    摘要: A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory device at least comprises steps as follows. First, a substrate on which a bottom dielectric layer is formed is provided. Then, impurities are introduced through the bottom dielectric layer to the substrate, so as to form a plurality of spaced doped regions on the substrate. The structure is thermally annealed for pushing the spaced doped regions to diffuse outwardly. After annealing, a charge trapping layer is formed on the bottom dielectric layer, and a top dielectric layer is formed on the charge trapping layer. Finally, a gate structure (such as a polysilicon layer and a silicide) is formed on the top dielectric layer.

    摘要: A method of operating a memory cell by applying a positive voltage to the gate sufficient to cause hole tunneling from the gate toward the charge storage layer is disclosed. The method is applied to a memory cell including a semiconductor layer having at least two source/drain regions disposed below a surface of the semiconductor layer and separated by a channel region. The memory cell also has a lower insulating layer disposed above the channel region; a charge storage layer disposed above the lower insulating layer; an upper insulating multi-layer structure disposed above the charge storage layer. The upper insulating multi-layer structure comprises a lower dielectric layer and an upper nitride layer disposed above the lower dielectric layer and the memory cell has a gate disposed above the upper insulating multi-layer structure.
