    摘要: An electronic circuit can include a first memory cell and a second memory cell. In one embodiment, source/drain regions of the first and second memory cells can be electrically connected to each other. The source/drain regions may electrically float regardless of direction in which carriers flow through channel regions of the memory cells. In another embodiment, the first memory cell can be electrically connected to a first gate line, and the second memory cell can be electrically connected to a greater number of gate lines as compared to the first memory cell. In another aspect, the first and second memory cells are connected to the same bit line. Such bit line can electrically float when programming or reading the first memory cell or the second memory cell or any combination thereof.

    摘要: An electronic device can include discontinuous storage elements that lie within a trench. In one embodiment, the electronic device can include a substrate having a trench that includes a wall and a bottom. The electronic device can also include a portion of discontinuous storage elements that lie within the trench. The electronic device can also include a first gate electrode, wherein at least one discontinuous storage element lies along the wall of the trench at an elevation between and upper surface of the first gate electrode and a primary surface of the substrate. The electronic device can also include a second gate electrode overlying the first gate electrode and the primary surface of the substrate. In another embodiment, a conductive line can be electrically connected to one or more rows or columns of memory cells, and another conductive line can be more rows or more columns of memory cells.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a substrate having a trench that includes a wall and a bottom. The electronic device can also include a first set of discontinuous storage elements that overlie a primary surface of the substrate and a second set of discontinuous storage elements that lie within the trench. The electronic device can also include a first gate electrode, wherein substantially none of the discontinuous storage elements lies along the wall of the trench at an elevation between and upper surface of the first gate electrode and the primary surface of the substrate. The electronic device can also include a second gate electrode overlying the first gate electrode and the primary surface. In another embodiment, a conductive line can be electrically connected to one or more rows or columns of memory cells, and another conductive line can be more rows or more columns of memory cells.
