A new SONOS memory device is provided, in which a conventional planar surface of multi-dielectric layers (ONO layers) is instead formed with a curved surface such as a cylindrical shape, and included is a method for fabricating the same. A radius of curvature of the upper surface of a blocking oxide can be designed to be larger than that of the lower surface of a tunneling oxide, which restrains electrons from passing through the blocking oxide by back-tunneling on erasing. As a result, a SONOS memory device shows an improvement in erasing speed.
