Semiconductor device fabrication method and devices are disclosed. A device may be fabricated by forming in a semiconductor layer; filling the trench with an insulating material; removing selected portions of the insulating material leaving a portion of the insulating material in a bottom portion of the trench; forming one or more spacers on one or more sidewalls of a remaining portion of the trench; anisotropically etching the insulating material in the bottom portion of the trench using the spacers as a mask to form a trench in the insulator; removing the spacers; and filling the trench in the insulator with a conductive material. Alternatively, an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) structure may be formed on a sidewall and at a bottom of the trench and one or more conductive structures may be formed in a portion of the trench not occupied by the ONO structure.
