Abstract
A non-volatile memory is described, which includes gate structures, doped regions, second spacers and contact plugs. The gate structures are disposed on the substrate, each of which includes a control gate and a gate dielectric layer. The control gates are disposed on the substrate, and two first spacers are deployed at both sides of each control gate. The gate dielectric layers are disposed between the control gates and the substrate, respectively. Each of the doped regions is formed in the substrate between two adjacent gate structures. The second spacers are disposed on the sidewalls of the gate structures. The contact plugs are formed between two adjacent second spacers, respectively.
