Nonvolatile Memory Devices Having Charge-Trap Layers Therein with Relatively High Election Affinity

摘要

Provided is a nonvolatile memory device. The nonvolatile memory device may include a tunnel insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate; a charge trap layer disposed on the tunnel insulating layer and having an electron affinity greater than a silicon nitride layer; a barrier insulating layer on the charge trap layer; a blocking insulating layer on the barrier insulating layer; and a gate electrode on the blocking insulating layer. An electron affinity of the barrier insulating layer is smaller than an electron affinity of the blocking insulating layer.
