Abstract

A memory is described. Generally, the memory includes a number of non-planar multigate transistors, each including a channel of semiconducting material overlying a surface of a substrate and electrically connecting a source and a drain, a tunnel dielectric layer overlying the channel on at least three sides thereof, and a multi-layer charge-trapping region overlying the tunnel dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the multi-layer charge-trapping region includes a first deuterated layer overlying the tunnel dielectric layer and a first nitride-containing layer overlying the first deuterated layer. Other embodiments are also described.
