Abstract

Provided are a three dimensional semiconductor memory device and a method of fabricating the same. In the three dimensional semiconductor memory device, a stack of gate electrodes and insulating layers may be formed on a substrate, a channel structure may extend through the stack and connect to the substrate. A blocking insulating layer, a charge storing layer and a tunnel insulating layer may be formed between each gate electrode and the channel structure. The tunnel insulating layer may include a high-k dielectric layer with a low charge trap site density. The tunnel insulating layer may also include a first and a second tunnel insulating layers, and the high-k dielectric layer is provided between the first and second tunnel insulating layers.
