    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell for storing a single bit is disclosed. The non-volatile memory cell includes an access transistor including a gate, a first body, a first source/drain node, and a second source/drain node. The non-volatile memory cell also includes a first floating gate storage transistor that has a third source/drain node, a second body, a fourth source/drain node, and a first floating gate including a first storage node. The third source/drain node is coupled to the second source/drain node. The non-volatile memory cell further includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a second floating gate storage transistor. The first capacitor has a first plate coupled to the first storage node and an opposite second plate. The second floating gate storage transistor includes a fifth source/drain node, a third body, a sixth source/drain node, a second floating gate including a second storage node. The fifth source/drain node is coupled to the fourth source/drain node. The second capacitor includes a third plate coupled to the second storage node and having an opposite fourth plate. The second plate is coupled to the fourth plate, and the first body of the access transistor is coupled to the second body and the third body.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell includes a first well of a first conductivity type and a second well of a second conductivity type in a body adjacent to each other; a first conduction region, a second conduction region and a third conduction region in the first well, the first, second and third conduction regions being of the second conductivity type; a control gate region, of the first or second conductivity type, in the second well; a selection gate over the first well forming, together with the first and second conduction regions, a selection transistor; and a floating gate region. The floating gate region has a programming portion overlying the first well and a capacitive portion overlying the second well. The floating gate region forms, together with the second and third conduction regions, a storage transistor and, together with the control gate region, a capacitive element.
