In some implementations, one or more semiconductor processing tools may deposit a first dielectric layer on a substrate of a semiconductor device. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may deposit a floating gate on the first dielectric layer. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may deposit a second dielectric layer on the floating gate and on the substrate of the semiconductor device. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may deposit a first control gate on a first portion of the second dielectric layer. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may deposit a second control gate on a second portion of the second dielectric layer, wherein a third portion of the second dielectric layer is between the first control gate and the floating gate and between the second control gate and the floating gate.

Active areas of memory cells and active areas of transistors are delimited in an upper portion of a wafer. Floating gates are formed on active areas of the memory cells. A silicon oxide-nitride-oxide tri-layer is then deposited over the wafer and a protection layer is deposited over the silicon oxide-nitride-oxide tri-layer. Portions of the protection layer and tri-layer located over the active areas of transistors are removed. Dielectric layers are formed over the wafer and selectively removed from covering the non-removed portions of the protection layer and tri-layer. A memory cell gate is then formed over the non-removed portions of the protection layer and tri-layer and a transistor gate is then formed over the non-removed portions of the dielectric layers.

Technologies are generally described related to a dual channel memory device, system and method of manufacture. Various described devices include utilization of both a front channel and a back channel through a substrate formed underneath a dual gate structure of a semiconductor device. Using two pairs of contacts on opposing sides of the gate structure, where the contact pairs are formed on differently doped layers of the semiconductor device, multiple bits may be stored in the semiconductor device acting as a single memory cell. Memorization may be realized by storing different amount or types of charges on the floating gate, where the charges may impact a conduction status of the channels of the device. By detecting the conduction status of the channels, such as open circuit, close circuit, or high resistance, low resistance, data stored on the device (“0” or “1”) may be detected.

A split gate NAND flash memory structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. The NAND structure comprises a first region of a second conductivity type in the substrate with a second region of the second conductivity type in the substrate, spaced apart from the first region. A continuous first channel region is defined between the first region and the second region. A plurality of floating gates are spaced apart from one another with each positioned over a separate portion of the channel region. A plurality of control gates are provided with each associated with and adjacent to a floating gate. Each control gate has two portions: a first portion over a portion of the channel region and a second portion over the associated floating gate and capacitively coupled thereto.

Technologies are generally described related to a dual channel memory device, system and method of manufacture. Various described devices include utilization of both a front channel and a back channel through a substrate formed underneath a dual gate structure of a semiconductor device. Using two pairs of contacts on opposing sides of the gate structure, where the contact pairs are formed on differently doped layers of the semiconductor device, multiple bits may be stored in the semiconductor device acting as a single memory cell. Memorization may be realized by storing different amount or types of charges on the floating gate, where the charges may impact a conduction status of the channels of the device. By detecting the conduction status of the channels, such as open circuit, close circuit, or high resistance, low resistance, data stored on the device (“0” or “1”) may be detected.
