Life of the patent
3 dated eventsAbstract
A flash memory device includes a substrate, a cell stack having a semiconductor layer, in which junction areas for setting areas therebetween to channel areas are formed in a shape of a stripe, and an interlayer isolation layer for insulating the semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer and the interlayer isolation layer are repeatedly stacked. The flash memory device further includes an array of gate columns penetrating through the cell stack, perpendicular to the substrate and cutting through the junction areas to dispose the junction areas at both sides thereof, and a trap layered stack introduced into an interface between the gate column and the cell stack to store charge.
