    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing vertical semiconductor devices may include forming a mold structure including sacrificial layers and insulating interlayers with a first opening formed therethrough. The sacrificial layers and the insulating interlayers may be stacked repeatedly and alternately on a substrate. The first opening may expose the substrate. Blocking layers may be formed by oxidizing portions of the sacrificial layers exposed by the first opening. A first semiconductor layer pattern, a charge trapping layer pattern and a tunnel insulation layer pattern, respectively, may be formed on the sidewall of the first opening. A second semiconductor layer may be formed on the first polysilicon layer pattern and the bottom of the first opening. The sacrificial layers and the insulating interlayers may be partially removed to form a second opening. The sacrificial layers may be removed to form grooves between the insulating interlayers. Control gate electrodes may be formed in the grooves.

    Abstract: A gate structure of a non-volatile memory device and a method of forming the same including a tunnel oxide layer pattern, a charge trap layer pattern, a blocking dielectric layer pattern having the uppermost layer including a material having a first dielectric constant greater than that of a material included in the tunnel oxide layer pattern, and first and second conductive layer patterns. The gate structure includes a first spacer to cover at least the sidewall of the second conductive layer pattern. The gate structure includes a second spacer covering the sidewall of the first spacer and the sidewall of the first conductive layer pattern and including a material having a second dielectric constant equal to or greater than the first dielectric constant. In the non-volatile memory device including the gate structure, erase saturation caused by back tunneling is reduced.

    Abstract: The memory devices include a tunneling insulating layer disposed on a substrate, a charge storage layer disposed on the tunneling insulating layer, a blocking insulating layer disposed on the charge storage layer and a control gate electrode disposed on the blocking insulating layer. The control gate electrode may have an edge portion spaced farther apart from the blocking insulating layer than a central portion of the control gate electrode to concentrate charge density distribution on a central portion of a memory cell.
