ABSTRACT:
A memory device (100) may include a substrate (110), a dielectric layer (210) formed on the substrate (110) and a charge storage element (220) formed on the dielectric layer (210). The memory device (100) may also include an inter-gate dielectric (230) formed on the charge storage element (220), a barrier layer (240) formed on the inter-gate dielectric (230) and a control gate (250) formed on the barrier layer (240). The barrier layer (240) prevents reaction between the control gate (250) and the inter-gate dielectric (230).
