Abstract

A memory structure formed between two doping regions in a semiconductor substrate includes two conductive blocks functioning as floating gates formed at two sides of a first conductive line functioning as a select gat and insulated from the first conductive line with two first dielectric spacers therebetween, wherein the two conductive blocks each have a raised top and raised parts of sides relative to the top of the first conductive line. A first dielectric layer is formed on the tops and the parts of the sides of the two conductive blocks. A second conductive line functioning as a word line is formed on the first dielectric layer, wherein the second conductive line has a part deposited between the two conductive blocks and is substantially perpendicular to the first conductive line and two doping region functioning as bit lines.
