Abstract
A method of manufacturing a V-shaped flash memory. The V-shaped stack gate is formed by implanting ions into a substrate to form a buried source line using a mask, and then forming a V-shaped trench that exposes the buried source line in the substrate. A V-shaped word line stack gate is next formed over the trench and the substrate next to the trench. A common drain terminal is formed in the substrate on each side of the V-shaped stack gate. The drain terminal is electrically connected to a bit line by forming a contact plug.
