Method of fabricating a flash memory
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a memory gate and a hard mask layer on the memory gate, forming a select gate on a sidewall of the memory gate and the hard mask layer, performing a selective oxidation process to form an oxide layer on the hard mask layer and the select gate, wherein a portion of the oxide layer on the select gate is thicker than a portion of the oxide layer on the hard mask layer, and removing the oxide layer on the hard mask layer and the hard mask layer to expose a top surface of the memory gate.
