Method of fabricating a memory structure
The present invention provides a method of fabricating a memory structure, especially forming an oxide on top of a spacer to prevent the spacer from being over-etched, the method comprising the steps of: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a charge trapping layer, a first conducting layer and a capping layer as a gate stack on the substrate; forming a first gate structure by patterning; a plurality of spacers are patterned and disposed adjacent to the sidewall of said gate stack; depositing a second conducting layer on the substrate to cover the first gate structure and the spacer; selectively etching the second conducting layer to expose the top of the spacer; performing an oxidation process to form an oxide on top of the spacer.
