Multi-bit non-volatile memory device, method of operating the same, and method of fabricating the same

摘要

A multi-bit non-volatile memory device and methods of operating and fabricating the same may be provided. The memory device may include a channel region formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a source and drain that form a Schottky contact with the channel region. Also, a central gate electrode may be located on a portion of the channel region, and first and second sidewall gate electrodes may be formed on the channel region along the outer sides of the central gate electrode. First and second storage nodes may be formed between the channel region and the sidewall gate electrodes.
