Patent ID: 7381617

Claim:
A method of fabricating flash memory devices, comprising the steps of: forming a first interlayer insulation film on a semiconductor substrate in which gate and source/drain junctions are formed, and forming a source contact electrically connected to the source junction through the first interlayer insulation film; forming a second interlayer insulation film on the first interlayer insulation film and forming a drain contact electrically connected to the drain junction through the second and first interlayer insulation films; laminating a stop nitride film and an oxide film on an entire surface including the second interlayer insulation film; forming trenches through the stop nitride film and the oxide film to expose the drain contact and the second interlayer insulation film on the source contact; forming barrier oxide films on lateral faces of the trenches by an atomic layer deposition method; forming a contact hole through the second interlayer insulation film below the trenches to expose the source contact; performing a cleaning process; and burying the trenches and the contact hole with a metal film and forming bit lines connected to the drain contact and forming source lines connected to the source contact.
