摘要: A non-volatile memory device includes at least one memory cell, and the memory cell includes a substrate, an assist gate structure, a tunneling dielectric layer, a floating gate, and an upper gate structure. The assist gate structure is disposed on the substrate. The floating gate includes two opposite first top edges arranged along a first direction, two opposite first sidewalls arranged along the first direction, and two opposite second sidewalls arranged along a second direction different from the first direction. The upper gate structure covers the assist gate structure and the floating gate, where at least one of the first top edges of the floating gate is embedded in the upper gate structure. Portions of the upper gate structure extend beyond the second sidewalls of the floating gate in the second direction, and the portions of the upper gate structure are disposed above the substrate.
