Abstract: The memory cell of the present invention has two independent storage regions embedded into two opposite sidewalls of the control gate respectively. In this way, the data storage can be more reliable. Other features of the present invention are that the thickness of the dielectric layers is different, and the two independent storage regions are formed on opposite bottom sides of the opening by the etching process and form a shape like a spacer. The advantage of the aforementioned method is that the fabricating process is simplified and the difficulty of self-alignment is reduced.

Abstract: A process for forming shallow trench isolation region with corner protection layer. A protection layer is formed within the opening that defines the isolation trench as part of the etching mask such that the etching rate of the protection layer is less than the mask layer and the pad insulating layer to the etchant used to remove the mask layer and pad insulating layer. The protection layer is partially removed and left adjacent to the shallow trench isolation region as a corner protection layer after removing the mask layer and pad insulating layer. Thus, the indentation next to the corner of the isolation region is avoided.
