Abstract:
The nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell having a transistor in which an insulating isolation layer is formed in a channel region. The nonvolatile memory device includes a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor as a basic component. An insulating isolation layer is formed in at least a channel region, and a gate insulating layer includes an insulating layer or a variable resistor and serves as a data storage. A gate includes a metal layer formed in a lower portion thereof. First source and drain regions are lightly doped with a dopant, and second source and drain regions are heavily doped with a dopant.
