    摘要: A method of forming an array of floating gate memory cells, and an array formed thereby, wherein each memory cell includes a substrate of semiconductor material having a first conductivity type, source and drain regions formed in the substrate, a block of conductive material disposed over and electrically connected to the source, and a floating gate having a first portion disposed over and insulated from the source region and a second portion disposed over and insulated from the channel region. The floating gate first portion includes a sloped upper surface and a side surface that meet at an acute edge. An electrically conductive control gate is disposed over and insulated from the channel region for controlling a conductivity thereof.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory including a substrate of a first conductivity type with first and second spaced apart regions formed therein of a second conductivity type with a channel region therebetween. A polysilicon metal gate word line is positioned over a first portion of the channel region and spaced apart therefrom by a high K dielectric layer. The metal portion of the word line is immediately adjacent to the high K dielectric layer. A polysilicon floating gate is immediately adjacent to and spaced apart from the word line, and positioned over and insulated from another portion of the channel region. A polysilicon coupling gate is positioned over and insulated from the floating gate. A polysilicon erase gate is positioned on another side of and insulated from the floating gate, positioned over and insulated from the second region, and immediately adjacent to but spaced apart from another side of the coupling gate.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory cell includes first and second regions and a channel region therebetween, a word line gate over a first portion of the channel region, a floating gate over another portion of the channel region and adjacent to the word line gate, a coupling gate over the floating gate, and an erase gate adjacent to the floating gate on an opposite side to the word line gate and over the second region. Programming the memory cell includes applying a first positive voltage to the word line gate, applying a voltage differential between the first and second regions, applying a second positive voltage to the coupling gate (where the voltages and the voltage differential are applied substantially at the same time), and applying a third positive voltage to the erase gate after a period of delay from the application of the first and second positive voltages and the voltage differential.
