In a method of manufacturing a dielectric structure, after a tunnel oxide
layer pattern is formed on a substrate, a floating gate is formed on the
tunnel oxide layer. After a first dielectric layer pattern including a
metal silicon oxide and a second dielectric layer pattern including a
metal silicon oxynitride are formed, a control gate is formed on the
dielectric structure. Since the dielectric structure includes at least
one metal silicon oxide layer and at least one metal silicon oxynitride
layer, the dielectric structure may have a high dielectric constant and a
good thermal resistance. A non-volatile semiconductor memory device
including the dielectric structure may have good electrical
characteristics such as a large capacitance and a low leakage current.
