A method of forming an array of floating gate memory cells, and an array formed thereby, that includes source and drain regions formed in a substrate, and a conductive block of material disposed over the source region. The floating gate is formed as a thin, L-shaped layer of conductive material having a first portion disposed over the channel region and a second portion extending vertically along the conductive block. The control gate includes a first portion disposed adjacent to and insulated from a distal end of the floating gate first portion, and a second portion disposed adjacent to the channel region. A portion of the control gate could extend into a trench formed into the substrate, wherein the drain region is formed underneath the trench, and the channel region has a first portion extending along the trench sidewall and a second portion extending along the substrate surface. |
