1. A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:
providing a substrate having a trench therein, wherein the trench is used for accommodating a trench device;
forming a doped metal silicide layer over the substrate within the trench, wherein a material constituting the doped metal silicide layer comprises germanium silicide;
performing a heating process to form a source/drain region in the substrate underneath the doped metal silicide layer; and
forming a first conductive layer over the doped metal silicide layer to fill up the trench.
