Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a flash memory, and more particularly to a flash memory in which floating gates are located on both sides of a control gate. [Prior Art] In the modern information society, the massive circulation of information has become a part of everyday life. In order to facilitate the management of information, the memory device used to access information has also become the focus of the development of the industry. In particular, the flash memory has the advantages of low power consumption, high speed, readable and writable, non-volatile (non-v〇latile), no mechanical action, etc., and has occupied an important place in various memory devices. In general, the flash memory system is a non-volatile (n〇nv〇latile) memory, which has the characteristics of not being lost due to power supply interruption, and has repeated writing and can be erased by electricity. In recent years, it has been widely used in electronic products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, video players, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). However, the flash memory in the prior art avoids short-circuiting of internal contact plugs and peripheral structures such as word lines (w〇rd lines). Therefore, the contact interposer and the sub-line specific peripheral structure must be kept at an appropriate distance, which makes the area of the flash memory not fall. However, the current industry technology is not _ to the tiny 200840023 hair extension, so the area of small non-volatile suffixes is the focus of the development of flash memory technology at this stage, so it is important to touch the small forward memory _ surface _ Question. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a flash memory unit (4) to solve the above problems. The present invention provides a flash memory cell comprising an oxide layer (10) e on the substrate, a gate structure above the oxide layer, and an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer. Both sides of the gate structure. In the first embodiment, the floating gate is located on both sides of the interpole structure and borders the oxidized-nitrided-oxidized layer, and the sidewalls (ah (four) are located above the floating_pole, and the doped cage is located in the substrate on one side of the floating paste. The flash memory of the present invention has two floating poles on both sides of the control gate and the top of the control pole has a constant thickness dielectric layer, and the top of the floating pole has a side wall, and The outer side of the whole structure is covered by a dielectric layer of a dielectric layer. When the floating _ pole is fabricated in the present invention, the cover layer and the side wall can be self-aligned and etched into a solid material. Wmd〇W). When the contact hole is made, the layer Gm can be used as a residual stop layer. Since the conductive juice gate and the control electrode have a side wall and a cap layer respectively, A good dielectric effect can be achieved after the formation of a miscellaneous path. Since the distance between the contact plug and the gate structure in the flash memory of 200840023 is smaller than the prior art, the present invention can Effectively reduce the memory area. [Embodiment] Please refer to pictures 1 to 8, 1st to 8th - this is the hair Schematic diagram of the flash memory process. As shown in the figure!, a substrate is divided into a memory area and a peripheral area, and the substrate 200 has a plurality of doping wells (10), wherein the base layer can be - Shi Xi a substrate or a stellite insulating (10) c〇n 〇n insuiator substrate. First, a dielectric layer is sequentially formed over the substrate 200, for example, an oxide layer, a column, a polycrystalline layer, and a polycrystalline layer. A nitrogen nitride layer (not shown). Next, a lithography process is performed to etch a plurality of grooves in the active region Cong, αα) direction to form shallow trench isolation 212. An ion implantation process (imPlanting process) is performed to form a channel at the periphery of the groove to stop implanting (10) mail i_a_ 216. Thereafter, the dielectric layer is deposited on the nitrogen cut layer (not shown) and filled with the shallow trench isolation 212_slot, first performing a chemical mechanical polishing process (10) mechanical polishing process to remove the dielectric layer to expose the nitride layer ( Not shown), then, the nitride layer is removed, and a chemical mechanical polishing process is performed until the polycrystalline layer 21' to form shallow trench isolation 212. Next, a mask layer is deposited, such as a layer 214 over the polysilicon layer 210. Referring to Figure 2, the lithography process is performed to remove portions of the oxide layer 2U, the polycrystalline layer, the shallow trench isolation 212, and the oxide layer to form the opening 400.

Next, in the oxide layer (10), the electric layer, for example, the Rongsi si, Snei 7 lead to form polycrystalline stone, and a chemical mechanical polishing system, please refer to:::= The process steps of the butterfly 4 of the multi-B day county 进行 进行 刻 , , , , , 和 和 和 氧化 氧化 氧化 氧化 氧化 氧化 氧化 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 214 The edge layer, the material needs to have a better _ engraving ratio with the oxide layer W. The edge layer is subjected to a chemical mechanical polishing process to remove a portion of the first excellent, for example, the dry fine 3 first insulating layer 603 and then one The process of returning to the engraving process is continued until the cap layer is lower than that of the surrounding oxide layer 214 to form 200840023. As shown in FIG. 5, the oxide layer 214 is removed by a conventional technique such as a wet etching process. Then, a second insulating layer 605, such as a nitride layer, a oxynitride layer, etc., is deposited and subjected to a dry-process to form a sidewall spacer 6G4 surrounding the polysilicon layer 406 and located in the polysilicon layer. Above layer 21. > As shown in Fig. 6, using the side wall 6〇4 and the cover layer 6〇2 as side masks The self-aligned etch is removed to remove the polycrystalline stone that is not covered by the sidewalls 6〇4. As shown in Fig. 7, a third insulating layer is formed over the entire substrate 200, for example疋 nitride layer, oxynitride layer, etc. as the liner layer 6〇8, it should be noted that the material of the lining layer 608 needs to be formed with the dielectric layer 802 formed in the subsequent process - a preferred choice Etching ratio.

Please refer to Figure 8 to deposit a dielectric layer, such as boron phosphorus. A beryllium glass (BPSG) layer 802 is applied to the substrate 200 by a chemical mechanical polishing process to remove the borophosphorus glass layer 8〇2 over the liner layer 608. A dielectric layer, such as a tetraethoxy decane (TEOS) layer 804, is deposited over the substrate 200, followed by a polysilicon layer (not shown) over the tetraethoxysilane layer 804 for a lithographic process. And the polyethoxy layer above the tetraethoxythoracic layer 804 is used as a hard mask to carry out a remnant process on the tetraethoxydecane layer 804 to form a contact shallow trench.
