  • Publication number: 20160358931
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an embedded electronic device including charge trap memory cells that includes forming a tunnel insulation layer, a charge trap layer and a sacrificial insulation layer on a substrate having a first region and a second region. The tunnel insulation layer, the charge trap layer and the sacrificial insulation layer which are stacked on the second region of the substrate are selectively removed. A well region is formed in an upper region of the second region of the substrate. The sacrificial insulation layer remaining over the first region is removed to expose the charge trap layer remaining over the first region. A blocking insulation layer and a gate insulation layer are formed on the exposed charge trap layer over the first region and on the second region of the substrate, respectively.
