Abstract

See full text

A NOR flash memory and its manufacturing method are provided in the present disclosure, they are in the field of flash memory. In the manufacturing method, a mask dielectric layer is formed on a second polysilicon layer of a gate stack structure. In addition, part of the mask dielectric layer is etched patternedly to expose part of the second polysilicon layer which is close to a source. Furthermore, the exposed second polysilicon layer is self aligned to form a metal silicide layer. Thus in the NOR flash memory, an unetched mask dielectric layer is substantially located between a metal silicide layer and a drain contacting hole of the NOR flash memory. A drain current between the gate electrode and the drain electrode is small, the above manufacturing method is not complex, a process window is large, a side effect is small, which are advantageous to large scale production.
