Abstract

In methods of manufacturing a memory device, a tunnel insulation layer is formed on a substrate. A floating gate having a substantially uniform thickness is formed on the tunnel insulation layer. A dielectric layer is formed on the floating gate. A control gate is formed on the dielectric layer. A flash memory device including the floating gate may have more uniform operating characteristics.
