  • Publication number: 20220302160
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a plurality of electrode films on a substrate alternating with plurality of gaps or insulating layers. A charge storage film is provided on a side surface of each of the plurality of electrode films with a first insulating film placed therebetween. A semiconductor film is provided on a side surface of the charge storage film with a second insulating film placed therebetween. Furthermore, a concentration of a first element in the charge storage film adjacent to each gap or insulating film is higher than a concentration of the first element in the charge storage film adjacent to each electrode film. The first element is one of boron, niobium, or molybdenum.
