    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes forming a sub-gate without an additional mask. A low word-line resistance is formed by a metal silicide layer on a main gate of the memory device. In operation, application of a voltage to the sub-gate forms a transient state inversion layer that serves as a bit-line, so that no implantation is required to form the bit-line.

    Abstract: A NAND-type flash memory device includes asymmetric floating gates overlying respective wordlines. A given floating gate is sufficiently coupled to its respective wordline such that a large gate (i.e., wordline) bias voltage will couple the floating gate with a voltage which can invert the channel under the floating gate. The inversion channel under the floating gate can thus serve as the source/drain. As a result, the memory device does not need a shallow junction, or an assist-gate. In addition, the memory device exhibits relatively low floating gate-to-floating gate (FG-FG) interference.
