Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed in which a SONOS-type dielectric may include a charge storing dielectric (206) that includes at least one charge trapping dielectric layer (212) formed within. A charge trapping dielectric layer (212) may be a silicon-rich silicon nitride layer that may trap charge that could otherwise tunnel through a charge storing dielectric (206). A method may include forming a tunneling dielectric (302), forming a first portion of a charge storing layer (304-0), forming a charge trapping layer (306), forming a second portion of a charge storing layer (304-1), and forming a top dielectric (308).
