Abstract

A method is provided for manufacturing a MONOS type non-volatile memory device. The method comprises the following steps: a step of pattering a stopper layer and a first conductive layer; a step of forming an ONO film composed of a first silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer and a second silicon oxide layer above a semiconductor substrate and on both sides of the first conductive layer; a step of forming a second conductive layer above the ONO film 220; a step of anisotropically etching the second conductive layer, and then isotropically etching the same, thereby forming control gates in the form of sidewalls through the ONO films on both side surfaces of the first conductive layer; and a step of patterning the first conductive layer to form a word gate.
