Abstract
A method of manufacturing a flash memory device comprises forming a gate insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming silicon seed crystals on a surface of the gate insulating layer by reacting a nitrogen or oxygen atmosphere gas and a silicon source gas, forming a first layer for a floating gate over the gate insulating layer and the silicon seed crystals by increasing an amount of the silicon source gas, and forming a second layer for a floating gate on the first layer for a floating gate.
