reduced, so that the etching rate can be improved during the formation of the word line 250. The problem of uniformity, in turn, improves the uniformity of the word line 250. Even in the word line 250 around the memory cell array, the line width differs by less than 2% from the word line 25A in the center of the array. The uniformity of the word line 250 is increased, which in turn increases the electrical performance of the component. In addition, since the height of the isolation structure 21A outside the source line 240 is lowered, when the word line 250 is formed by etching the conductor layer, the sidewall of the second isolation structure 21G does not leave a residue of the conductor layer, and the phase is eliminated. The i-character line 25^ has the opportunity to create a short circuit, which helps to improve the yield of the product.
