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 17):
The memory according to  claim 16 , wherein:\n the control gate structure includes the control gate dielectric layer and the control gate electrode layer; the top region of the control gate structure includes portions of the control gate electrode layer, and the body region of the control gate structure includes the control gate dielectric layer and portions of the control gate electrode layer; a size of the control gate electrode layer in the top region is smaller than a size of the control gate electrode layer in the body region along the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the control gate structure, and a sidewall of the control gate electrode layer in the top region is connected to a sidewall of the control gate electrode layer in the body region; and the top of the air gap is above or coplanar with a top surface of the control gate electrode layer.
