    摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) nonvolatile memory device includes a vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells on a substrate having a region of first conductivity type therein. A dopant region of second conductivity type is provided in the substrate. This dopant region forms a P-N rectifying junction with the region of first conductivity type and has a concave upper surface that is recessed relative to an upper surface of the substrate upon which the vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells extends. An electrically insulating electrode separating pattern is provided, which extends through the vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells and into the recess in the dopant region of second conductivity type.

    摘要: Methods of forming nonvolatile memory devices include forming a vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells on a substrate. This is done by forming a vertical stack of spaced-apart gate electrodes on a first sidewall of a vertical silicon active layer and treating a second sidewall of the vertical silicon active layer in order to reduce crystalline defects within the active layer and/or reduce interface trap densities therein. This treating can include exposing the second sidewall with an oxidizing species that converts a surface of the second sidewall into a silicon dioxide passivation layer. A buried insulating pattern may also be formed directly on the silicon dioxide passivation layer.
