    摘要: A non-volatile memory device for 2-bit operation and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The non-volatile memory device includes an active region and a gate extending in a word line direction on a semiconductor substrate, and crossing each other repeatedly; a charge storage layer disposed below the gate, and confined at a portion where the gate and the active region cross; a charge blocking layer formed on the charge storage layer; a tunnel dielectric layer formed below the charge storage layer; first and second source/drain regions formed in the active region exposed by the gate; and first and second bit lines crossing the word line direction. The active region may be formed in a first zigzag pattern and/or the gate may be formed in a second zigzag pattern in symmetry with the first zigzag pattern.

    摘要: A transistor having a gate dielectric layer of partial thickness difference and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The method includes forming a gate dielectric layer having a main portion with a relatively thin thickness formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a sidewall portion with a relatively thick thickness formed on both sides of the main portion. A first gate is formed overlapping the main portion of the gate dielectric layer, and forming a second gate layer covering the sidewall portion of the gate dielectric layer and covering the first gate. The second gate layer is etched, thereby forming second gates patterned with a spacer shape on sidewalls of the first gate. The exposed sidewall portion of the gate dielectric layer is selectively etched using the second gates as a mask, thereby forming a pattern of the gate dielectric layer to be aligned with the second gates. A source/drain is formed in a portion of the semiconductor substrate exposed by the second gates.
