Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a memory region and a logic region. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate. A first conductive structure and a second conductive structure are respectively formed in the first dielectric layer on the memory region and the logic region. A memory cell is formed on the first dielectric layer and directly contacts a top surface of the first conductive structure. A first cap layer continuously covers a top surface and a sidewall of the memory cell and directly contacts a top surface of the second conductive structure. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first cap layer. A third conductive structure penetrates through the second dielectric layer and the first cap layer to contact the memory cell.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory gate disposed on a main surface of a substrate. The memory has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. A control gate is in proximity to the memory gate. The control gate has a third sidewall directly facing the second sidewall, and a fourth sidewall opposite to the third sidewall. A gap is provided between the second sidewall of the memory gate and the third sidewall of the control gate. A first single spacer structure is disposed on the first sidewall of the memory gate. A second single spacer structure is disposed on the fourth sidewall of the control gate. A gap-filling layer is deposited into the gap and fills up the gap.
