A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of gate lines composed of line shapes to function as gate electrodes in a plurality of transistors and separated from a substrate by a gate insulating layer, each having an upper metal silicide layer; and a plurality of source/drain regions formed on the substrate between said gate lines solely by carrying out impurity implantation processes.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same including forming metal silicide gate lines and source lines

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A non-volatile memory cell array having second floating gates with a narrow width, a large height, and slanted side walls. Critical dimension errors due to photolithographic and etching processes are decreased. The difference in the coupling ratio between the memory cells is low thereby improving speed during programming and/or erasing. A second floating gate having a narrower critical dimension than a second floating gate obtained using a photolithographic process may be designed, thereby forming a highly integrated non-volatile memory cell array.

Highly integrated non-volatile memory cell array having a high program speed

Provided are a non-volatile flash memory device and a method of making the non-volatile flash memory device. A common source line is formed simultaneously with the formation of stacked transistors. The common source line is formed of the same material layer as floating gate pattern. The common source region and a scribe line region are simultaneously formed thorough the same photolithography process in a semiconductor substrate. Additionally, the common source line and butted contact are patterned simultaneously through the same photolithography process. Accordingly, the common source line process can be advantageously completed with very low cost and simplicity.
