EEPROM cell structure and a method of fabricating the same

摘要

An electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) cell structure and a method of fabricating the same. The EEPROM cell comprising a substrate comprising two shallow trench isolation (STI) structures separated by a substrate portion; an intermediate patterned layer formed on the substrate such that the patterned layer covers respective portions of each STI structure; a floating gate bridging between the STI structures such that the floating gate extends over the intermediate patterned layer; a dielectric layer formed over the floating gate; and a control gate formed over the dielectric layer.
