Nonvolatile memory device having multiple numbers of channel layers

Abstract

A nonvolatile memory device according to an embodiment includes a substrate, a cell electrode structure disposed on the substrate and including interlayer insulating layers and gate electrode layers that are alternately stacked, a trench penetrating the cell structure on the substrate, a charge storage structure disposed on a sidewall surface of the trench, and a channel structure disposed adjacent to the charge storage structure and extending in a direction parallel to the sidewall surface. The channel structure includes a separate hole conduction layer and an adjacent and separate electron conduction layer. A control channel layer disposed on a control dielectric layer is a portion of the electron conduction layer configured to electrically connect to the channel structure, and to the charge storage structure. A control dielectric layer and a charge barrier layer are discrete but contiguous from the control channel structure to the charge storage structure.
