Abstract:
A memory and a method for fabricating the memory are provided. The method includes forming a plurality of first gate structures on a base substrate. Each first gate structure includes a floating gate structure and a control gate structure. The control gate structure includes a body region and a top region. A size of the top region is smaller than a size of the body region along a direction perpendicular to a length direction of the control gate structure. A sidewall of the top region is connected to a sidewall of the body region. The method also includes forming a dielectric layer on the base substrate and covering the plurality of first gate structures, while simultaneously forming air gaps in the dielectric layer between the adjacent first gate structures. A top of each air gap is above or coplanar with a top surface of the control gate structure.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , before etching the etching region of the initial control gate structure, further including:\n forming a capping layer on the base substrate, wherein the capping layer exposes the etching region of the initial control gate structure, and a height of the exposed initial control gate structure is in a range of approximately 300 \u212b-500 \u212b; etching the etching region of the initial control gate structure by using the capping layer as a mask to form the control gate structure from the initial control gate structure; and removing the capping layer after etching the etching region of the initial control gate structure by using the capping layer as a mask.
