Abstract

A stacked-gate cell structure having a tapered floating-gate layer and a laterally graded source/drain diffusion profile is implemented to form NAND cell strings over a self-aligned STI structure having a high coupling ratio. The paired string select lines and the paired ground select lines being formed over one-side tapered floating-gate layers are simultaneously defined by a spacer formation technique and are therefore scalable. Each of common-source conductive bus lines is formed over a first flat bed between a pair of sidewall dielectric spacers being formed over sidewalls of the paired ground select lines. A plurality of planarized conductive islands are formed over common-drain diffusion regions between another pair of sidewall dielectric spacers being formed over sidewalls of the paired string select lines and are patterned simultaneously with a plurality of metal bit-lines by using a masking photoresist step.
