Abstract

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a flash memory device. In order to solve the problems that expensive photograph equipments are required and the manufacturing costs are thus increased when defining a floating gate and a control gate in a flash memory cell used in a high-integration flash memory device, the present invention performs an etching process for defining a floating gate with an-isotropic etching process. Therefore, it can minimize the areas of a cell and thus obtain a high-integration device.
