Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fabricating method of a semiconductor chip which includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided. The substrate defines a memory unit region and a peripheral logic region. Then, a first spacer is formed around a stack structure of the memory unit region. The first space includes a first silicon oxide layer and the first silicon oxide layer directly contacts with the stack structure. After that, a silicon nitride layer is formed on both the first spacer and the peripheral logic region. Finally, the additional silicon nitride layer on the first spacer is removed but portions of the additional silicon nitride layer around gate structures in the peripheral logic region are remained.
