Abstract

The present disclosure provides a stack capacitor, a flash memory device, and a manufacturing method thereof. The stack capacitor of the flash memory device has a a memory transistor structure which at least comprises a substrate, and a tunneling oxide layer, a floating gate layer, an interlayer dielectric layer and a control gate layer which are sequentially stacked on the substrate, the interlayer dielectric layer of the stack capacitor comprises a first oxide layer and a nitride layer; the stack capacitor further comprises a first contact leading out of the control gate layer and a second contact leading out of the floating gate layer. The capacitance per unit area of the stack capacitor provided by the disclosure is effectively improved, and the size of the transistor device is reduced. The manufacturing method according to the disclosure does not add any additional photomask than a conventional process flow.
