    Abstract: A stack gate structure for a non-volatile memory array has a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of substantially parallel spaced apart active regions, with each active region having an axis in a first direction. A first insulating material is between each stack gate structure in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each stack gate structure has a second insulating material over the active region, a charge holding gate over the second insulating material, a third insulating material over the charge holding gate, and a first portion of a control gate over the third insulating material. A second portion of the control gate is over the first portion of the control gate and over the first insulating material adjacent thereto and extending in the second direction. A fourth insulating material is over the second portion of the control gate.

    Abstract: A method of forming a memory device by forming spaced apart first and second regions with a channel region therebetween, forming a floating gate over and insulated from a first portion of the channel region, forming a control gate over and insulated from the floating gate, forming an erase gate over and insulated from the first region, and forming a select gate over and insulated from a second portion of the channel region. Forming of the floating gate includes forming a first insulation layer on the substrate, forming a first conductive layer on the first insulation layer, and performing two separate etches to form first and second trenches through the first conductive layer. A sidewall of the first conductive layer at the first trench has a negative slope and a sidewall of the first conductive layer at the second trench is vertical.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device that a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. An array of non-volatile memory cells is in the semiconductor substrate arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. Each memory cell comprises a first region on a surface of the semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type, and a second region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate of the second conductivity type. A channel region is between the first region and the second region. A word line overlies a first portion of the channel region and is insulated therefrom, and adjacent to the first region and having little or no overlap with the first region. A floating gate overlies a second portion of the channel region, is adjacent to the first portion, and is insulated therefrom and is adjacent to the second region. A coupling gate overlies the floating gate. A bit line is connected to the first region. A negative charge pump circuit generates a first negative voltage. A control circuit receives a command signal and generates a plurality of control signals, in response thereto and applies the first negative voltage to the word line of the unselected memory cells. During the operations of program, read or erase, a negative voltage can be applied to the word lines of the unselected memory cells.
