Abstract

The present application provides a method for manufacturing a memory device having a word line (WL) with dual conductive materials. The method includes steps of providing a semiconductor substrate with an active area defined adjacent to a surface of the semiconductor substrate; forming a recess extending from the surface into the semiconductor substrate; disposing a first insulating layer conformal to the recess; disposing a first conductive material within the recess and surrounded by the first insulating layer; removing a portion of the first conductive material to form a first conductive member; disposing a second insulating layer within the recess and conformal to the first insulating layer and the first conductive member; and disposing a second conductive material within the recess and surrounded by the second insulating layer to form a second conductive member adjacent to the first conductive member.
