With the continuous reduction of the size of the device, the size between the grid electrodes is smaller and smaller, and the size of the contact hole is smaller and smaller; in the existing silicon nitride gate side wall, the problem that the interlayer dielectric layer is not filled enough to form a cavity is caused by the reduction of the size between the gate and the gate, so people invent the L-shaped gate side wall to improve the filling of the interlayer dielectric layer; however, as the size of the device is reduced, the filling of the interlayer dielectric layer of the L-shaped gate sidewall is still a problem.
In addition, with the continuous reduction of the size of the contact hole, the cost of the photomask is higher and higher, and meanwhile, the exposure of the contact hole is more and more difficult; meanwhile, the distance between the contact hole and the grid is smaller and smaller due to the reduction of the size of the device, and the contact hole and the grid are easy to break down due to the fluctuation of the process capability; in addition, the distance between the bottom of the contact hole and the gate has a great influence on the disturb (disturb) performance of the memory.

Contact holes 107 on both sides of the polysilicon gate 104 are shown in fig. 1.
As the device size shrinks, the spacing between the polysilicon gates 104 decreases, which results in a smaller spacing between the contact holes 107 adjacent to the polysilicon gates 104 and the polysilicon gates 104, so that breakdown between the contact holes 107 and the corresponding polysilicon gates 104 can easily occur, mainly at the top of the dotted circle 108, where the spacing between the contact holes 107 and the corresponding polysilicon gates 104 is d 101.
