Floating Gate MOSFET Implementation: Key Steps and Industry Best Practices

Floating Gate MOSFET Implementation: Key Steps and Industry Best Practices

February 20, 2025

The floating gate MOSFET (FGMOS) stands as a cornerstone of modern non-volatile memory technology. As a leading semiconductor components distributor, Olukey partners with WINSOK to deliver cutting-edge MOSFET solutions for various applications.

Essential Components of Floating Gate MOSFET Structure

Implementing a floating gate MOSFET requires precise attention to several critical components:

Gate Structure

  • Control gate (top layer)
  • Inter-poly dielectric
  • Floating gate (isolated)
  • Tunnel oxide layer

Substrate Elements

  • Source region
  • Drain region
  • Channel area
  • Bulk connection

Manufacturing Process Steps

  1. Substrate preparation and cleaning
  2. Growth of tunnel oxide layer
  3. Deposition of first polysilicon layer (floating gate)
  4. Formation of inter-poly dielectric
  5. Deposition of second polysilicon layer (control gate)
  6. Source/drain implantation
  7. Metallization and passivation
