Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a memory device including following steps is provided. A first dielectric layer and a first conductive layer are formed in order on the substrate. A first opening and a second opening on the first opening are formed in the substrate, the first dielectric layer and the first conductive layer. An isolation structure is formed in the first opening. A second dielectric layer is formed on the substrate to conformally cover a top surface of the first conductive layer and a surface of the second opening. A heat treatment is performed on the second dielectric layer to enhance the bonding between the second dielectric layer and the first conductive layer. An etching process is performed, so as to remove a portion of the second dielectric layer and expose a top surface of the isolation structure.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of manufacturing the memory device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first dielectric layer is a tunneling dielectric layer, a material thereof comprises silicon oxide, and the third dielectric layer comprises a multiple layer structure consisting of silicon oxide/silicon nitride/silicon oxide/silicon nitride.
