Abstract

A non-volatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, first and second control gates, and first and second charge storage patterns. The semiconductor substrate includes a protruding active pin having a source region, a drain region and a channel region located between the source and drain regions. The first control gate is located on a first sidewall of the channel region, and the second control gate is located on a second sidewall of the channel region. The second second control gate is separated from the first control gate. The first charge storage pattern is located between the first sidewall and the first control gate, and the second charge storage pattern is located between the second sidewall and the second control gate.
