A floating gate has a first portion disposed vertically over a first portion of the channel region, and a second portion disposed vertically over the first region. The floating gate includes a sloping upper surface that terminates with one or more sharp edges. An erase gate is disposed vertically over the floating gate with the one or more sharp edges facing the erase gate. A control gate has a first portion disposed laterally adjacent to the floating gate, and vertically over the first region. A select gate has a first portion disposed vertically over a second portion of the channel region, and laterally adjacent to the floating gate.

The source region is formed under the trench, and the channel region between the source and drain regions includes a first portion that extends substantially along a sidewall of the trench and a second portion that extends substantially along the surface of the substrate. The floating gate is disposed in the trench, and is insulated from the channel region first portion for controlling its conductivity. The control gate is disposed over and insulated from the channel region second portion, for controlling its conductivity. The erase gate is disposed at least partially over and insulated from the floating gate. Any portion of the trench between the pair of floating gates is free of electrically conductive elements except for a lower portion of the erase gate.
