Abstract:
A three-dimensional non-volatile memory and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The three-dimensional non-volatile memory includes a substrate, a charge storage structure, a stacked structure and a channel layer. The charge storage structure is disposed on the substrate. The stacked structure is disposed at a side of the charge storage structure and includes insulating layers, gates, a buffer layer and a barrier layer. The insulating layers and the gates are alternately stacked. The buffer layer is disposed between each of the gates and the charge storage structure and on the surfaces of the insulating layers. The barrier layer is disposed between each of the gates and the buffer layer. An end of the gate is convex with respect to an end of the barrier layer in a direction away from the channel layer.

Claim (Index 13):
The manufacturing method of the three-dimensional non-volatile memory as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the step of forming the stacked structure comprises:\n forming a plurality of insulating material layers and a plurality of sacrifice layers alternately stacked on the substrate; performing a patterning process on the insulating material layers and the sacrifice layers to form a first opening; removing the sacrifice layers exposed by the first opening to form a second opening exposing a portion of the charge storage structure; forming a gate layer on a surface of the first opening and filling the gate layer into the second opening, wherein the gate layer comprises a buffer material layer, a barrier material layer, and a gate material layer sequentially formed; and removing a portion of the gate material layer, a portion of the buffer material layer, and a portion of the barrier material layer to form the gates, the buffer layer, and the barrier layer.
