  • Publication number: 20200395372
    Abstract: The present technology provides a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The semiconductor device includes a channel structure, insulating structures surrounding the channel structure and stacked to be spaced apart from each other, interlayer insulating films surrounding the insulating structures, respectively, and a gate electrode extending from between the interlayer insulating films to between the insulating structures and surrounding the channel structure. The insulating structures may include protrusion portions extending to cover edges of the interlayer insulating films facing the channel structure, and the gate electrode may extend between the protrusion portions which are adjacent to each other.

  • Patent number: 9299714
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a channel layer protruding from a substrate and having protrusions extending from a sidewall thereof. Floating gates surrounding the channel layer are provided between the protrusions. Control gates surrounding the floating gates are stacked along the channel layer. Interlayer insulating layers are interposed between the control gates stacked along the channel layer. A level difference exists between a lateral surface of each of the floating gates, and a lateral surface of each of the protrusions.
