Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device comprises a channel pattern, a first interlayer dielectric film and a second interlayer dielectric film spaced apart from each other and stacked over each other, a gate pattern disposed between the first interlayer dielectric film and the second interlayer dielectric film, a trap layer disposed between the gate pattern and the channel pattern and a charge spreading inhibition layer disposed between the channel pattern and the first interlayer dielectric film and between the channel pattern and the second interlayer dielectric film. The charge spreading inhibition layer may include charges inside or on its surface. The charge spreading inhibition layer includes at least one of a metal oxide film or a metal nitride film or a metal oxynitride film having a greater dielectric constant than a silicon oxide film.
