Abstract
A method of fabricating a flash memory and an isolating structure applied to a flash memory is provided. The feature of the method lies in a T-shaped shallow trench isolation (STI). The T-shaped STI has a widened cap covering on a substrate and a tapered bottom embedded in the substrate. The widened cap of the T-shaped STI can provide a high process widow when fabricating the floating gate wings, and the product yield will thereby be increased.
