 Image Number 17 for United States Patent #8129242.
A method of manufacturing a flash memory device having an enhanced gate coupling ratio includes steps of forming a first semiconductor layer on a substrate and forming a semiconductor spacer layer on top of the first semiconductor layer. The semiconductor spacer layer includes a plurality of recesses. The method provides a semiconductor spacer structure which functions to increase the contact area between a floating gate and a control gate of the flash memory device.
