Full metal gate replacement process for NAND flash memory

A NAND flash memory chip is made by forming sacrificial control gate structures and sacrificial select structures, and subsequently replacing these sacrificial structures with metal. Filler structures are formed between sacrificial control gate structures and are subsequently removed to form air gap...

Zusammenfassung:A NAND flash memory chip is made by forming sacrificial control gate structures and sacrificial select structures, and subsequently replacing these sacrificial structures with metal. Filler structures are formed between sacrificial control gate structures and are subsequently removed to form air gaps between neighboring control gate lines and between floating gates.
