Abstract
In a manufacturing method of a non-volatile memory, a substrate is provided, and strip-shaped isolation structures are formed in the substrate. A first memory array including memory cell columns is formed on the substrate. Each memory cell column includes memory cells connected in series with one another, a source/drain region disposed in the substrate outside the memory cells, select transistors disposed between the source/drain region and the memory cells, control gate lines extending across the memory cell columns and in a second direction, and first select gate lines respectively connecting the select transistors in the second direction in series. First contacts are formed on the substrate at a side of the first memory array and arranged along the second direction. Each first contact connects the source/drain regions in every two adjacent active regions.
