Abstract:
Methods of forming an electronic device include providing a fist electrode, providing a dielectric oxide layer on the first electrode, and providing a second electrode on the dielectric oxide layer so that the dielectric oxide layer is between the first and second electrodes. More particularly, a first portion of the dielectric oxide layer adjacent the first electrode can have a first density of titanium, and a second portion of the dielectric oxide layer opposite the first electrode can have a second density of titanium different than the first density. Related structures are also discussed.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, in which the thickness of a gate insulating layer of a CMOS device can be controlled. The method can include selectively injecting fluorine (F) into a first region on a substrate and avoiding injecting the fluorine (F) into a second region on the substrate. A first gate insulating layer is formed of oxynitride layers on the first and second regions to have first and second thicknesses, respectively, where the first thickness is less than the second thickness. A second gate insulating layer is formed on the first gate insulating layer and a gate electrode pattern is formed on the second gate insulating layer.

The gate electrode includes a first gate conductive layer pattern and a second gate conductive layer pattern. The first gate conductive layer pattern has a nitrogen concentration gradient gradually increasing from a lower portion of the first gate conductive layer pattern to an upper portion of the first gate conductive layer pattern. The second gate conductive layer pattern includes a material having a resistance substantially lower than a resistance of the first gate conductive layer pattern.

In a method of manufacturing a dielectric structure, after a tunnel oxide layer pattern is formed on a substrate, a floating gate is formed on the tunnel oxide layer. After a first dielectric layer pattern including a metal silicon oxide and a second dielectric layer pattern including a metal silicon oxynitride are formed, a control gate is formed on the dielectric structure. Since the dielectric structure includes at least one metal silicon oxide layer and at least one metal silicon oxynitride layer, the dielectric structure may have a high dielectric constant and a good thermal resistance. A non-volatile semiconductor memory device including the dielectric structure may have good electrical characteristics such as a large capacitance and a low leakage current.
