Abstract
A method of forming a self-aligned non-volatile device, includes, in part: forming trench isolation regions, forming a well between the trench isolation, forming a second well above the first well, forming a first oxide layer above a first portion of the second well, forming a first dielectric, a first polysilicon gate, and a second dielectric layer, respectively, above the first polysilicon layer, forming a first spacer above the body region and adjacent the first polysilicon layer, forming a second oxide layer above a second portion of the second well not covered by the first spacer, forming a second polysilicon gate layer above the second oxide layer, the first spacer and a portion of the second dielectric layer, removing the second polysilicon layer and the layers below it that are exposed in a via formed using a mask, thereby forming self-aligned source/drain regions.
