Non-volatile flash memory device having at least two different channel concentrations and method of fabricating the same

Abstract

In a non-volatile flash memory device, and a method of fabricating the same, the device includes a semiconductor substrate, a source region and a drain region disposed in the semiconductor substrate to be spaced apart from each other, a tunneling layer pattern, a charge trap layer pattern and a shielding layer pattern, which are sequentially stacked on the semiconductor substrate between the source region and the drain region, adjacent to the source region, a first channel region disposed in the semiconductor substrate below the tunneling layer pattern, a gate insulating layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate between the drain region and the first channel region, a second channel region disposed in the semiconductor substrate below the gate insulating layer, a concentration of the second channel region being different from that of the first channel region, and a gate electrode covering the shielding layer pattern and the gate insulating layer.
