Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of forming a flash memory device, which is capable of forming floating gates. According to a method of forming a flash memory device in accordance with the present invention, isolation mask patterns are first formed over a semiconductor substrate. Trenches are formed by performing an etching process using the isolation mask patterns. Isolation layers are formed between the isolation mask patterns, including the insides of the respective trenches. The isolation mask patterns are removed. Tunnel dielectric layers and crystallized first conductive layers are sequentially formed over the exposed semiconductor substrate. A dielectric layer and a second conductive layer are formed over the isolation layers and the first conductive layers.
