CHARGE TRAP STRUCTURE WITH BARRIER TO BLOCKING REGION

Abstract:

Various embodiments, disclosed herein, include methods and apparatus having charge trap structures, where each charge trap structure includes a dielectric barrier between a gate and a blocking dielectric on a charge trap region of the charge trap structure. In various embodiments, material of the dielectric barrier of each of the charge trap structures may have a dielectric constant greater than that of aluminum oxide. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
