    摘要: Example embodiments relate to nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices using an electric charge storing layer as a storage node and fabrication methods thereof. An electric charge trap type nonvolatile memory device may include a tunneling film, an electric charge storing layer, a blocking insulation film, and a gate electrode. The blocking insulation film may be an aluminum oxide having an energy band gap larger than that of a γ-phase aluminum oxide film. An α-phase crystalline aluminum oxide film as a blocking insulation film may have an energy band gap of about 7.0 eV or more along with fewer defects. The crystalline aluminum oxide film may be formed by providing a source film (e.g., AlF3 film) on or within a preliminary blocking insulation film (e.g., amorphous aluminum oxide film) and performing a heat treatment. Alternatively, an aluminum compound (e.g., AlF3) may be introduced into the preliminary blocking insulation film by other diffusion methods or ion implantation. Accordingly, the ability of the memory device to maintain electric charges may be improved, the operating voltage for programming and erasing may be lowered, and the operating speed may be increased.

    摘要: A charge trap memory device according to example embodiments may include a tunnel insulating layer provided on a substrate. A charge trap layer may be provided on the tunnel insulating layer. A blocking insulating layer may be provided on the charge trap layer, wherein the blocking insulating layer may include a lanthanide (e.g., lanthanum). The blocking insulating layer may further include aluminum and oxygen, wherein the ratio of lanthanide to aluminum may be greater than 1 (e.g., about 1.5 to about 2). The charge trap memory device may further include a buffer layer provided between the charge trap layer and the blocking insulating layer, and a gate electrode provided on the blocking insulating layer.
