SONOS Memory and Method for Making the Same

Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a SONOS memory, including: providing a substrate, wherein a selective transistor gate and a storage transistor gate are formed on the substrate of a storage area; forming a silicon epitaxial layer on the upper surface of the substrate of the storage area on both sides of the selective transistor gate and on both sides of the storage transistor gate, wherein the silicon epitaxial layer is used to separately form a source and a drain of a selective transistor and a storage transistor; and forming a metal salicide layer on an upper portion of the silicon epitaxial layer. The present application further provides the SONOS memory. The present application can improve the yield of the formed SONOS memory and effectively improve the device performance of the formed SONOS memory, and the device performance of the formed SONOS memory can be effectively improved.
