Abstract
Embodiments relate to a flash memory device and a method of manufacturing the same that may include a tunnel oxide layer on and/or over a semiconductor substrate having source and drain regions. The tunnel oxide layer may have a first width. The flash memory device may include a first polysilicon pattern and a second polysilicon pattern on and/or over the tunnel oxide layer and a dielectric pattern on and/or over the tunnel oxide layer, where the first and second polysilicon patterns may be provided. It may also include a third polysilicon pattern on and/or over the dielectric pattern, the third polysilicon pattern having a second width, and a spacer formed on and/or over sidewalls of the first, second and third polysilicon patterns, the dielectric pattern and the tunnel oxide pattern. According to embodiments, the second width may be greater than the first width.
