Patent ID: 7378328

Claim:
A method of fabricating a carbon nanotube memory device, the method comprising: (a) forming a carbon nanotube on a substrate and forming a source electrode and a drain electrode in contact with the carbon nanotube such that the carbon nanotube between the source electrode and the drain electrode serves as a charge moving channel; (b) forming a memory cell in contact with the carbon nanotube by sequentially forming a first insulating film, a charge storage film, and a second insulating film on the carbon nanotube, the source electrode, and the drain electrode, and patterning the first insulating film, the charge storage film, and the second insulating film; and (c) forming a gate electrode which controls the amount of charge flowing from the carbon nanotube into the charge storage film by forming a metal layer on the second insulating film and patterning the metal layer, wherein forming the charge storage film includes: forming a porous charge storage material layer having a plurality of nanodots therein, and depositing a charge storage material in the nanodots.
