    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an integrated circuit comprising a nonvolatile memory on a semiconductor substrate. The integrated circuit comprises a doped isolation layer implanted in the depth of the substrate, isolated conductive trenches reaching the isolation layer and forming gates of selection transistors of memory cells, isolation trenches perpendicular to the conductive trenches and reaching the isolation layer, and conductive lines parallel to the conductive trenches, extending on the substrate and forming control gates of charge accumulation transistors of memory cells. The isolation trenches and the isolated conductive trenches delimit a plurality of mini wells in the substrate, the mini wells electrically isolated from each other, each having a floating electrical potential and comprising two memory cells.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method of making a semiconductor device includes simultaneously etching a semiconductor layer and a conductive layer to form a self-aligned diode region disposed on an insulating layer, where the semiconductor layer has a first conductivity type. The method further includes etching through first openings of a mask layer to form first implantation surfaces on the semiconductor layer and to form a plurality of projecting regions including conductive material of the conductive layer over the semiconductor layer. The method further includes using the plurality of projecting regions as a part of a first implantation mask, performing a first implantation of dopants having a second conductivity type into the semiconductor layer, to form a sequence of PN junctions forming diodes in the semiconductor layer. The diodes vertically extend from an upper surface of the semiconductor layer to the insulating layer.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a first state transistor and a second state transistor having a common control gate. A first selection transistor is buried in the semiconductor body and coupled to the first state transistor so that current paths of the first selection transistor and first state transistor are coupled in series. A second selection transistor is buried in the semiconductor body and coupled to the second state transistor so that current paths of the second selection transistor and second state transistor are coupled in series. The first and second selection transistors have a common buried selection gate. A dielectric region is located between the common control gate and the semiconductor body. A first bit line is coupled to the first state transistor and a second bit line is coupled to the second state transistor.
