Non-volatile semiconductor memory devices with dual control gate memory
cells and methods of forming the same using integrated peripheral
circuitry formation are provided. Strips of charge storage material
elongated in a row direction across the surface of a substrate with
strips of tunnel dielectric material therebetween are formed. Forming the
strips defines the dimension of the resulting charge storage structures
in the column direction. The strips of charge storage material can
include multiple layers of charge storage material to form composite
charge storage structures in one embodiment. Strips of control gate
material are formed between strips of charge storage material adjacent in
the column direction. The strips of charge storage and control gate
material are divided along their lengths in the row direction as part of
forming isolation trenches and columns of active areas. After dividing
the strips, the charge storage material at the peripheral circuitry
region of the substrate is etched to define a gate dimension in the
column direction for a peripheral transistor. Control gate interconnects
can be formed to connect together rows of isolated control gates to
extrinsically form word lines.
