摘要:
A non-volatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate and a tunnel insulating layer and a gate electrode. A multiple tunnel insulation layer with a plurality of layers, a charge storage insulation layer, and a multiple blocking insulation layer with layers are sequentially stacked between the gate electrode and the tunnel insulating layer. A first diffusion region and a second diffusion region in the semiconductor substrate are adjacent to opposite respective sides of the gate electrode. When a voltage is applied to the gate electrode and the semiconductor substrate to form a voltage level difference therebetween, a minimum field in the tunnel insulation layer is stronger than in the blocking insulation layer. A minimum field at a blocking insulation layer can be stronger than at a tunnel insulation layer, and the migration probability of charges through the tunnel insulation layer can be higher than through the blocking insulation layer.
