The present invention relates to a flash memory device and its fabrication method. The device comprises a structure for improving a scaling-down characteristic/performance and increasing memory capacity of the MOS-based flash memory device. A new device structure according to the present invention is based on a recessed channel capable of implementing highly-integrated/high-performance and 2-bit/cell. The proposed device suppresses the short channel effect, reduces the cell area, and enables 2-bit/cell by forming the charge storage node as a spacer inside the recessed channel. Moreover, if selectively removing the dielectric films around the recessed silicon surface, the sides as well as the surface of the recessed channel is exposed. A spacer can be used as a storage node, thereby improving the channel controllability of the control electrode and the on-off characteristic of a device. The proposed structure also resolves the threshold voltage problem and improves the write/erase speeds.
