    Abstract: A memory device that includes source and drain regions formed in a semiconductor substrate, with a first channel region of the substrate extending there between. A floating gate is disposed over and insulated from the channel region, wherein the conductivity of the channel region is solely controlled by the floating gate. A control gate is disposed over and insulated from the floating gate. An erase gate is disposed over and insulated from the source region, wherein the erase gate includes a notch that faces and is insulated from an edge of the floating gate. Logic devices are formed on the same substrate. Each logic device has source and drain regions with a channel region extending there between, and a logic gate disposed over and controlling the logic device's channel region.

    Abstract: A method of forming a memory device that includes forming on a substrate, a first insulation layer, a first conductive layer, a second insulation layer, a second conductive layer, a third insulation layer. First trenches are formed through third insulation layer, the second conductive layer, the second insulation layer and the first conductive layer, leaving side portions of the first conductive layer exposed. A fourth insulation layer is formed at the bottom of the first trenches that extends along the exposed portions of the first conductive layer. The first trenches are filled with conductive material. Second trenches are formed through the third insulation layer, the second conductive layer, the second insulation layer and the first conductive layer. Drain regions are formed in the substrate under the second trenches. A pair of memory cells results, with a single continuous channel region extending between drain regions for the pair of memory cells.

    Abstract: A method of forming a non-volatile memory cell on a substrate having memory cell and logic circuit regions by forming a pair of conductive floating gates in the memory cell region, forming a first source region in the substrate between the pair of floating gates, forming a polysilicon layer in both regions, forming an oxide layer over the polysilicon layer in the logic circuit region, performing a chemical-mechanical polish of the polysilicon layer in the memory cell area leaving a first block of the polysilicon layer between the floating gates that is separated from remaining portions of the polysilicon layer, and selectively etching portions of the polysilicon layer to result in: second and third blocks of the polysilicon layer disposed in outer regions of the memory cell area, and a fourth block of the polysilicon layer in the logic circuit region.
