An EEPROM includes a device isolation layer for defining a plurality of
active regions, a pair of control gates extending across the active
regions and a pair of selection gates patterns that extend across the
active regions and are interposed between the control gate patterns. A
floating gate pattern is formed on intersection regions where the control
gate patterns extend across the active regions. A lower gate pattern is
formed on intersection regions where the selection gate patterns extend
across the active regions. An inter-gate dielectric pattern is disposed
between the control gate pattern and the floating gate pattern and a
dummy dielectric pattern is disposed between the selection gate pattern
and the lower gate pattern. The dummy dielectric pattern is substantially
parallel to the selection gate pattern, and self-aligned with one
sidewall of the selection gate pattern to overlap a predetermine width of
the selection gate pattern.
