Example embodiments may provide a nonvolatile memory device. The example embodiment nonvolatile memory device may include a floating gate structure formed on a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulating layer between them and/or a control gate formed adjacent to the floating gate with a tunneling insulation layer between them. The floating gate may include a first floating gate formed on the gate insulating layer, a second floating gate formed on the first floating gate with a first insulating pattern between them, and/or a gate connecting layer formed on at least one sidewall of the first insulating pattern so that the gate conducting layer may electrically connect the first floating gate and the second floating gate. The second floating gate may have a tip formed at its longitudinal end that may not contact the gate connecting layer.

A method of fabricating a flash memory cell having a split gate structure. A sacrificial layer is formed on a floating gate layer formed on a semiconductor substrate. The sacrificial layer is etched to form an opening exposing a portion of the floating gate layer. A gate interlayer insulating layer pattern is formed inside the opening. After removing the sacrificial layer pattern and etching the floating gate layer (using the gate interlayer insulating layer pattern as an etch mask), a floating gate is formed under the gate interlayer insulating layer pattern. A control gate is formed overlapping a portion of the floating gate.

There are provided PRAMS having a plurality of active regions located vertically in sequence and methods of forming the same. The PRAM and the method provide an approach to rapidly changing phase in a phase change layer pattern with a given design rule. A semiconductor substrate defining at least one reference active region is prepared in a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region. Other semiconductor substrates on a vertical line passing a main surface of the reference active region are located in sequence. The other semiconductor substrates define other active regions, respectively. A lower cell gate pattern is formed on the semiconductor substrate of the reference active region, and upper cell gate patterns are disposed on the other semiconductor substrates of the other active regions, respectively.

A phase change memory device includes a mold layer disposed on a substrate, a heating electrode, a filling insulation pattern and a phase change material pattern. The heating electrode is disposed in an opening exposing the substrate through the mold layer. The heating electrode is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, having its sidewalls conformally disposed on the lower inner walls of the opening. The filling insulation pattern fills an empty region surrounded by the sidewalls of the heating electrode. The phase change material pattern is disposed on the mold layer and downwardly extended to fill the empty part of the opening. The phase change material pattern contacts the top surfaces of the sidewalls of the heating electrode.
