A flash memory cell including a p-type substrate, an n-type deep well, a
stacked gate structure, a source region, a drain region, a p-type pocket
doped region, spacers, a p-type doped region and a contact plug is
provided. The n-type deep well is set up within the p-type substrate and
the stacked gate structure is set up over the p-type substrate. The
stacked gate structure further includes a tunneling oxide layer, a
floating gate, an inter-gate dielectric layer, a control gate and a cap
layer sequentially formed over the p-type substrate. The source region
and the drain region are set up in the p-type substrate on each side of
the stacked gate structure. The p-type pocket doped region is set up
within the n-type deep well region and extends from the drain region to
an area underneath the stacked gate structure adjacent to the source
region. The spacers are attached to the sidewalls of the stacked gate
structure. The p-type doped region is set up within the drain region. The
p-type doped region passes through the junction between the drain region
and the p-type pocket doped region but is separated from the spacer by a
distance. The contact plug is set up over the drain region and is
electrically connected to the p-type doped region.
